RABIES Abstract: Each year‚ approximately 55‚000 individuals worldwide die from an infection due to the rabies virus. Rabies is a life-threatening disease caused by an RNA virus that is usually transmitted to humans through bites from rabid animals. More recently‚ reports of transmission by means of organ transplantation have been reported. Since human rabies is nearly 100% fatal if prophylactic measures are not followed‚ an increased awareness of who should receive prophylaxis and

MODULE TWO M2L1 Slide 1 The process that generates all of our blood cells is called hematopoesis. This multistep process takes place mostly in the bone marrow. Hematopoiesis actually starts in embryonic development at a different site called the yolk sac‚ but at this early stage‚ only a few types of cells are generated. The process moves to other places‚ such as the fetal liver‚ but at birth‚ most hematopoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. At any given time‚ there is a hierarchy of cells in

The Circadian clock generates physiological and behavioral rhythms with a period roughly 24 hours. It is thought that Circadian dysfunctions underlie the pathogenesis of many psychiatric disorders such as mania-like behavior and bipolar disorder (McClung‚ 2013). Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most widespread psychiatric disorders in humans. Somewhere between 3 and 5% of the population is affected by ADHD (Geissler and Lesch‚ 2011). The ADHD phenotype is characterized

[54]. They include the activation of CD8+ T lymphocytes‚ implicated in host defense against intracellular pathogens via cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL)‚ and CD4+ T lymphocytes‚ which secrete cytokines and play a role in B cell production of specific antibodies (Figure 1). Despite its potential impact on protective immunity‚ however‚ DNA vaccination is not always successful. Protective immunity depends mostly on the immunogenicity of a pathogen’s antigen‚ but other factors such as the frequency and route
