Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis is an intracellular protozoan parasite responsible for the cutaneous leishmaniasis. The parasite replicates inside mammalian macrophage to establish infection. Host-pathogen interactions result in microRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation of host genes involved in inflammatory immune response. We analyzed macrophage miRNA profiles during L. (L.) amazo...

BACKGROUND Fast track recovery is a care process goal after cardiac surgery. Intraoperative anesthetic depth may impact recovery, but the impact of brain monitoring on time to extubation and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay after cardiac surgery has not been extensively studied. Our goal was to determine if BIS-guided anesthesia improves time to extubation compared to MAC-guided anesthe...

Immune responses to Plasmodium falciparum rhoptry-associated protein 1 (RAP-1), RAP-2, and RAP-3 appear to contribute to protection against infection by this human malarial parasite. This conclusion is suggested by results of monkey immunization trials and of cell culture studies showing antibody-dependent inhibition of erythrocyte invasion. In the present study, splenectomized owl monkeys were...
