Ambient ozone and bacterium Streptococcus: A link between cellulitis and pharyngitis

International Journal of Occupational Medicine and Environmental Health, 2015
Objectives: Ambient air pollution, as many publications indicate, may have associations with skin condition. The aim of this study has been to examine such common relations for cellulitis and pharyngitis. The hypothesis is that ambient ground-level ozone

Factors influencing physicians’ antimicrobial prescribing decisions: A systematic review of qualitative studies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 91, Issue 5, Page 1330-1351, May 2025.
Inappropriate and overuse of antimicrobials is increasing antimicrobial resistance. Understanding physicians' antimicrobial decision‐making is essential for developing interventions to optimize prescribing. The aim of this review was to identify the factors that influence physicians' antimicrobial prescribing decisions.

Need for a clinical decision rule for the management of pharyngitis in Nigeria.

Nigerian Journal of Paediatrics
Pharyngitis is a common reason for presentation in the hospital by children. Although viral aetiology is the commonest, Group A Streptococcus is the most important cause of and reason for antibiotic treatment of pharyngitis.

Assessing the Diagnostic Accuracy and Validity of the Mcisaac Modified Centor Score in Predicting Group A Beta Hemolytic Streptococcal Pharyngitis in A Trial to End Antibiotic Abuse in Children

SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Overuse of antibiotics leads to resistance. Pharyngitis is commonly viral but Group A Streptococcus (GAS) as a significant bacterial cause. GAS infections include suppurative and non-suppurative. Centor criteria assess GAS infection.

Macrolide- and Telithromycin-resistant Streptococcus pyogenes, Belgium, 1999–2003

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We found a 13% macrolide resistance in 3,866 Streptococcus pyogenes isolated from tonsillopharyngitis patients; 59% macrolide-resistant isolates were distributed in 5 clones, suggesting the importance of both resistance gene transfer and clonal ...

Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review

Global Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2025.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

Streptococcus pyogenes pharyngitis elicits diverse antibody responses to key vaccine antigens influenced by the imprint of past infections

Nature Communications
Knowledge gaps regarding human immunity to Streptococcus pyogenes have impeded vaccine development. To address these gaps and evaluate vaccine candidates, we established a human challenge model of S. pyogenes pharyngitis.

The sore throat: a clinical approach to tonsillopharyngitis

South African Family Practice, 2019
Acute sore throat is a common complaint encountered by medical practitioners and health care workers routinely. The disease is mostly caused by viral infections of the upper respiratory tract and is usually self-limiting. Symptoms rarely exceed two weeks,

Physical modelling of the airflow-walls interactions to understand the sleep apnea syndrome [PDF]

Lecture notes in computer science (LNCS) 2673 (2003) 261-269, 2006
Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is defined as a partial or total closure of the patient upper airways during sleep. The term "collapsus" (or collapse) is used to describe this closure. From a fluid mechanical point of view, this collapse can be understood as a spectacular example of fluid-walls interaction.
