Immune cell infiltration correlates with intestinal permeability, inflammation, and gastrointestinal symptoms in type 1 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
In individuals with type 1 diabetes, immune cell infiltration in the colon mucosa tended to correlate with fecal and systemic markers of intestinal permeability and inflammation, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms. These findings suggest that low‐grade gut immune activation might link the intestinal barrier dysfunction with systemic endotoxin ...

The dysregulation of innate immunity by Porphyromonas gingivalis in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infant Mortality in Sri Lanka: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Sepsis is a major cause of mortality among children, with the highest burden evident in neonates and young infants, particularly, in resource‐constrained healthcare settings. Despite this burden, there are insufficient published data to delineate the epidemiology of neonatal sepsis from many of these settings.
