In medical practice, X-ray is mainly used as a diagnostic test and a type of radiation therapy for cancer and other diseases. However, the X-rays seem no use in the prevention of diseases. Since X-rays can alter gene expression patterns in host cells, it might have capacity to protect people from all viral infections based on our antiviral theory. We assume that X-ray irradiation on the upper respiratory tract could protect normal people from respiratory viral infections. If a low-dose X-ray irr...

Drug resistance in pathogens including cancer cells, bacteria, protozoa, fungi and viruses remains the major global health challenge. To deal with drug resistance in pathogens, an understanding of drug resistance development is of great importance. Recently, we published a hypothesis that drug resistance in malaria parasites could be determined by the altered 3D genome architecture which regulates many normal genes in malaria parasites to form a “specific antidrug group of protein combinations” ...

The occurrence of acute hemolysis in a patient with stable hemoglobinosis can be of corpuscular or extra-corpuscular origin. We report the case of a patient with sickle cell disease SS stable for twenty years, who is treated with levofloxacin for sepsis with a urinary starting point. Biology: hyperleukocytosis at 33,570/mm3 made up of 90% neutrophils and CRP at 160 mg/l, hemolytic, mechanical, nonthrombocytic microcytic anemia (Hb at 8.3 g/dl, VGM at 70 μm3, haptoglobulin collapsed ...

The formula for the natural frequency of torsional vibrations of the DNA helix is obtained by methods of mathematical physics. The data on the dependence of E. coli survival on the time of exposure to centimeter waves were analyzed, the numerical coefficient in the resulting formula was determined. According to this formula, the resonant frequency for the DNA of another strain of E. coli was found. When irradiated with centimeter waves of this frequency, a significant decrease in t...

Background: An accurate assessment of the spasticity in the spastic forms of cerebral palsy (CP) is important to establish the effectiveness of therapeutic management. The modified Ashworth scale (MAS) is the most frequently used method in the assessment of spasticity in clinical practice. However, this method does not allow an objective, precise and reliable assessment because of the lack of standardization and the low level of reliability. Elastosonography (ES) is an imaging method that assess...

In dentistry, herbal medicine naturally falls within the professional capacity of stomatologists or dental surgeons and can be particularly useful. The use of medicinal plants, for preventive, therapeutic purposes or for oral hygiene, falls within the professional capacity of doctors-stomatologists and dental surgeons. But they have to be competent in the matter, especially since no plant is harmless. After regulatory information, for documentary purposes, some examples of use are reported and, ...

The article theoretically and experimentally substantiates a new method in the free-radical theory of aging, where the target is not the free radicals but the DNA molecules; while radioprotectors are used as antioxidants, previously used to protect the body from radiation damage. A brief overview of various strategies and methods in gerontology is provided. In the quasicrystalline model of DNA, the role of impurity levels is considered. The electronic spectra of DNA bases were calculated by the ...

Vertigo is a condition when a patient feels that the objects around him are moving, and this condition can lead to falls and serious incidences. Vertigo has various etiologies including central, peripheral, psychogenic, and medication-induced vertigo. The most common cause is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) then Meniere’s disease and labyrinthitis should be in the differential diagnosis. Ruling out serious conditions such as stroke is important. Various treatment options are used for...

Wounds are skin lesions that manifest as an opening in the skin, and constitute a medical, social and economic problem for African populations. In particular, the relatively high cost of wound care makes the use of this treatment even more inaccessible to most, if not all, of the African population. The overall objective of the research is to determine the therapeutic effects that medicinal plants from the Northern zone of Cameroon may have on wound healing. The prospective study consisted of a ...

The effect of centimeter waves of non-thermal level on four types of bacteria has been studied. On E. coli strains, a sharp increase in survival during the first cycle of cell division was obtained. The mechanism of inhibition of pathogenic bacteria by a weak electromagnetic field is explained. The mechanism of stimulating the survival of bacteria associated with the activation of genes that reduces the number of dying bacteria is explained. The general form of the modified Ferhulst equat...
