Anterior orbital cysticercosis: A case presentation

open access: yesKerala Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017
One of the most important parasites which frequently cause blindness in humans is the cysticercus cellulosae. Cysticercus cellulosae, the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium, is the causative organism of cysticercosis, in which humans are the ...

Exploring Interactive Effects of Arsenic and Selenium Exposure on Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arsenic contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a major environmental concern. Selenium (Se) helps mitigate oxidative stress and hence could reduce the toxic effects of arsenic. However, Se can also be toxic at high concentrations. Given that these metalloids commonly co‐occur in the environment, there is a pressing need for further research ...

Protective effect of squilla chitosan–silver nanoparticles for Dicentrarchus labrax larvae infected with Vibrio anguillarum

open access: yesInternational Aquatic Research, 2016
Antimicrobial nanoparticle therapy was proposed as an alternative strategy to reduce the use of antibiotics in larval-rearing systems. Antibacterial potential of the prepared squilla chitosan–silver nanoparticles and its protective effect on ...

Pleiotropy as the Mechanism for Evolving Novelty: Same Signal, Different Result. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In contrast to the probabilistic way of thinking about pleiotropy as the random expression of a single gene that generates two or more distinct phenotypic traits, it is actually a deterministic consequence of the evolution of complex physiology from the ...

Maltase 1 regulates DENV2 infection and life history in Aedes aegypti

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Our study employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a MAL1 knockout strain of Aedes aegypti, demonstrating that the absence of MAL1 significantly suppresses DENV2 replication in the midgut and impairs viral transmission. The mutation also altered life‐history (hatching/pupation/emerging rates and sex‐specific survival), identifying MAL1 as a novel target for ...

Effect of male age at the time of irradiation on the sexual performance of sterile Ceratitis capitata males: insights from remating female offspring

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an effective strategy for controlling insect pests, such as the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata, Wiedemann). The effectiveness of the SIT depends on the ability of the sterile males to mate and their capacity to induce sterility in wild females.

Zebrafish models of developmental epileptic encephalopathy accurately reflect clinical electrographic biomarkers

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are epilepsy conditions characterized by significant severity and treatment challenges. Spectral components of the encephalogram (EEG) may provide a valuable biomarker of epileptic severity.

Endogenous musculoskeletal tissue engineering - a focused perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Two major difficulties facing widespread clinical implementation of existing Tissue Engineering (TE) strategies for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders are (1) the cost, space and time required for ex vivo culture of a patient’s autologous cells ...
