Studies on Avian Viral Infections in Iran

Enteric viral infections as potential risk factors for intussusception.

INTRODUCTION We aimed to identify potential risk factors for intussusception (ISS) among children presenting to two pediatric hospitals in Egypt. METHODOLOGY In this case-control study,  enrolled children < 3 years old with ISS (confirmed radiologically and/or surgically) were  matched by age and gender to controls admitted with acute non-abdominal surgical illnesses. Stool samples were colle...

Microbes Facilitate Mineral Deposition in Bioelectrochemical Systems

Hydrothermal chimneys are striking, characteristic features of marine hydrothermal vents. These chimneys are dynamic environments occupied by a diversity of microbes whose distribution is typically concordant with mineralogy and temperature. Recent studies indicate that these chimney assemblages are conductive and present the possibility that microbial extracellular electron transfer may occur ...

Pioneers in Enteric Infections.

John Snow Street pump did not conclusively prove its danger, his studies of the pattern of the disease were convincing enough to persuade the local council to disable the well pump by removing its handle. Researchers later discovered that this public well had been dug only three feet from an old cesspit, which had begun to leak fecal bacteria. The nappies of a baby, who had contracted cholera f...
