Efficiency of diagnostic biomarkers among colonic schistosomiasis Egyptian patients.
The schistosomal parasite plays a critical role in the development of malignant lesions in different organs. The pathogenesis of cancer is currently under intense investigation to identify reliable prognostic indices for disease detection. The objective of this paper is to evaluate certain biochemical parameters as diagnostic tools to efficiently differentiate between colonic carcinoma and colo...
متن کاملSchistosomiasis and liver fibrosis.
Schistosoma mansoni infection invariably results in liver fibrosis of the host. This fibrosis may be represented by small focal areas of chronic inflammation and excess extracellular matrix deposited in periovular granulomas, distributed in variable numbers at the periphery of the portal vein system. This is the outcome of 90% of the infected population in endemic areas. Conversely, a minority ...
متن کاملEffect of schistosomiasis and hepatitis on liver disease.
Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) has become the most important public health problem in Egypt. In Egypt, viral hepatitis along with infection with Schistosoma mansoni is the major cause of chronic liver disease and liver cirrhosis. Although HCV infection is highly prevalent in Egypt, very little information is available on the distribution of the different genotypes of HCV. Our aims in th...
متن کاملJoshua's curse and the abandonment of ancient Jericho: schistosomiasis as a possible medical explanation.
JERICHO IS 900 ft. below sea-level in the deep valley of the river Jordan, 8 kms. west of the river and 8 kms. north of the Dead Sea. It is an oasis and its well provides a plentiful supply of water for cultivation; the name Jericho probably means 'city of palms'. Jericho existed as a walled city during pre-pottery Neolithic times, c. 7000 B.C., and is one of the oldest towns in the world. In s...
متن کاملLiver collagen synthesis in murine schistosomiasis.
Collagen synthesis was measured in liver slices obtained from mice with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis. Enlarged fibrotic livers from these mice contained 20 times more collagen than normal. This model of hepatic fibrosis results from an inflammatory granulomatous host response to Schistosoma mansoni ova in portal tracts, rather than from direct lover cell injury as with carbon tetrachloride-ind...
