Axonal swellings and spheroids: a new insight into the pathology of neurocysticercosis
(Wiley, 2018)
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic brain disease caused by the larval form (Cysticercus cellulosae) of the Taenia solium and is the leading cause of preventable epilepsy world-wide. However, the pathophysiology and relation ...
Chemometrics-assisted liquid chromatographic determination of quinolones in edible animal tissues
(Elsevier Science, 2020-11)
A chemometric technique applied to chromatographic-spectral data allowed the quantification of ten different quinolones in edible animal tissues such as chicken and bovine liver and bovine kidney. The employed strategy ...
Material properties of mandibular cortical bone in the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010-03-01)
This study reports the elastic material properties of cortical bone in the mandible of juvenile Alligator mississippiensis obtained by using an ultrasonic wave technique. The elastic modulus, the shear modulus, and Poisson's ...
Polycystic echinococcosis in Pacas, Amazon Region, Peru
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015)
In the Peruvian Amazon, paca meat is consumed by humans. To determine human risk for polycystic echinococcosis, we examined wild pacas from 2 villages; 15 (11.7%) of 128 were infected with Echinococcus vogeli tapeworms. ...
Mechanisms of liver fibrosis associated with experimental fasciola hepatica infection: Roles of Fas2 proteinase and hepatic stellate cell activation
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2011)
We have evaluated the possible mechanisms of liver fibrosis caused by Fasciola hepatica in an animal model and in culture using immortalized human stellate cells. Liver biopsies of F. hepatica-infected rats were performed ...
Mapping of neurotensin in the alpaca (Lama pacos) Brainstem
(Wiley, 2014)
We studied the distribution of cell bodies and fibres containing neurotensin (NT) in the brainstem of the alpaca using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Immunoreactive fibres were widely distributed throughout the ...
Novel rat model for neurocysticercosis using Taenia solium
(Elsevier, 2015)
Neurocysticercosis is caused by Taenia solium infecting the central nervous system and is the leading cause of acquired epilepsy and convulsive conditions worldwide. Research into the pathophysiology of the disease and ...
Acute and chronic elevation of erythropoietin in the brain improves exercise performance in mice without inducing erythropoiesis
(Wiley, 2012)
Application of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEpo) improves exercise capacity by stimulating red blood cell production that, in turn, enhances oxygen delivery and utilization. Apart from this, when applied at high ...
Letter in response to Del Brutto, axonal swelling and spheroids in Taenia solium neurocysticercosis
(Wiley, 2019)
We appreciate Dr. Del Brutto’s comments concerning our article entitled “Axonal swellings and spheroids: a new insight into the pathology of neurocysticercosis (NCC)” 5. Axonal swellings have only recently been described ...
Domestic Pig (Sus scrofa) as an Animal Model for Experimental Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016)
Pigs were infected with a Bolivian strain of Trypanosoma cruzi (genotype I) and evaluated up to 150 days postinoculation (dpi) to determine the use of pigs as an animal model of Chagas disease. Parasitemia was observed in ...
