Focal Point Theory Models for Dissecting Dynamic Duality Problems of Microbial Infections [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2008
Extending along the dynamic continuum from conflict to cooperation, microbial infections always involve symbiosis (Sym) and pathogenesis (Pat). There exists a dynamic Sym‐Pat duality (DSPD) in microbial infection that is the most fundamental problem in infectomics. DSPD is encoded by the genomes of both the microbes and their hosts.

Germs, Dr. Billings, and the Theory of Focal Infection [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1998
Our understanding of infectious diseases continues to expand rapidly, and has led to the realization that microorganisms are responsible for, or at least contribute to, numerous diseases that were never before associated with infectious etiologies. However, a review of medical history reminds us that this is not so novel an idea.

The gateway theory: bridging neural and immune interactions in the CNS

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
The central nervous system (CNS) is considered an immune-privileged tissue protected by a specific vessel structure, the brain-blood barrier (BBB). Upon infection or traumatic injury in the CNS, the BBB is breached, and various immune cells are recruited

Identifying spatial invasion of pandemics on metapopulation networks via anatomizing arrival history [PDF]

, 2015
Spatial spread of infectious diseases among populations via the mobility of humans is highly stochastic and heterogeneous. Accurate forecast/mining of the spread process is often hard to be achieved by using statistical or mechanical models.

Reaction-diffusion spatial modeling of COVID-19: Greece and Andalusia as case examples [PDF]

, 2021
We examine the spatial modeling of the outbreak of COVID-19 in two regions: the autonomous community of Andalusia in Spain and the mainland of Greece. We start with a 0D compartmental epidemiological model consisting of Susceptible, Exposed, Asymptomatic,

Update on Focal Infection Management: A Czech Interdisciplinary Consensus

International Dental Journal
Background: The focal infection theory has been used to explain several chronic systemic diseases in the past. Systemic diseases were thought to be caused by focal infections, such as caries and periodontal diseases, and dentists were held responsible ...

One Health – an Ecological and Evolutionary Framework for tackling Neglected Zoonotic Diseases [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding the complex population biology and transmission ecology of multihost parasites has been declared as one of the major challenges of biomedical sciences for the 21st century and the Neglected Zoonotic Diseases (NZDs) are perhaps the most ...

DENDRITIC CELL DIFFERENTIATION BLOCKED BY PRIMARY EFFUSION LYMPHOMA-RELEASED FACTORS IS PARTIALLY RESTORED BY INHIBITION OF P38 MAPK [PDF]

, 2010
To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the dendritic cell (DC) defects in cancer, we analyzed which signaling pathway is implicated in the abnormal monocyte differentiation into DC determined by the presence of Primary effusion lymphoma
