viruses in periodontal disease
Viruses may play a role in periodontal disease beyond just bacteria. The document discusses several viruses that have been found in periodontal tissues and fluid, including herpes viruses, HIV, HPV, and cytomegalovirus. These viruses can directly damage tissues, induce an inflammatory response, or suppress the immune system in ways that allow pathogenic bacteria to overgrow and cause periodontal disease. While bacteria remain a primary cause, evidence suggests certain viruses may activate from a latent state and contribute to the progression of gingivitis into destructive periodontitis.
Microbial interactions with the host in periodontal disease
This document summarizes the microbial and host interactions that determine the progression of periodontal diseases. It discusses how bacteria colonize surfaces in the oral cavity and invade host tissues. Virulence factors like adhesins, proteases and toxins enable pathogenic bacteria to cause direct tissue damage or stimulate the host immune response. The host response is mediated by innate immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages, as well as cytokines and proteinases that can contribute to periodontal tissue destruction. Certain bacterial pathogens are also able to evade or suppress the host immune response to enhance their survival in the periodontal environment.
111periodontal
This document summarizes periodontal diseases as bacterial infections. It discusses how certain bacteria in dental plaque, such as Porphyromonas gingivalis, are essential causes of the disease. However, the severity and progression depends on an interplay between the bacteria, a susceptible host, and environmental factors. Periodontal diseases range from gingivitis, limited to gums, to periodontitis, which spreads deeper and can lead to bone loss and tooth loss over time.
ROLE OF VIRUSES IN PERIODONTAL DISEASES
This document discusses the role of viruses in periodontal diseases. It begins by introducing viruses and their structure. It then discusses several important virus families and examples of viruses that can cause oral infections, including herpesviruses like HSV-1, EBV, CMV; papillomaviruses; and picornaviruses. The document reviews the prevalence of herpesviruses detected in samples from patients with gingivitis, aggressive periodontitis, chronic periodontitis, and provides theories on how viruses like CMV may contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases like localized juvenile periodontitis.
Seminar sunil
Protozoan parasites cause diseases like malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis. Both the innate and adaptive immune systems play crucial roles in defending against protozoan infections. The innate immune system includes mechanisms like cytokines, complement proteins, macrophages, and neutrophils. The adaptive immune system involves antibody production and T cell responses. Protozoan parasites have evolved ways to evade or subvert the host immune response, such as antigenic variation and inhibiting immune cell function, enabling chronic or recurrent infections. An effective immune response against protozoa involves a balance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, T cell subsets, and effector cells and molecules.

1. The document discusses Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis. It is spread through the air and infects the lungs.
2. M. tuberculosis has an unusual waxy coating that makes it difficult to stain and allows it to survive outside of the body for weeks. It divides slowly compared to other bacteria.
3. When it infects lungs, M. tuberculosis is taken up by immune cells but is able to avoid being destroyed, allowing it to multiply unchecked inside the cells. Its unusual cell wall structure helps it evade the immune response and is a key virulence factor.
Infectious Dz Lecture #1
This document provides an overview of infectious diseases and the immune system. It discusses the innate and adaptive immune response, key components of innate immunity like soluble and cellular factors, and adaptive responses involving B cells and T cells. It also summarizes various clinical pathogens including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites; diagnostic approaches; antimicrobial mechanisms of action; and important antimicrobial drug classes.
Genetic polymorphism
Malaria is a major public health problem in tropical areas, infecting 300-500 million people annually and killing 1.5-2.7 million per year. Developing an effective vaccine against malaria is complicated by genetic polymorphism in candidate antigens, emergence of drug-resistant parasites, and insecticide resistance in mosquitos. Current research focuses on blood stage antigens and vaccines targeting liver stage parasites to induce T cell responses and prevent parasite development. While antigen diversity poses a challenge, understanding polymorphism can help design vaccines inducing immunity against variant parasite forms.
non specific host defenses
Non-specific host defenses provide three lines of protection against invading pathogens:
1. Anatomical barriers like the skin and mucous membranes form the first line of defense.
2. Innate immune responses like inflammation, fever, and phagocytosis from white blood cells are the second line of defense.
3. The third line of defense involves specific immune responses from antibodies and lymphocytes that target pathogens that breach the first two lines. Together, these non-specific defenses provide broad protection against microbes.
Immunity 1
The document discusses innate (native) immunity. It defines innate immunity as consisting of defenses against infection that are ready for immediate activation prior to attack by a pathogen, including physical, chemical, and cellular barriers. It provides the less specific first line of defense and includes factors like epithelial surfaces, antimicrobial substances in blood and tissues, microbial antagonism, and cellular factors like phagocytes, fever, and acute phase proteins. Pattern recognition receptors like Toll-like receptors also help the innate immune system recognize pathogens.
The mycobacterium avium complex and slowly growing mycobacterium
This document discusses various non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause disease in humans. It describes how NTM infections originate from environmental sources like water and soil. Common diseases include pulmonary infection, sinusitis, lymphadenitis in children, and bacteremia in immunocompromised individuals.

