Heartworm Disease in Dogs
The life cycle begins when a female mosquito bites an infected dog and ingests the microfilariae during a blood meal. The microfilariae develop further for 10 30 days in the mosquito's gut and then enter its mouthparts. At this stage, they are infective larvae and can complete their maturation when they enter a dog. The infective larvae enter the dog's body when the mosquito bites the dog. They...
متن کاملUpregulation of Endothelin-1/Endothelin A Receptor Expression Correlates with Heparanase Expression in Ovarian Carcinoma
Background: Heparanase and endothelin-1/endothelin A receptor (ET-1/ETAR) expressions increase in cancer. This condition enhances tumor progression and correlates with poor survival. Limited data are documented regarding the role of heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We sought to characterize the correlation between heparanase and ET-1/ETAR in EOC.Methods: Thirty patie...
متن کاملSDS-PAGE analysis of urinary proteins in dogs with heartworm disease
The aim of the study was to describe the urinary electrophoretic pattern of dogs with heartworm disease.Urine samples from 15 heartworm-infected and 15 healthy dogs were taken. Urinary specific gravity, urinaryprotein concentration and the urine protein/creatinine (U P/C) ratio were determined. Urine proteins werefractionated using SDS-PAGE. Results showed statistically significant differences ...
متن کاملTesting for heartworm disease in dogs.
Heartworm disease is caused by a parasite called Dirofilaria immitis, better known as heartworm. The parasites are long, hair-like worms that live in the right ventricle of the heart and the pulmonary artery, which is the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs. Dogs become infected when they are bitten by an infected mosquito that is carrying immature heartworms calle...
متن کاملEndothelin-1 expression in prostate needle biopsy specimens correlated with aggressiveness of prostatic cancer
Background & Objective: As the prostate adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors in males, looking for a marker to effectively predict aggressiveness and metastatic potential in an apparently localized cancer in initial needle biopsy specimens can help the clinicians to make more appropriate decision for treatment, planning, and choosing appropriate ta...
