Disease processes as hybrid dynamical systems [PDF]
We investigate the use of hybrid techniques in complex processes of infectious diseases. Since predictive disease models in biomedicine require a multiscale approach for understanding the molecule-cell-tissue-organ-body interactions, heterogeneous methodologies are often employed for describing the different biological scales.

Abstract Background We report the successful conservative management of a pathological mandibular fracture resulting from chronic osteomyelitis in a super‐elderly patient. Case Presentation A 90‐year‐old woman was admitted because of an external dental fistula with purulent drainage. Radiographs showed extensive bone destruction in the mandible.

Oral flora of domestic cats in Hong Kong: Identification of antibiotic‐resistant strains
Abstract Background As the clinical outcome of bite‐associated infection is related to the oral commensals, evaluating their composition and antibiotic susceptibility pattern can provide more information for the antibiotic treatment of wound infections and increase the awareness of the multidrug‐resistant bacteria in cat oral flora. Aims This study was

Choosing the right animal model for osteomyelitis research: Considerations and challenges
Osteomyelitis is a debilitating bone disorder characterized by an inflammatory process involving the bone marrow, bone cortex, periosteum, and surrounding soft tissue, which can ultimately result in bone destruction.

Role of Animal Models to Advance Research of Bacterial Osteomyelitis
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory bone disease typically caused by infectious microorganisms, often bacteria, which causes progressive bone destruction and loss. The most common bacteria associated with chronic osteomyelitis is Staphylococcus aureus.
