Regardless of the pathogenesis of congenital and acquired cholesteatoma two questions seem to be fundamental: what is the origin of the keratinizing squamous epithelium, and what influences invasive and hyperproliferative behavior of the epidermis. The authors of this paper advance a hypothesis that the similar mechanism of the skin infection could exist in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis as well as in cholesteatoma. The retraction pocket leads to the loss of the defense mechanisms and development of planctonic bacteria. Direct and indirect signalings of bacterial products, such as endotoxin stimulate the cytokine cascade and therefore the hyperproliferation of the epithelium keratynocytes. The mobilization of the immunological system may an important role in the perimatrix development.

The complicated neurological syndrome known as multiple sclerosis (MS) is typified by demyelination, inflammation, and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system (CNS). Managing this crippling illness requires an understanding of the complex interactions between neurophysiological systems, diagnostic techniques, and therapeutic methods. A complex series of processes, including immunological dysregulation, inflammation, and neurodegeneration, are involved in the pathogenesis of MS.

Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers have been developed to compensate the needs of blood for transfusions. Most of them were based on intracellular hemoglobin extracted from bovine or human blood, but unfortunately, this type of hemoglobin did not pass through the last steps of clinical trials. In this context, HEMARINA discovered a natural extracellular hemoglobin, possessing several advantages avoiding intracellular hemoglobin-related side effects.

: The bite of the Loxosceles spider is a public health problem around the world, mainly in Latin America. The viscerocutaneous presentation is related to the inoculation of toxins (phospholipase-D) that generates a systemic inflammatory reaction with a subsequent increase in cytokines and chemokines. Hemoadsorption is proposed as a therapy that allows for the removal of the toxin and modulation of the inflammatory response in this disease.

The shaping of the human intestinal microbiota starts during the intrauterine period and continues through the subsequent stages of extrauterine life. The microbiota plays a significant role in the predisposition and development of immune diseases, as well as various inflammatory processes. Importantly, the proper colonization of the fetal digestive system is influenced by maternal microbiota, the method of pregnancy completion and the further formation of the microbiota.
