35 Citations | Our study supports the concept that gonorrhea in children over 4 years old is almost always associated with sexual contact. |
72 Citations | It seems probable that persistence of gonorrhea in the female depends upon the adherence of gonococci to stratified epithelium, where they are protected from phagocytosis, and the infectivity of gonorrhea arises from the ability of gonococci to divide rapidly on the surface of exfoliated squames, from where they are released into secretions. |
20 Citations | The present study documented a rapid decrease of endemic gonorrhea in Finland, whereas the rate of imported gonorrhea remained constant. |

What's the effect of cannabis on lungs?5 answersCannabis smoke contains many compounds that are carcinogenic and can alter the respiratory epithelium. Chronic cannabis smoking has been associated with aggravated chronic bronchitis symptoms, increased risk of bullous emphysema, and pneumothorax. It can also lead to a negative impact on lung function, including damage to the airways and a drop in FEV1. Cannabis smoking is common among young patients with lung cancer, potentially leading to a different lung cancer profile. However, the effects of cannabis smoke on lung health remain controversial due to the co-consumption of tobacco. The acute inhalation of cannabis smoke modulates the pulmonary immune response, with different effects based on the THC:CBD ratio. More research is needed to understand the impact of cannabis inhalation on the pulmonary immune system and the potential consequences on lung health.
What is the clinical presentation of gonorrhea?5 answersGonorrhea can present with various clinical manifestations. Unusual presentations of gonorrhea have been reported, including primary infection of the penile skin and gonorrhea-induced infection of accessory genital glands. In addition to the typical genitourinary symptoms, disseminated gonorrhea can also occur, with polyarticular involvement and rare cases of acute vertebral discitis/osteomyelitis. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the causative agent of gonorrhea, has evidence of tissue-specific host interactions and diverse extragenital manifestations of infection. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to significant morbidity, including hematogenous dissemination, pelvic inflammatory disease, and female infertility. The clinical presentation of gonorrhea can vary, and a high index of suspicion is necessary to make the diagnosis in light of atypical signs or symptoms.
