An integrated computational approach to infer therapeutic targets from and peptidomimetic based inhibition of its pyrimidine metabolism pathway.

is a commensal of the human oral flora that has been allied with persistent diarrhea and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In children under the age of two, Campylobacter infections are common in the developing countries and have frequently been associated with mortality. They are becoming a prevalent cause of bacterial diarrhea in early adulthood in developed countries as well.

EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF NEUTROPHIL-LYMPHOCYTE RATIO ON OUTCOME PREDICTION OF SEVERELY-ILL PATIENTS WITH COVID-19.

Objective: The aim: The study conducted to have a better understanding on the role of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in the determination of the prognosis of COVID-19 and to assist in predicting disease severity.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: A total of 96 patients within age group 18-80 years who were verified positive for the COVID-19 by PCR, and admitted to (Al-Sader Medical City) in Al-Najaf City between (July to October 2020) were enrolled in a cohort retrospective study, Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio was calculated via taking the absolute neutrophil count divided by the absolute lymphocyte count. Other parameters like (renal function tests, D-dimer, C-reactive protein, serum ferritin) also has been studied in relation to outcome of patients with COVID-19.

High sputum total adiponectin is associated with low odds for asthma.

Objective: Adipose tissue produces adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory protein. High systemic total adiponectin is associated with a low risk for incident asthma but the association with lung adiponectin is not known. Our objective was to evaluate the association between sputum total adiponectin and asthma.
