Resolution of inflammation in pulmonary arterial hypertension, the influence of sex—An IUPHAR immunopharmacology committee review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive and life‐threatening disease with limited treatment options. Sex differences are apparent in PAH, specifically in the pathophysiology, prognoses and pharmacological responses of patients. Inflammation and its resolution, which often differ between sexes, are dysregulated in chronic inflammatory ...

Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”.

The association of Schistosoma mansoni infection with hepatocellular carcinoma

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1984
The association of Schistosoma mansoni infection with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was studied in Espirito Santo State, Brazil. Schistosoma infection was diagnosed by stool examinations or by histological finding at autopsy. HCC was diagnosed by biopsy,

The Longitudinal Impact of Fetal Malnutrition on the Anthropometric Growth of Young Children in Leyte, the Philippines

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Poor intrauterine growth has long‐term implications for child growth and nutritional status. Fetal malnutrition (FM) is a type of poor intrauterine growth defined by the presence of soft tissue wasting at birth and is identified using the Clinical Assessment of Nutritional Status Score (CANSCORE) tool, independent of gestational age.

Effects of Video‐Based Health Education on Birth Outcomes and Anaemia Status of Mothers in Dirashe District South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Undernutrition and infections during pregnancy result in low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia. Social behaviour change communication (SBCC) can promote recommended health practices, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Schistosoma mansoni infection is associated with quantitative and qualitative modifications of the mammalian intestinal microbiota

Scientific Reports, 2018
In spite of the extensive contribution of intestinal pathology to the pathophysiology of schistosomiasis, little is known of the impact of schistosome infection on the composition of the gut microbiota of its mammalian host.

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.

Prevalence and Reinfection Rates of Schistosoma mansoni and Praziquantel Efficacy against the Parasite among Primary School Children in Sanja Town, Northwest Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2019
Background Schistosomiasis is among the most widespread chronic infections in the world. The magnitude of the infection may show variations across different areas with respect to time.

Evolutionary Analysis of the Cystatin Family in Three Schistosoma Species

Frontiers in Genetics, 2014
The cystatin family comprises cysteine protease inhibitors distributed in 3 subfamilies (I25A-C). Family members lacking cystatin activity are currently unclassified. Little is known about the evolution of Schistosoma cystatins, their physiological roles,

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Co‐Occurring Hybrid Zones of House Mouse Parasites Pneumocystis murina and Syphacia obvelata Using Genome Polarisation

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are expected to hybridise in similar ways to free‐living organisms, although this may be modified by their reduced genome architecture. Recombinant strains and taxa of hybrid origin can be studied in nature where hosts come into secondary contact. Here we apply genome‐wide analysis to parasites from a contact previously characterised
