Parasite antigen in serum predicts the presence of viable brain parasites in patients with apparently calcified cysticercosis only
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Computed tomography (CT) remains the standard neuroimaging screening exam for neurocysticercosis, and residual brain calcifications are the commonest finding. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more sensitive than CT but ...
Inflammatory mechanisms and oxidative stress as key factors responsible for progression of neurodegeneration: Role of brain innate immune system
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2016)
Infantile epileptic encephalopathy with hypsarrhythmia (infantile spasms/west syndrome) and immunity
(2008-06-01)
West syndrome is a severe epilepsy, occurring in infancy, that comprises epileptic seizures known as spasms, in clusters, and a unique EEG pattern, hypsarrhythmia, with psychomotor regression. Maturation of the brain is a ...

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 ...
Population Screening for Urine Antigens to Detect Asymptomatic Subarachnoid Neurocysticercosis: A Pilot Study in Northern Peru
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020)
Subarachnoid neurocysticercosis (SANCC) is a severe and progressive brain infection with Taenia solium. We performed a pilot study of noninvasive screening for SANCC in two endemic villages in northern Peru using a urine ...
Expression of Cancer/Testis Antigens is Correlated with Improved Survival in Glioblastoma
(Impact Journals Llc, 2013-04-01)
Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) confers a dismal prognosis despite advances in current therapy. Cancer-testis antigens (CTA) comprise families of tumor-associated antigens that are immunogenic in different cancers. The aim ...
Fibroblastic meningioma mimicking an intracerebral hemorrhage : case report
A 50-year-old woman presented to the emergency room complaining of severe headache. A non-contrasted head CT was obtained, which demonstrated a hyperdense image compatible with an intracerebral hemorrhage in the posterior ...
Specific macromolecular interactions between tau and the microtubule system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1992)
The microtubule-associated protein Tau, a major component of brain microtubules, shares common repeated C-terminal sequences with the high molecular-weight protein MAP-2. It has been shown that tau peptides V187-G204 and ...
