Toxocara canis myelitis.

open access: yesNihon Naika Gakkai Zasshi, 2007
イヌ回虫性脊髄炎は幼虫移行症の一つであり,まれな神経感染症である.症例は左半身のしびれ感にて発症した21歳女性で,頻回に生の牛レバー食歴があった.脊髄MRIで第4~8胸椎レベルに病変を認め,脳脊髄液中の好酸球出現と血清IgE上昇を認めた.血清,脳脊髄液中のイヌ回虫抗体価上昇を認め,イヌ回虫性脊髄炎と診断した.アルベンダゾールの内服で臨床症状は改善し,抗体価も低下した.脊髄炎の鑑別診断の一つにイヌ回虫性脊髄炎も考慮すべきと考え,報告する.

Fascicle measurement methods do result in lengths that are significantly different

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A recent comparison of the most prevalent methods for measuring fascicles, in situ measurement versus chemical digestion, concluded that the measurements are indistinguishable based on data from different conspecific individuals. However, our study of contralateral muscles of the same individuals shows that the methods clearly result in statistically ...

IgG Antibody responses in mice coinfected with Toxocara canis and other helminths or protozoan parasites

open access: yesRevista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2012
The immune response expressed by IgG antibodies in BALB/c mice experimentally infected with Toxocara canis, was studied with the aim of verifying the possible in vivo cross-reactivity between antigens of T. canis and other parasites (Ascaris suum, Taenia

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)
