Eichestedt first connected Malassezia with skin diseases in 1846, since then the debate regarding the name and the pathogenic potential of the yeast has continued. The expansion of the genus in 1996 to include seven spec...
Interleukin 18 (IL-18) was first described in 1989 as interferon γ (IFN-γ) inducing factor. It is a novel cytokine of the IL-1 family. IL-18 is an 18-kDa glycoprotein derived by cleavage of a 23-kDa precursor, pro-IL-18,...
Bisphosphonates are a group of drugs that have a significant effect on bone structure, preventing normal bone remodeling. They can be administered orally or intravenously, and are of great importance for the treatment of...
Treatment provision for opioid dependence constitutes a priority for any healthcare system, as it not only offers patients short-term management and medium to long-term recovery from dependence, but at the same time cont...
Measures of association are the object of epidemiologic studies and are used to quantify the relation between the determinant under study and the outcome, while statistical significance tests are used to identify statist...