Lecture 1( Introduction to immunology).pptx
This document provides an introduction to immunology, outlining key concepts. It defines immunity, describes the functions of the immune system in preventing infection and maintaining homeostasis. It distinguishes between innate and acquired immunity, describing their unique characteristics. Key cells of the immune system are briefly discussed.
1 inflammation
Inflammation is the body's complex protective reaction to injury caused by various stimuli. It involves the destruction, dilution, or walling off of injurious agents. The mechanisms of inflammation include local alterations, exudation of fluid and cells, and proliferation of new tissue. Acute inflammation is characterized by classical symptoms of heat, redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function, as well as systemic responses like fever and increased white blood cell count. It involves vascular changes, cellular events like leukocyte migration, and outcomes like resolution, healing by scar tissue, or progression to chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is driven by lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages and involves distinctive patterns like granulomatous inflammation seen in tuberculosis.
Immune System
1. The document discusses microbiology and immunology and was presented by Dr. A. Baskara Boopathy from Caussanel College of Arts and Science.
2. It defines key immunology terms like antigen, pathogen, antibody, and immunoglobulin.
3. The immune system consists of immune cells, molecules, genes, and organs that work together to defend the body against pathogens. The primary lymphoid organs are the bone marrow and thymus, while secondary organs include the spleen, lymph nodes, and mucosal tissues.
Microbiology lec5
The document discusses Staphylococcus bacteria, including S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and S. saprophyticus. S. aureus is a major human pathogen that can cause a variety of infections from local skin lesions to serious systemic infections or toxin-mediated diseases like food poisoning or toxic shock syndrome. Virulence factors and antibiotic resistance patterns are described. The diagnosis and treatment of staphylococcal infections is also summarized.
1محاضرة اولى مناعة innate 1.pptx
Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense against pathogens. It includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, as well as cellular responses mediated by phagocytes, inflammation, and soluble factors. Innate immunity provides non-specific protection and has no memory or ability to improve upon repeated exposure. Its mechanisms recognize common molecular patterns on pathogens but cannot distinguish self from non-self.
Immune responsetoinfectiousdiseasesfinal[2]
The document summarizes the immune response to different infectious agents including viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites. It discusses both the innate and adaptive immune responses targeting each type of pathogen. It also describes mechanisms pathogens use to evade the host immune response, such as antigenic variation, inhibiting phagocytosis, and surface structures that prevent complement activation. Tissue damage during infection can be caused by either the pathogen itself or the host immune response.
Mechanism of bacterial pathogenesis and virulence
This document discusses bacterial virulence factors and mechanisms of pathogenesis. It defines key terms like pathogens, opportunistic pathogens, virulence, and colonization. It then describes several virulence factors like adhesins, pili, capsules, toxins, enzymes, and plasmids that allow bacteria to adhere to and invade host cells, evade the immune system, and cause damage. Methods of acquiring new virulence genes like plasmids, bacteriophages, and horizontal gene transfer are also summarized.
Morphology and physiology of viruses
Viruses are small obligate intracellular parasites that contain either RNA or DNA surrounded by a protective protein coat. They depend on host cells to replicate and cannot generate their own energy. Viruses deliver their genome into host cells to be expressed. They are classified based on attributes like nucleic acid type, size/morphology, enzymes, and transmission methods. Virus replication involves the virus injecting its genome into the host cell and hijacking the cell's machinery to produce new virus particles, which then exit and infect new host cells.
محاضرة اولى مناعة innate (1).pptx
This document discusses innate immunity. It defines innate immunity as resistance present at birth, which includes individual, racial, and species immunity. The mechanisms of innate immunity are anatomical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, physiological barriers such as stomach acid and lysozymes, phagocytosis by cells, and inflammatory responses. Factors like age, nutrition, and hormones can influence innate immunity. The document provides detailed explanations and examples of each type and mechanism of innate immunity.

