Apoptosis as a possible mechanism of infertility in Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cysts
(2007)
Echinococcus granulosus is a parasitic cestode causing hydatidosis in intermediate hosts (human and herbivorous). Most symptoms of the disease occur by the pressure exerted on viscera by cysts that are formed upon ingestion ...
Seizure in people with newly diagnosed active or transitional neurocysticercosis
(2011-03)
Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe seizure as a presenting symptom in individuals with recently
diagnosed neurocysticercosis (NCC).
Methods: Using logistic regression, we examined the probability of having ...
The association of living conditions and lifestyle factors with burden of cysts among neurocysticercosis patients in Ecuador
(2012-12-01)
We used baseline data on 154 symptomatic neurocysticercosis (NCC) patients in Ecuador to identify predictors of the burden of cysts. We ran logistic regression models with the burden of cysts as the outcome, defined as the ...
DNA damage, RAD9 and fertility/infertility of Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cysts
(WILEY-LISS, DIV JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2008-08)
Hydatidosis, caused by the larval stage of the platyhelminth parasite Echinococcus granulosus, affects human and animal health. Hydatid fertile cysts are formed in intermediate hosts (human and herbivores) producing ...
Proliferative cells in racemose neurocysticercosis have an active MAPK signalling pathway and respond to metformin treatment
(Elsevier, 2022)
Racemose neurocysticercosis is an aggressive infection caused by the aberrant expansion of the cyst form of Taenia solium within the subarachnoid spaces of the human brain and spinal cord, resulting in the displacement of ...
High Matrix Metalloproteinase Activity Is a Hallmark of Periapical Granulomas
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2009)
Introduction: The inability to distinguish periapical cysts from granulomas before performing root canal treatment leads to uncertainty in treatment outcomes because cysts have lower healing rates. Searching for differential ...
