A review of frequently used Kampo prescriptions part 1. Daikenchuto
Abstract Background The original formula name for daikenchuto (DKT) was written in ‘Jin Gui Yao Lue (Kinkiyōryaku in Japanese)’. DKT as used in Japan consists of four types of crude drug. Key findings Although there are few examples of its use in Chinese classical records, it has begun to be used extensively in modern Japan for intestinal obstruction ...

Undulatory swimming in viscoelastic fluids [PDF]
The effects of fluid elasticity on the swimming behavior of the nematode \emph{Caenorhabditis elegans} are experimentally investigated by tracking the nematode's motion and measuring the corresponding velocity fields. We find that fluid elasticity hinders self-propulsion.

WormWatch: Park soil surveillance reveals extensive Toxocara contamination across the UK and Ireland
Abstract Background Toxocarosis is a globally distributed zoonotic disease, but sources of infection are not well documented over large geographical scales. To determine levels of environmental contamination, soil from 142 parks and recreational areas across the UK and Ireland was assessed for the presence of Toxocara.

Nemo: a computational tool for analyzing nematode locomotion [PDF]
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans responds to an impressive range of chemical, mechanical and thermal stimuli and is extensively used to investigate the molecular mechanisms that mediate chemosensation, mechanotransduction and thermosensation. The main behavioral output of these responses is manifested as alterations in animal locomotion.

Despite careful management practices, the parasitic infection may be attributed to the narrow enclosure, group housing and environmental contamination. The present finding provides baseline information on the parasitic infection in captive mammals and can be used by zoo managers for the better life of captive animals.

TGFβ is an anti-inflammatory molecule that suppresses pro-inflammatory immune responses. Previously, we demonstrated that chronic filarial infection has a beneficial impact on -induced sepsis. In the present study, we investigated whether this protective

The evolution of tyrosine-recombinase elements in Nematoda [PDF]
Transposable elements can be categorised into DNA and RNA elements based on their mechanism of transposition. Tyrosine recombinase elements (YREs) are relatively rare and poorly understood, despite sharing characteristics with both DNA and RNA elements.

Variability in biology contributes to adaptability and fitness of a species. Even though variability occurs ubiquitously in biology, the origins and consequences are often poorly understood. Biological variability could be caused by functional stochasticity that is selected by evolution, or a more organized molecular or cellular process at its basis ...

Plant-parasitic nematodes threaten food security in the developed and developing world. This review looks at the field through a wide lens, aiming to capture a breadth of recent landmark achievements that have changed our understanding of plant-nematode interactions in particular, and plant pathology in general.
