(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 2007-11)The pneumococcus remains an extremely important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While the micro-organism has a number of significant virulence mechanisms, many recent studies have focused on pneumolysin, which ...
-
(Dove Medical Press, 2008)Unlike most other effector cells of the innate, as well as the adaptive immune systems, the neutrophil is a relatively undiscerning aggressor with scant regard for damage limitation. Although this highly combative, ...
-
(Springer, 2008)Abundant preclinical and indirect clinical data have for several decades convincingly supported the notion that anti-angiogenesis is an effective strategy for the inhibition of tumor growth. The recent success achieved in ...
-
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2008-03)OBJECTIVE: The South African Thoracic Society, in conjunction with interested stakeholders, published a Guideline for Influenza Management in Adults in 1999. This year the South African Thoracic Society (SATS) identified ...
-
(Elsevier, 2008-11)BACKGROUND: Leeches are commonly used in reconstructive surgery for the treatment of venous congestion in flaps. Documented mechanisms of action are: 1) injection of the anticoagulant hirudin; 2) active suction of blood; ...
-
(Juta Law, 2009)Stem cell banking is a complex and controversial subject. There are currently three private stem cell banks in South Africa. At present, South Africa does not have a public stem cell bank. The de facto legal vacuum in which ...
-
(Federation of Infectious Diseases Societies of South Africa, 2009)In addition to their conventional antimicrobial activity, the macrolide group of antibiotics are known to have a number of anti-inflammatory/ immunomodulatory activities, which may be of benefit to patients with chronic ...
