DETECTION OF CIRCULATING “AUTOANTIBODIES” IN EXPERIMENTAL SCHISTOSOMIASIS JAPONICA

Experimental cerebral schistosomiasis japonica in primates.

Aspects of the pathogenesis of cerebral schistosomiasis have been elucidated. Arterial embolization alone, by either worms or eggs, does not appear to be likely as a major cause of the disease. When large numbers of eggs enter the brain, sensitization may play a role in the occurrence of neurological signs. These studies support but do not prove the theory that worms in the cerebral veins lay e...

Autoimmunity in schistosomiasis japonica.

Rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum either bior monosexually, were clinico-pathologically examined and observed for effects of adreno-cortical hormone on the clinico-pathological findings. Either evaluation or extraction of the fragment of serum protein was performed by electrophoresis on filter paper or starch. Fractions of the serum protein were classified by the difference in specifi...

Schistosomiasis Japonica: The DALYs Recaptured

Schistosoma parasites are disease-producing trematodes, or ‘‘blood flukes’’, that infect an estimated 207 million people worldwide [1]. Although schistosomes are common in the developing world, their role in human disease and disability is not widely appreciated, even by tropical medicine and health policy specialists [2]. A disability analysis reported by Finkelstein and colleagues in this edi...

hydrochlorothiazide detection in urine samples by hplc-dad and experimental design dispersive l-l microextraction

hydrochlorothiazide (hct) is a diuretic agent which is shown to be effective in the treatment of hypertension. literature reports have demonstrated that urinary excretion data may be used to assess the bioavailability of various formulations containing this thiazide. also hct consumption by the athletes is one of the drugs which should be regulated by world anti-doping agency (wada), because of...