531544159-19-Immunoparasitology-and-Fungal-Immunity-PPT.pptx
This document discusses immunity to parasitic and fungal infections. It begins by defining parasites and fungi, and outlines the immune response mechanisms against them. For parasites, it describes innate immune responses like phagocytosis and complement activation. The adaptive response involves TH1/TH2 cytokines and antibodies. Parasites evade immunity through mechanisms like antigenic variation and inhibiting immune factors. Fungal immunity involves phagocytosis and TH1/TH17 cell-mediated responses. Diagnosis of mycotic infections requires microscopy, culturing, and serological tests.
Immune response to infectious agents.pptx
This document provides an overview of immune responses to infectious agents. It begins by distinguishing innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity consists of nonspecific defenses like physical barriers and phagocytosis. Adaptive immunity is acquired through antigen exposure and leads to immunological memory. The document then covers specific innate immune cells and molecules like TLRs and the inflammatory response. It discusses adaptive immunity including B and T cells. Finally, it applies these concepts to examples of viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal infections.

This document discusses the components and functions of the neuronal cytoskeleton during axon regeneration. It describes three main types of cytoskeletal elements - microtubules, microfilaments, and neurofilaments. Microtubules help maintain neuronal shape and transport molecules via fast and slow axonal transport. Microfilaments are present beneath the axon membrane and involved in growth cone movement and synaptic vesicle release. Neurofilaments provide neuronal stability. The document also discusses the different types of glial cells - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells - and their roles in the development and maintenance of the central nervous system.

Systemic corticosteroids are synthetic derivatives of cortisol that can be taken orally or via injection. They are used to treat various autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Common side effects include increased risk of infection, skin thinning, acne, osteoporosis, diabetes, and psychiatric issues. Risks are higher with longer term or high dose use. Monitoring of blood pressure, weight, and blood sugar is recommended during treatment. Measures like calcium/vitamin D supplementation and bone density scans can help prevent side effects like osteoporosis. Some conditions like active tuberculosis or severe psychiatric disease are contraindications for steroid use due to risk of worsening.
Oncology section a
Carcinogenesis is the process by which normal cells are transformed into cancer cells due to mutations in DNA that disrupt the orderly processes regulating cell proliferation and death. This results in uncontrolled cell division. A series of mutations in proto-oncogenes that promote cell growth and tumor suppressor genes that discourage cell growth are required before a normal cell transforms into a cancer cell. The ras oncogene and p53 tumor suppressor gene are examples that are commonly mutated in cancer. Grading of cancers provides information on prognosis and treatment by assessing how differentiated the cancer cells are from normal cells.
Section b dermatology
The document discusses pemphigus vulgaris, an autoimmune blistering disease of the skin and mucous membranes. It is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against desmoglein 1 and 3, proteins involved in keratinocyte adhesion. The disease primarily involves the oral mucosa and causes flaccid blisters and painful erosions of the skin and mouth. Treatment involves potent topical or systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents.
