Abstract

According to the data of different authors, despite of evident progress in inguinal herniology, percentage of relapses in non-specialized clinics of general surgery stays rather high (5-15%). In Georgia as well as in other CIS countries 10-15 years ago majority of inguinal hernias were operated by method of Jirair-Spasokukocki using Kimbarovsky sutures. All above mentioned, of course, had an influence on treatment's results, and recurrence rate achieved in 20-45% cases. Since 90-ies method of Shouldice gained ground in Georgia, and already in two years the classical multi-row mode has been modified into the double-row. Also changes underwent the operation technique by Postempsky. Georgian surgeons also worked out several modifications of Bassini, Shouldice methods which are worth to notice. After the second half of 90-ies operation by Lichtenstein has been implemented into the surgical practice. Operations of Nyhus, Stoppa, "Plug and Putch" and PHS-system, and also laparoscopic hernioplasty are gaining popularity noticeably slower. But results of such operations are very promising.

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.

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.
