Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Mechanistic Evidence

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the mechanistic interplay between periodontitis and IBD, with a particular emphasis on the microbial and immunological crosstalk linking the oral cavity and the gastrointestinal tract.

High prevalence of a host‐associated Anaplasma lineage in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Anaplasma sp. DNA was detected in 47.9% of free‐ranging coatis (Nasua nasua) sampled in Iguaçu National Park, southern Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed a genetically distinct Anaplasma lineage infecting coatis, differing from Anaplasma strains detected in associated tick populations.

An epidemiological approach to study congenital Chagas' disease

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 1994
Transplacental transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi has been the focus of much attention in highly endemic areas in South America. Frequency of congenital transmission and factors associated with risk of it are still not well understood.

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Treatment of Chagas disease

, 2010
Abstract Although Chagas disease has existed for at least 9000 years, its treatment is recent: the internationally accepted drugs nifurtimox and benznidazole date from the 1970s. Both drugs are effective in acute cases, in congenital cases, in reactivation of chronic cases, and in new chronic cases. Its usefulness in chronic cases has not been shown,

Peridomestic infestation by Triatoma pallidipennis and natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in Zacatepec, Morelos, Mexico Infestación peridoméstica por Triatoma pallidipennis e infección natural por Trypanosoma cruzi en Zacatepec, Morelos, México

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Entomological and community‐related risk factors for Chagas disease were assessed through peridomestic sampling, calculation of entomological indices and surveys of community knowledge, attitudes and practices. Forty‐six triatomines, all identified as Triatoma pallidipennis, were collected, and all specimens showed natural infection with Trypanosoma ...

Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Changes in the Pterygopalatine and Midpalatal Sutures After Rapid Palatal Expansion With Tooth‐Bone‐Borne (MARPE) and Tooth‐Borne (Hyrax) Appliances

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the effects of tooth‐bone‐borne mini‐implant‐assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) and tooth‐borne (Hyrax) rapid palatal expansion (RPE) techniques on the pterygopalatine suture (PPS) and the opening pattern of the midpalatal suture (MPS).

HTLV screening and confirmatory testing among blood donors in São Paulo: A cross‐sectional study

Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Human T‐cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1/2) are transfusion‐transmissible retroviruses associated with severe diseases, and blood donor screening is mandatory in Brazil. Increasing HTLV‐related discard rates at our institution prompted this study to determine the prevalence and incidence of HTLV‐1/2 and to investigate
