[ 1 ] - Investigating the Potential of Protoscolices for Cyst Formation under in vivo Microwave Radiation
Introduction: Hydatid cyst surgery leads to the cyst rupture and release of protoscolices. Following the results of the previous study showing that microwaves have the ability to deactivate protoscolices in vitro, this study aimed to investigate the effect of these microwaves on protoscolices in vivo. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 24 mice. Hydatid cysts from sheep were coll...

[ 4 ] - Evaluating Pulmonary Samples of Immunodeficient Patients for a Free-Living Amoeba: Acanthamoeba in BAL Samples
Background: Pulmonary disorders caused by parasites are common in many tropical regions. Acanthamoeba is an opportunistic parasite, and most of its dangerous complications are seen in patients with immune deficiencies. Considering the high dissemination of Acanthamoeba parasite in water, soil, and fine airborne dust in Iran, this research was performed to study the rate of pulmonary secreti...
