the predictive value of the postcoital test for auto and isoimmunity to spermatozoa der vorhersagbare wert des post coital tests bei auto und iso immunitat gegen spermatozoen
Andrologia, 2009Co-Authors: E. Pretorius, Daniel R FrankenAbstract:Summary: Twenty eight infertile couples with sperm antibodies were used in the study. The Immunologic Factors in the husbands and wives were compared with the results of the post coital test. The results of the study showed that the post coital test had a predictive value of 75% for male auto-immunity to sperm while only 37% of the females with sperm antibodies had a poor post coital test. It was concluded that the post-coital test is an important screening predictor of auto-immunity to spermatozoa. Zusammenfassung: Bei 28 unfruchtbaren Paaren wurden die Spermaantikorper bestimmt. Die immunologischen Faktoren bei den Ehemannern und ihren Frauen wurden mit den Resultaten des Postcoitaltests verglichen. Daraus ergab sich, das der Postcoitaltest einen vorhersagbaren Wert von 75% fur die Autoimmunitat der Spermatozoen bei den Mannern besitzt, wahrend lediglich 37% der Frauen mit Spermaantikorpern einen schlechten Pistcoitaltest haben. Es wird die Schlusfolgerung gezogen, das der Postcoi-taltest ein wichtiger Screening-Prophet der Autoimmunitat gegen Spermatozoen ist.

association of race and risk of graft loss among kidney transplant recipients in the us military health system
Clinical Journal of The American Society of Nephrology, 2020Co-Authors: Crystal J Forman, Christina M Yuan, Rahul M Jindal, Lawrence Y Agodoa, Kevin C Abbott, Robert NeeAbstract:Racial disparities in kidney transplant outcomes are well documented and are attributed to biologic differences ( e.g. , gene variants in APOL1), Immunologic Factors, and other barriers, including lower socioeconomic status (SES), nonadherence to immunosuppressive medications, reduced access to care

detection of bacteria in middle ear effusions based on the presence of allergy does allergy augment bacterial infection in the middle ear
Journal of Otolaryngology-head & Neck Surgery, 2015Co-Authors: Woo Jin Kim, Byung Guk Kim, Kihong ChangAbstract:Bacterial infection, Eustachian tube dysfunction, allergies, and Immunologic Factors are major causes of otitis media with effusion (OME). However, the exact pathogenesis of OME is still unclear. This study evaluated whether allergy influences bacterial growth in middle ear effusions. Fifty-four samples were obtained from OME patients 3–10 years of age who underwent ventilation tube insertion and were divided into two groups based on the presence of allergy as determined using the multiple allergosorbent test (MAST). Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis bacterial DNA in the middle ear effusions was analyzed using polymerase chain reaction. Overall detection rates and those for each species were compared between the two groups. Of the 54 middle ear effusion samples, 38 (70.4 %) contained bacterial DNA and 14 (36.8 %) of these contained DNA from multiple species. S. pneumoniae was detected in 27 samples (50 %), H. influenzae in 17 samples (31.4 %), and M. catarrhalis in 9 samples (16.6 %). There was no significant difference in the bacterial detection rates between the middle ear effusions of the MAST-positive and MAST-negative groups. The rate of bacteria detection in middle ear effusions did not differ between allergic and non-allergic children.

Immunologic Factors in Human Milk and Disease Prevention in the Preterm Infant
Current Pediatrics Reports, 2013Co-Authors: Katherine E. Gregory, W. Allan WalkerAbstract:Exposure to the Immunologic Factors found in maternal breast milk has been shown to compensate for the immature immune system that characterizes the preterm infant. Feeding preterm infants with human milk not only provides protection from disease pathogenesis and ensures an optimal source of nutrients in the short term, but it also helps to ensure the development of a healthy immune response in the long term. Here, we review the Immunological significance and antiinflammatory effects of a selection of the bioactive molecules found in human milk and how they may differ under conditions of preterm birth. In addition, the role that human milk plays in the intestinal colonization of the preterm infant and why this is important to short- and long-term health outcomes are discussed.
