Journal of British Surgery, 1976 Abstract One hundred cases of chagasic megacolon operated upon in Bahia, Brazil, have been analysed. The principal theories of the pathological physiology of the disease are discussed. The pre- and postoperative radio-graphic features of the colon are presented, and the surgical treatment as well as the incidence of complications and ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation represents a fundamental approach in applied insect ecology, offering insight into species distributions and supporting biodiversity analysis, pest management and disease vector mapping. Insects—including important pollinators—face escalating threats due to habitat loss, climate change and anthropogenic pressures. As data‐

, 2010 Publisher Summary At present there is no effective therapy for the majority of the patients who have chronic Chagas disease in the indeterminate (70–80%) and determinate (10–20%) periods. In the acquired acute period, 70% of the cases are cured, and in newborn and suckling children with congenital Chagas disease, a 98% cure is obtained. In the chronic

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model
