Adrenocortical, autonomic, and inflammatory causes of the metabolic syndrome: nested case-control study. [PDF]

, 2002
BACKGROUND: The causes of metabolic syndrome (MS), which may be a precursor of coronary disease, are uncertain. We hypothesize that disturbances in neuroendocrine and cardiac autonomic activity (CAA) contribute to development of MS.

Neglected Tropical Diseases and Female Infertility: Possible Pathophysiological Mechanisms

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Battling female infertility has posed a global challenge, where neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are nonetheless a notable contributing factor. NTDs affect a variety of diseases, often of a chronic nature, which are often cited as some of the most lethal diseases operating against the most economically disadvantaged populations across the globe.

Analysis of age-dependent trends in Ov16 IgG4 seroprevalence to onchocerciasis [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Diagnostics provide a means to measure progress toward disease elimination. Many countries in Africa are approaching elimination of onchocerciasis after successful implementation of mass drug administration programs as well as vector control.

Onchocerciasis transmission in Ghana: biting and parous rates of host-seeking sibling species of the Simulium damnosum complex [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Ghana is renowned for its sibling species diversity of the Simulium damnosum complex, vectors of Onchocerca volvulus. Detailed entomological knowledge becomes a priority as onchocerciasis control policy has shifted from morbidity reduction

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled, Single Ascending Dose Trial of AWZ1066S, an Anti‐Wolbachia Candidate Macrofilaricide

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1071-1081, September 2024.
Abstract AWZ1066S has been developed as a potential treatment for the neglected tropical diseases lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. AWZ1066S targets the Wolbachia bacterial endosymbiont present in the causative nematode parasites. This phase 1, first‐in‐human study aimed to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of AWZ1066S in healthy human ...
