The pork tapeworm Taenia solium is a zoonotic food-borne parasite endemic in many developing countries causing human cysticercosis and taeniosis as well as porcine cysticercosis.It mainly affects the health of rural smallholder pig farmers and their communities, resulting in lower health status, reduced pork quality, and economic loss due to condem
The Key Roles of Negative Pressure Breathing and Exercise in the Development of Interstitial Pulmonary Edema in Professional Male SCUBA Divers
Abstract Background Immersion pulmonary edema is potentially a catastrophic condition; however, the pathophysiological mechanisms are ill-defined.This study assessed the individual and combined effects of exertion and negative pressure breathing aluminum lotion on the cardiovascular system during the development of pulmonary edema in SCUBA divers.M
Infection and transmission of Rift Valley fever viruses lacking the NSs and/or NSm genes in mosquitoes: potential role for NSm in mosquito infection.
BACKGROUND: Rift Valley fever virus is an arthropod-borne human and animal pathogen responsible for large outbreaks of acute and febrile illness throughout Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.Reverse genetics technology has been used to develop deletion mutants of the virus that lack the NSs and/or NSm virulence genes and have here been shown to be st
Comprehensive Analysis of the Role of SLC2A3 on Prognosis and Immune Infiltration in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background.SLC2A3 is upregulated in various cancer types and promotes proliferation, invasion, and metabolism.However, its role in the prognosis and immune regulation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is still obscure.This study is aimed at exploring the prognostic and immunotherapeutic potential of SLC2A3 in HNSCC.Methods.All data w
