Avatar m tn Furthermore, a study by Hayes and coworkers showed that VDR-gene inactivation selectively in the T cells completely eradicated the ability of 1,25(OH)2D3 to inhibit EAE (Mayne et al., 2011). The biological relevance of low levels of VDR in development of MS was confirmed in a microarray analysis performed by Achiron et al. Here they compared blood mononuclear cells from healthy subjects that later developed MS with healthy subjects that remained MS-free.
Avatar f tn It is very different, for example, in cases of HIV where you are immune deficient and could use antiviral stimulation of your immune system. There is constant debate over whether or not viruses are causing autoimmune disease? Anyone ever consider that the sudden rise in autoimmune disease coincided with development of antiviral drugs? Sovereignty means that you cannot sue the FDA or manufacturer, but what if the marketer and manufacturer is in another country.
Avatar f tn The fetal heart undergoes a considerable amount of growth very early in pregnancy. The most critical period of its development is between three and seven weeks after fertilization, when a simple heart tube assumes the shape of a four-chambered heart. In fact, the heart actually begins beating by the 22nd day of life.
Avatar m tn A question to all of you, Does anyone of you with 'Patm' ever get sick? I 'never' get sick very rare to say at least! I'ts Almost like something in my body attacking others peoples immune system and making them sick that's what iv'e noticed. Any one ??
478228 tn?1215161484 If so, the interferon can suppress white blood cells and reduce the ability of the immune system to combat infection. This is often monitored by ‘absolute neutrophil count’, available in his Complete Blood Count (CBC test). If this is the case, medical intervention may be required. Preferably, an injectable drug called Neupogen is ordered to encourage production of white blood cells.
Avatar m tn Well I'm still going to take care of my immune system. I am eating healthier and going to work out more. I have bumps around my anus that I found three weeks ago that are not getting bigger or spreading, but I'm going to be using a gel that my doctor prescribed for me to get rid of the bumps. Hopefully I will be able to clear the virus quicker. Thanks for your advice, I have been feeling dirty for the last month thinking too much about the warts.
Avatar f tn Hi. I have a friend who has a weakend immune system due to medications from a transplant. She is now worried she contracted an STD from her boyfriend who cheated on her. She is not showing any symptoms although she still plans on getting tested. We were curious, however, if she is more likely than a person with a regular immune system to show symptoms or not?
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with hep c many years ago and went through the Interferon treatment, my numbers were over 4 million to start with and they had gotten down to around 27,000 at the time I had to stop. Know I have issues with my Immune system, can anybody tell me if that's is a bad sign or what.
Avatar f tn I look at my blood tests from 14 years ago, and there was a huge difference. I believe the state of your liver has more to do with how your immune system is performing, more than whether or not your have HVC. My WBC etc, while still above normal, were the lower end of normal prior to tx last year. Fourteen years ago they were well in the mid to high range. Neuts painted a similar picture also.
Avatar n tn I cant get a hold of her , said she will return my call. Anyone experience this? On top of that, I went to the dermatologist and I have shingles -__- on my back right side.
Avatar m tn The immune system makes all sorts of anti-bodies. It becomes a problem if the immune system starts producing anti-bodies that it is not supposed to. There are four or five different types of anti-thyroid anti-bodies. They are bad, because they attack your thyroid instead of cold viruses or infections. But most people have a few of them in low numbers. It becomes a problem when they are produced in high numbers. Auto-immune Diabetes is another example.
Avatar m tn In any sort of way, is it possible that a poor immune system can cause fainting throughout someone's life?
Avatar m tn How to increase the immune system of the body, some one's told me the best way to fight hepa B is to make immune system stronger. I am new member here and I am positive hepa b carrier.
Avatar n tn I hope you are having better luck with the med then i am. I have heard mixed things about it so who knows. For you immune system take Zinc pill but dont exceed more then 90 mgs and take a multi vitamin. Go to you local nutrition store and ask them they are really helpful.... i.e.
Avatar m tn There is no such thing as delayed positive test results because of immune compromise. The only possible exception is profound immune compromise of the sort associated with terminal cancer and other immediately life threatening conditions, or treatment with potent chemotherapy or high doses of other powerful immune suppressing drugs. Even these conditions are mostly theoretical, with few if any actual cases in which there was real interference with HIV testing.
1262322 tn?1287412786 I am not aware of any immune system difficulties associated with Asperger’s – I would direct this question to your primary care physician.
Avatar n tn Am on faldaprevir, ribavirin, BI 207127, am I more likely to pick up colds and other illnesses than before treatment because of a lowered immune system? How can I protect myself against these things? Or am I less likely to catch things?
382218 tn?1341181487 Because many of the genes linked to MS are involved in regulating the immune system-- specifically, the development of T cells -- this boosts speculation that the disease is primarily an autoimmune disorder. It also gives researchers new targets for future treatment strategies. For the study, scientists compared DNA from nearly 10,000 people with MS with DNA from more than 17,000 unrelated, healthy individuals.
Avatar m tn The effect of the drugs that you are taking is more profound on the cellular side of the immune system than the antibody producing side. Furthermore, while these drugs are immunosuppressive, they are not profoundly immunosuppressive. They might make the clinical presentations of herpes more obvious but they would be unlikely to hamper the development of a positive antibody test. If you have not had an outbreak, my advice would be to believe the tests.
Avatar m tn romark has started development of thiazolides also for Herpes simplex virus and Respiratory syncitial virus besides hcv, hbv, flu viruses. they are probably improving the chemical structure as an antiviral instead antibacteria/antiparassites/antiviral as normal alinia, to get to the higher more potent doses without sides nitazoxanide was also found active on in vitro cancer cell growth in some part of the stomach, don t remember if colon, Helicobacter pylori, tuberculosis.
Avatar n tn The brain contains pockets or spaces called ventricles with a spongy layer of cells and blood vessels called the choroid plexus. This is in the middle of the fetal brain. The choroid plexus has the important function of producing a fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. The fluid produced by the cells of the choroid plexus fills the ventricles and then flows around the brain and the spinal cord to provide a cushion of fluid around these structures.
390524 tn?1239549065 An Rh-negative mother will develop antibodies against Rh-positive blood cells (become sensitized) only if fetal blood crosses the placenta and enters her bloodstream. Her immune system then "sees" these cells, identifies them as foreign, and mounts an immune response. The injection of Rh immunoglobulin blocks the mother's immune system from seeing the fetal cells, if they do happen to get into her bloodstream, so she will not become sensitized and make antibodies.
