Successful network-based drug development strategies are shown through the examples of infections, cancer, metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and aging.
Do we have very many examples of infection-induced speciation through the imposition of reproductive barriers or other means?
Previous documented examples of infections in humans by canine-like rotavirus strains have been associated with either asymptomatic (strains HCR3A and HCR3B) or symptomatic (strain Ro1845) clinical forms of disease (4, 5, 12 ).
This review examines recent examples of infections reported from adoptees and refugees entering the USA through 2010, highlighting the most common origin countries and the diseases most frequently involved, including Chagas disease, Balamuthia amebic meningoencephalitis, giardiasis, microsporidiosis, hepatitis, measles, pertussis, tuberculosis, malaria, intestinal helminths, and syphilis.
Keeping with the example of infection in hip replacement, the next step is to identify all reasonable strategies that might prevent this type of infection.
After this early example of infection control through antisepsis, the next step was inevitable: when chemicals with antibacterial activity were discovered, they were soon used in the treatment of infected patients.
As an example for the former, the original item that asked whether patients had experienced an infection during hospital stay was revised to include examples of common infections (urinary tract infection, wound infection, etc).
Molecular diagnostics can help diagnose the subtypefor example of infections and cancersor the genetic analysis of a disease with an inherited component, such as Silver-Russell syndrome.
The frequency of tuberculosis is one example of infections that may potentially contribute to higher rates of inflammatory activity in our HIV/AIDS patients, and thus to higher rates of tryptophan degradation.
