General MicrobiologyAmoebic dysentery is not typically associated with a significant eosinophilic response. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that is often involved in allergic reactions and parasitic infections, but their presence is usually minimal in the context of amoebic infections. The inflammatory response in amoebic dysentery is mainly composed of neutrophils and macrophages.

In orthodontics, wires with a low load deflection rate are typically preferred for areas requiring large tooth movements because they provide a more constant force as the tooth moves and the appliance is deactivated. This constant force is beneficial for controlling the rate of tooth movement.
