Case of Human Infestation with Dermanyssus gallinae (Poultry Red Mite) from Swallows (Hirundinidae)

Pathogens, 2021
Dermanyssus gallinae (the poultry red mite, PRM) is an important ectoparasite in the laying hen industry. PRM can also infest humans, causing gamasoidosis, which is manifested as skin lesions characterized by rash and itching. Recently, there has been an

Assessing costs of carrying geolocators using feather corticosterone in two species of aerial insectivore [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
Despite benefits of using light-sensitive geolocators to track animal movements and describe patterns of migratory connectivity, concerns have been raised about negative effects of these devices, particularly in small species of aerial insectivore ...

Assessment of esophageal function using provocative tests during high resolution manometry: A single-center experience

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2019
Background: Provocative tests were used to provide additional information during performing high resolution manometry (HRM). The study aimed to evaluate whether it is feasible to test esophageal function with different esophageal provocative tests during

Four-dimensional impedance manometry derived from esophageal high-resolution impedance-manometry studies: a novel analysis paradigm

Therapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology, 2020
Background: This study aimed to introduce a novel analysis paradigm, referred to as 4-dimensional (4D) manometry based on biophysical analysis; 4D manometry enables the visualization of luminal geometry of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction (EGJ)

Combining bulk stable H isotope (δ2H) measurements with fatty acid profiles to examine differential use of aquatic vs. terrestrial prey by three sympatric species of aerial insectivorous birds

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Aerial insectivorous songbirds such as swallows and martins have declined substantially in North America in recent decades. Aquatic-emergent insects provide more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than terrestrial insects, and thus, diet quality is expected ...

Swallow Syncope [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1986
ABSTRACT:Swallow syncope is an often misdiagnosed rare disorder due to enhanced vagal tone during eating in patients with underlying esophageal and/or cardiac abnormalities. We present three cases of this disorder, one related to digitalis toxicity and the other two with diffuse esophageal spasm. The investigation, differential diagnosis, prognosis and
