The inner workings of the immune system are quite complex. Each component works diligently in order to protect us from invaders such as pathogens: viruses, microbes, and fungi. Unfortunately, the immune system may become dysfunctional, which can result in secondary immunodeficiency diseases. The treatments available for these disorders and diseases of the immune system do not typically serve to cure, and much too often the side effects associated can exacerbate the conditions. As an alternative, the area of immunotherapy seeks to remedy the limitations of today’s medicine. Through this review, insight into the current conventional treatments available for select secondary immunodeficiency diseases will be provided, particularly in Human Immunodeficiency Virus disease and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) has been considered as a major health problem worldwide given the high incidence of the infection, estimated to be 131 million new cases annually. The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of CT infection in female sex workers (FSWs) living in Isfahan, Iran and risks associated with its prevalence. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, which was conducted on 99 FSWs recruited from two drop-in centers (DIC) in Isfahan during 2012-2014. The attendees were recruited consecutively. Vaginal, rectal, saliva and urine samples were tested for CT using Real-time PCR. The demographic data were gathered by face to face interview. Results: Prevalence of Chlamydia infection was 20.2% (20/99). The number of people who had more than one sexual partner in the CT-positive group was significantly higher than CT-negative (P= 0.042). The percentage of women whose duration of intimate relationship lasted more than three years was higher in the Chlamydia-positive population compared to Chlamydia-negative (70% vs 35.4%, p=0.005). Furthermore, Chlamydia-negative and Chlamydia-positive FSWs differed from one another in the history of imprisonment (11.4 % in Chlamydia-negative vs 35% in Chlamydia-positive group, p=0.017). Conclusion: The prevalence of CT infection was high among FSWs. Our findings showed that prison experience, the number of sexual partners and duration of intimate relationship were statistically significant among those affected by chlamydia infection.
背景:沙眼衣原体(CT)已被认为是世界范围内的一个主要健康问题,因为其感染的高发病率,估计每年有1.31亿新病例。本研究的目的是确定生活在伊朗伊斯法罕的女性性工作者(fsw)中CT感染的流行情况及其流行相关的风险。方法:这是一项横断面研究,对2012-2014年从伊斯法罕两个收容中心(DIC)招募的99名FSWs进行了研究。与会者是连续招募的。采用Real-time PCR对阴道、直肠、唾液和尿液样本进行CT检测。人口统计数据采用面对面访谈的方式收集。结果:衣原体感染率为20.2%(20/99)。在ct阳性组中,有一个性伴侣以上的人数明显高于ct阴性组(P= 0.042)。衣原体阳性人群中亲密关系持续时间超过3年的女性比例高于衣原体阴性人群(70% vs 35.4%, p=0.005)。此外,衣原体阴性和衣原体阳性的FSWs在监禁史上存在差异(衣原体阴性组11.4% vs衣原体阳性组35%,p=0.017)。结论:FSWs患者CT感染率较高。我们的研究结果表明,监狱经历、性伴侣数量和亲密关系持续时间在衣原体感染人群中具有统计学意义。

In demographics, an intercensal estimate is an estimate of population between official census dates with both census counts being known. Some nations produce regular intercensal estimates while others do not. Intercensal estimates can be less or more informative than official census figures, depending on methodology, completeness, accuracy (as they can have significant undercounts or overestimates) and date of data, and can be released by nations, subnational entities, or other organizations including those not affiliated with governments. Being able to forecast population and even being able to answer some interesting questions about population in the past, depends on developing accurate mathematical models of population growth. Analysis and projection of population are based on population figure as it informs an objective distribution of social amenities by government. Hence, knowledge about past, current and future population are fundamental in every aspect of decision making. In view of this, current projection of this population figures is of great necessity. Ofori et al. [1] applied exponential and logistic growth models to model the population growth of Ghana using data from 1960 to 2011. Dean Hathout [2] modelled population growth using exponential and hyperbolic models. Oyamakin et.al [3,4] compare exponential and hyperbolic growth models in height and diameter increment of Pine (Pinus caribaea).The aim of this study is to investigate the property of Exponential Growth Model (EGM) and Hyperbolic Exponential Growth Model (HEGM) in modeling Nigeria population data and to determine the intercensal estimate, and compare the predictive performance of the two models.
