Multisystem involvement of alveolar echinococcosis in a child

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2014
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a chronic progressive infestation inducing a slowly progressing, life-threatening tumor-like growth in the liver. It may spread to other organs by regional extension or hematogenous or lymphatic metastasis. Herein, we report a fifteen-year-old patient diagnosed with AE of the liver and simultaneous lung and brain ...

Dogs’ gastrointestinal parasites and their association with public health in Iran

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2017
Introduction: Dogs harbour zoonotic parasites that cause serious infections in humans, such as visceral larva migrans, ocular larva migrans, cystic echinococcosis, and alveolar echinococcosis.

A poroelastic model coupled to a fluid network with applications in lung modelling [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Here we develop a lung ventilation model, based a continuum poroelastic representation of lung parenchyma and a 0D airway tree flow model. For the poroelastic approximation we design and implement a lowest order stabilised finite element method. This component is strongly coupled to the 0D airway tree model. The framework is applied to a realistic lung

Drug repurposing for hard-to-treat human alveolar echinococcosis: pyronaridine and beyond

Parasitology
Human alveolar echinococcosis is a hard-to-treat and largely untreated parasitic disease with high associated health care costs. The current antiparasitic treatment for alveolar echinococcosis relies exclusively on albendazole, which does not act ...

Quantitative Ultrasound for Periodontal Soft Tissue Characterization [PDF]

arXiv
Periodontal diseases affect 45.9\% of adults aged 30 or older in the United States. Current diagnostic methods for clinical assessment of these diseases are visual examination and bleeding on probing that are subjective, qualitative, and/or invasive.

Evidence of Chaotic Mixing in the Alveolar Region of the Lung [PDF]

arXiv
We report an experimental and numerical investigation to study the role of asymmetry in the expansion-contraction of the acinar wall on the particle transport in the acinus. We model the acinar flow feature using a T-section by appropriately matching the dimensionless numbers to that in the acinus of healthy human subjects.
