Strongyloides stercoralis infection complicating the central nervous system
(Elsevier, 2013)
Strongyloides stercoralis is a nematode that infects between 30 and 100 million people worldwide (Bethony et al., 2006; Abrescia et al., 2009; Olsen et al., 2009; Croker et al., 2010; Weller and Nutman, 2012) and is ...
Immune mediators of pathology in neurobrucellosis: from blood to central nervous system
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Neurobrucellosis, which is the most morbid form of brucellosis disease, presents with inflammatory signs and symptoms. Recent experimental evidence clearly indicates that deregulation of astrocytes and microglia caused by ...
Neurological manifestations of human leishmaniasis
(Elsevier, 2013)
Leishmaniasis is a spectral disease, caused by obligate intracellular protozoa of the species Leishmania. There are multiple reported instances where neurological manifestations, whether central or peripheral, are described. ...
Localization of cholecystokinin-like immunoreactivity in the central nervous system of Triatoma infestans (Insecta: Heteroptera)
(Churchill Livingstone, 2008-02)
The distribution of cholecystokinin-like immunoreactivity was studied in the central nervous system of the heteropteran insect Triatoma infestans using high-sensitivity immunocytochemistry. In the protocerebrum, CCK-IR ...
Distribution and characterization of corazonin in the central nervous system of Triatoma infestans (Insecta: Heteroptera)
(Elsevier Science, 2011-03)
The distribution of corazonin in the central nervous system of the heteropteran insect Triatoma infestans was studied by immunohistochemistry. The presence of corazonin isoforms was investigated using MALDI-TOF mass ...
Parasitic Infections of the Nervous System.
(Thieme Gruppe, 2019)
Parasitic infections of the central nervous system are much more common than suspected, although most infections are asymptomatic. For example, parasites like the ubiquitous protozoa Toxoplasma gondii or the nematode larvae ...
Are Glial Cells Critical Participants in Brain Development, Function, and Disease?
(OMINCS, 2012-09)
Recently, an increasing number of studies have implicated a third element in plasticity; the perisynaptic glial cell. Originally glial cells were thought to be important for metabolic maintenance and support of Central The ...
Histone methylations in the developing central nervous system and in neural tube defects
(De Gruyter, 2018-05)
Understanding central nervous system genesis is of crucial relevance to decode different human diseases such as microcephaly or neural tube defects, which arise from incorrect developmental processes. Epigenetic mechanisms ...
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Impact on the Central Nervous System: Are Astrocytes and Microglia Main Players or Merely Bystanders?
(SAGE Publications, 2020-09)
With confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases surpassing the 18 million mark around the globe, there is an imperative need to gain comprehensive understanding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...
Progesterone for the treatment of central nervous system disorders: the many signaling roads for a single molecule
(Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2020-04)
Central nervous system (CNS) injuries and neurodegenerative diseases show a broad spectrum of common pathophysiological processes, including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, demyelination and neurotransmission ...
