Results: The results revealed that most of the respondents were well aware about dietary habits and were considering meat as good source of proteins, carbohydrates as well as cereals and breads. Fats and oils are rich in calories. The results depicted that s...

There were 23 cases of group A (Grade III), 8 of group B (Grade II) and only 3 cases of group C (Grade I). Age range comprised of patients from 20-80 years and the mean age of patients was 45.74 years. HE, ER, PR, HER2 and Ki-67 staining was performed as routine biomarkers. Samples were then processed for immunomarkers study of Substance P and NK-1R immunohistochemistry was performed for few cases.Results14/23 cases (61%) of group A, 7/8 cases (88%) of group B and 2/3 (67%) cases of group C were SP positive. Overall, strong staining (≥ 10% tumors cells), labeled as “3+”, was observed in 9/14 (64.2%) cases of group A and 1/8 (12.5%) case of group B. Moderate staining labelled as “2+” (in ≥ 10% tumor cell...

Infection sometimes caused associated degree of responses. If the reaction was swift and efficient, the infection would be eradicated or controlled before the illness develops. In most cases, infections led to sickness. Diseases occurred once Immunity is minimal or non-existent, once the microorganism's pathogenicity (its proclivity for wreaking havoc on host cells) is increased, and after the number of infections in the body has reached a critical level. betting on the communicable disease, symptoms vary greatly. The immune system is weakened by major immunological disease disorders, also known as primary immune diseases or primary immunological disorder, which makes infections and other health issues more likely. Fever and fatigue are common signs that the immune system isn't working properly, despite the fact that the symptoms of immune diseases vary. Immune deficits are usually detected by blo...
