Presentation of AIDS with Disseminated Cutaneous and Visceral Leishmaniasis in Iran
Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, 2015 Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease in form of visceral (VL), cutaneous (CL), and mucocutaneous (MCL) leishmaniasis. Immunocompromised patients have increased risk of Leishmania infection, especially in endemic areas for visceral leishmaniasis, where

Synthetic Biology in Leishmaniasis: Design,simulation and validation of constructed Genetic circuit [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Building circuits and studying their behavior in cells is a major goal of systems and synthetic biology. Synthetic biology enables the precise control of cellular states for systems studies, the discovery of novel parts, control strategies, and interactions for the design of robust synthetic systems. To the best of our knowledge,there are no literature

The role of disease cycles in the endemicity of infectious diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Vector-borne diseases with reservoir cycles are complex to understand because new infections come from contacts of the vector with humans and different reservoirs. In this scenario, the basic reproductive number $\mathcal{R}^h_0$ of the system where the reservoirs are not included could turn out to be less than one, yet, an endemic equilibrium be ...

Discrimination Among Multiple Cutaneous and Proprioceptive Hand Percepts Evoked by Nerve Stimulation with Utah Slanted Electrode Arrays in Human Amputees [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Objective: This paper aims to demonstrate functional discriminability among restored hand sensations with different locations, qualities, and intensities that are evoked by microelectrode stimulation of residual afferent fibers in human amputees. Methods: We implanted a Utah Slanted Electrode Array (USEA) in the median and ulnar residual arm nerves of ...
