However, individuals of all ages are susceptible to propagation of this microorganism under conditions of overcrowding, because the interpersonal dissemination of these bacteria occurs through aerosolized microdroplets and/or by direct contact, mainly in environments where there are clusters of people. Among the diseases that affect the upper airways, acute pharyngitis (AP) is one of the most frequent in children. Although most of the AP is of viral origin, Group a Streptococcus Beta-hemolytic (EBHGA) presents as a significant bacterial etiological agent diagnosed in about 15-30% of acute pharyngitis.3 EBHGA or Streptococcus pyogenic is grampositive aerobic bacteria that causes a variety of infectious syndromes4 and is considered of great clinical interest due to its high pathogen city, usually involving or pharynx and skin, as a consequence these bacteria may cause several inflammatory diseases. One of the main laboratorial characteristics this pathogen presents to be identified and classified is the ability to shatter completely red blood cells in 5% sheep blood culture, causing a transparency in the culture medium, which is called Beta-hemolytic.5 Streptococcus pyogenic is important when compared to groups B, C and G, not only because it is the main etiological agent of streptococcal pharyngitis,6 but also because it causes suppurate complications such as, cervical adenitis, peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal or cervical abscess.7 In addition, EBHGA is related to other diseases such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing fasciitis, scarlet fever and skin infections.8 According to Areas et al.9 its main complications are acute rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease and acute streptococcal disease, with a higher incidence especially in developing countries. Therefore, the early diagnosis of this condition, followed by adequate antimicrobial treatment, is extremely important not just for the prevention of rheumatic fever (RF) and other pathologies, but also for the reduction of EBHGA transmission among patients.3 Living in restricted settings, such as day care centers and schools, can greatly influence the dissemination of these bacteria, placing the health of children and adolescents at risk,10 considering that children and teenagers or pharynx is very sensitive to EBHGA infections, especially among 5 And 15years of age.11 Besides that, they can carry pathogenic microorganisms without presenting symptoms, characterizing the asymptomatic carriers. The epidemiological profile of this pathogen shows the relevance of it’s diagno","PeriodicalId":92215,"journal":{"name":"International clinical pathology journal","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43878267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based these studies and advocacy group the age of mammography has been reduced to 10 years for eastern origin women. Once the breast cancer has been diagnosed the next step is prognosis. Family history does play a different role in prognosis according to a contemporarily published study where an accumulated number of ER negative & PR negative breast cancer was acclaimed among younger Spanish women who have a family account of the disease [1]. The established/routinely used prognostic markers which are being used by some of the highly respected institutes are ER, PR, Her-2, p53, CD31, Ki-67/PCNA. Trastuzumab is being offered to Her-2 positive patients who will benefit with this monoclonal drug or in other words Her-2 is being performed on a selective group of patients.

Plant protection mainly aims to attain maximum yield by keeping the crops healthy and preventing the losses occurring from diseases and insect–pests. The successful and profitable fruit industry largely depends on the adoption of improved scientific agricultural technology. A principle of plant disease management broadly includes preventive measures and curative measures that cure the plants suffering from diseases. But none of the control methods when applied individually provide satisfactory and effective disease control. Hence, Integrated Disease Management (IDM) is the complete solution of all the disease problems. This chapter describes the role and application of plant pathology to horticulture in managing diseases of fruit crops. The intended scientific information will be beneficial to the students, scientists, researchers, planners and extension personnel for better understanding of various plant protection methods. This better understanding will lead to boost the world fruit industry for prosperity.","PeriodicalId":92215,"journal":{"name":"International clinical pathology journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45895858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
