Summary The surface of the schistosomula is an important target for host immune system attack because the tegument represents the interface between host and parasite and thus is a potential candidate for the development of new intervention strategies. In this study, we evaluated the ability of schistosomula tegument (Smteg) to induce protection in mice. Immunization of mice with Smteg together with Freund adjuvant induced a Th1 type of immune response associated with a significant reduction in worm ...

Abstract Objective To study the antiepileptic effects of rTMS in patients with refractory epilepsy and malformations of cortical development in a randomized, double‐blind, sham‐controlled trial. Methods Twenty‐one patients with malformations of cortical development and refractory epilepsy underwent five consecutive sessions of low‐frequency rTMS, either sham or active (1Hz, 1,200 pulses), focally targeting the malformations of cortical development. The number of epileptiform discharges in the electroencephalogram ...

▪ Abstract Objective: To investigate whether active anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) (of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [DLPFC] and primary motor cortex [M1]) as compared to sham treatment is associated with changes in sleep structure in fibromyalgia. Methods: Thirty‐two patients were randomized to receive sham stimulation or active tDCS with the anode centered over M1 or DLPFC (2 mA, 20 minutes for five consecutive days). A blinded evaluator rated the clinical symptoms of fibromyalgia. All‐ ...

OBJECTIVES: 1) To identify the most frequent clinical symptoms and correlate them with duplex ultrasound scan (DS) findings; 2) to identify high-risk clinical conditions for DVT; and 3) to evaluate time since the onset of symptoms and DS examination. METHODS: A total of 528 patients with a clinical suspicion of DVT were evaluated by DS performed by experienced vascular ...

Nine new human cases of E. chaffeensis infection diagnosed on a clinical and serological basis are reported. Serological tests were performed with indoor slides prepared with CDC stock DH-82 cells infected with E. chaffeensis (Arkansas strain). All but two patients were adults. Seven patients were male and two female. The fever duration varied from ...

Nanostructured materials based on PHB and different types of nanoclay were prepared and characterized as regards changes in the thermal behavior and morphological/structural characteristics. With respect to the thermal degradation profile, the addition of nanoclays to the PHB matrix did not, in general, cause loss of thermal stability. Regarding morphology/structure, X-ray diffraction revealed that the addition of the nanonoclays altered the crystallinity profile of some samples and suggested that ...

The preliminary results of noninvasive brain stimulation for epilepsy treatment have been encouraging, but mixed. Two important factors may contribute to this heterogeneity: the altered brain physiology of patients with epilepsy and the variable presence of antiepileptic drugs. Therefore, we aimed to study the effects of 1 Hz rTMS on corticospinal excitability in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) in two different conditions: low- or high-plasma valproate levels. Fifteen patients with ...

In this work, biodegradable biocomposites were developed using PLA/PHB blend as matrix and two types of microcrystalline cellulose as filler at three different contents. The biocomposites were evaluated regarding their thermal and morphological characteristics and molecular dynamic behavior. It was seen that cellulose addition did not promote significant changes in the Tm, Tc and Tcc in the matrix. On the other hand, XRD and TGA revealed that the addition of the highest content (7 wt%) of cellulose ...

Abstract Objective Recent evidence suggests that fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by dysfunctional brain activity. Because transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate brain activity noninvasively and can decrease pain in patients with refractory central pain, we hypothesized that tDCS treatment would result in pain relief in patients with fibromyalgia. Methods Thirty‐two patients were randomized to receive sham stimulation or real tDCS with the anode centered over the primary ...

The development of non‐invasive techniques of cortical stimulation, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), has opened new potential avenues for the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases. We hypothesized that an increase in the activity in the motor cortex by cortical stimulation would increase its inhibitory influence on spinal excitability through the corticospinal tract and, thus, reduce the hyperactivity of the gamma and alpha neurons, improving spasticity. Seventeen participants (eight ...

It has been recently shown that a single session of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the unaffected hemisphere can improve motor function in stroke patients; however, this improvement is short-lasting. We therefore conducted a randomized, sham-controlled, phase II trial to evaluate whether five sessions of low-frequency rTMS can increase the magnitude and duration of these effects and whether this approach is safe.Fifteen patients with chronic stroke were randomized to receive ...
