The Immunologic Relationship between Root Resorptions and Osteoclastic Activity - Literature Review

Current literature indicates the close relationship between root resorptions and the role of clasts responsible for hard tissue destruction. The process is complex and involves mechanical factors and intense biological activity. Immunological interactions stimulate the recruitment and migration of clasts into a specific area, in order to destroy bone, cementum and dentin. Nevertheless, understanding the whole process will bring light to other questions concerning the role of the immunologic system in other parts of the human body.

PCR-Based Method for Rapid and Minimized Electrochemical Detection of mecA Gene of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermis

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important pathogens that cause nosocomial infections. However, microbiological culture techniques take a few days to yield results; therefore, a simple, cost-effective, and rapid detection system is required for screening for MRSA and related bacteria: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) carriers during the hospital admissions process.

Sero-Prevalence of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Viruses among Tuberculosis Patients in Kassala, Eastern Sudan

Background: Hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV)virus infection is a major concern among tuberculous (TB) patients, thus early screening of these viruses will influence the outcome of the disease.
Methods: A cross-sectional hospital based study, conducted at Kassala teaching hospital, Eastern Sudan, between June and December 2014 to investigate the sero-prevalence of HBV and HCV among TB patients. Sera samples were collected from patients and tested for HBSAg and anti-HCV bodies using immunochromtogrophic test (ICT) and enzyme-link immunosorbantassay (ELISA).
