Abstract

The anti-epidemic compaign in Poland was in the hands of Chief Epidemic Commissariat. The Commissariat was organized on July of 1920y. as a special institution to fight against the acute infectious diseases. In the end of 1920y. it had 188 hospitals with 9,245 beds, with a reserve of 1,185 beds in the Red Cross, military hospitals and so on, it had a total of 12,915 beds. The tables of number 1 and 2 presented the number of the hospitals in Polish department, number of the beds, number of the patients and number of the hospital-days, number of the cases of the typhus, typhoid fever, relapsing fever, dysentery and the other diseases in the first half of 1920y. and in the second half of 1921y. As you see there were the most patients with the typhus. In 1922y. Epidemic Commissariat ordered of 116 hospitals with 10,785 beds. The table of the number 3 presented the number of the cases, deaths and the mortality of the typhus, relapsing fever, typhoid fever, dysentery, variola vera, cholera and the other diseases. In 1923y. Epidemic Commissariat had 112 hospitals with 11,000 beds. The table of number 4 confronted the number of the hospitals, number of the beds and its use in the hospitals ordered or inspected by Commissariat in 1922y....Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
