Serendipity in Emergency Diagnostics: Near Miss of a <i>Loa loa</i> Case in a Swiss Hospital. [PDF]
ABSTRACT A 31‐year‐old Cameroonian man presented to the emergency department (ED) with a productive cough, exertional dyspnoea, and asthenia for a few days. The initial evaluation was limited due to cultural barriers, lack of known medical history, and the patient's migration journey through Libya, Tunisia, and Germany over the past 5 years before ...

Diethylcarbamazine, TRP channels and Ca2+ signaling in cells of the Ascaris intestine
The nematode parasite intestine absorbs nutrients, is involved in innate immunity, can metabolize xenobiotics and as we show here, is also a site of action of the anthelmintic, diethylcarbamazine.

CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS OF DIETHYLCARBAMAZINE CITRATE [PDF]
The cardiovascular effects of the anthelmintic drug diethylcarbamazine citrate (DECC) were examined in cats anaesthetized with pentobarbitone. There were two quite distinct haemodynamic responses, an initial transient hypotension (occurring within 10 s of an intravenous injection) and a pronounced secondary hypertension which reached a peak 30–60 s ...
