Modelling the human immune response mechanisms to mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in the lungs by Gesham Magombedze, Winston Garira, Eddie Mwenje

“…In addressing this question, we have developed amodel that captures the effects of CTLs and the combined effects of CD4+helper T cells (Th1 and Th2) immune response mechanisms to TB infection.The occurrence of active or latent infection is shown to depend on a number offactors that include effector function and levels of CTLs. We use the model topredict disease progression scenarios, including primary, latency or clearance.Model analysis shows that occurrence of active disease is much attributedto the Mtb pathogen ability to persist outside the intracellular environmentand that high levels of CTLs result in latent TB, while low levels of CTLsresult in active TB. …”

المحاضرات الالکترونية کمصادر للمعلومات لدى طلاب المرحلة الجامعية الأولى بجامعة المنصورة : دراسة تحليلية وأنماط الافادة منها ومشکلات التفاعل... by د.عزت الشامي

“…Among the most prominent results of the study is that these lectures lack experimentation and evaluation before they are presented to students, and not enough budget has been provided to support them and work to improve and develop them, Also, communication with the subject teacher in the light of these lectures was not available from the original, nor did these lectures provide flexibility in time, nor were they linked to databases, and there was no student forum accompanying them, and that there are 85.5% of the total sample of the study believe that these lectures Electronic cannot replace traditional lectures in the future And that the positives of these lectures were mainly focused on the necessity in using them, as the study recommended the necessity of experimenting with electronic lectures and evaluating them before offering them to students, and the need to provide an adequate budget to support and work on improving and developing them, and the need for academic guidance, linking lectures to databases, and the need to create an e-learning platform In the Supreme Council of Universities, and remove all technical and technical barriers that hinder its use by first-year students…”

Predicting the risk of high-grade precancerous cervical lesions based on high-risk HPV typing in Changsha China by Yaling Xiao, Rangjiao Liu, Shaobo Wang, Yuxiang Wang, Weimin Miao, Meiwei Chen, Xiaowen Liu, Yan Chen, Yongchun Wen, Zhongping Deng, Lizhong Dai, Zenghui Mao, Jun He

“…Results (1) The overall prevalence of HPV infection was 17.89%, with the most prevalent types being HPV52 (4.44%), HPV58 (2.10%), HPV53 (1.96%), HPV81 (1.85%), HPV42 (1.75%), and HPV16 (1.44%). (2) The sensitivity and specificity of detecting high-grade lesions in TCT, colposcopy, and biopsy, based on high-risk HPV typing, demonstrated a strong linear correlation with the infection rate of each type. (3) HPV16 was confirmed to have a higher risk of CIN2 + in biopsies using a self-defined risk parameter. (4) The top five HPV types with the highest PPVs and pathogenicity risks in biopsies were HPV45, HPV16, HPV58, HPV33, and HPV18. …”
