Prevalence and Incidence of Parkinson's Disease in Latin America: A Meta‐Analysis

Movement Disorders, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 105-118, January 2024.
Abstract Background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a rapidly growing neurodegenerative disorder, but up‐to‐date epidemiological data are lacking in Latin America. We sought to estimate the prevalence and incidence of PD and parkinsonism in Latin America. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Scientific Electronic Library Online, and

Tacaribe virus but not junin virus infection induces cytokine release from primary human monocytes and macrophages. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
The mechanisms underlying the development of disease during arenavirus infection are poorly understood. However, common to all hemorrhagic fever diseases is the involvement of macrophages as primary target cells, suggesting that the immune response in ...
