background: fascioliasis is a chronic hepatic disease and may be resulted from mechani­cal/molecular parasite adhesion to host liver tissue. the aim of this study was to detect surface car­bohydrate and lectin, carbohydrate-binding protein isolation that might be responsible of this molecular binding. methods: the present experimental work was conducted in the department of medical parasitol­og...

the genus pseudomonas consists of more than 120 species that are ubiquitous in moist environments such as water and soil ecosystems and are pathogenic to animals and humans. within the genus of pseudomonas, p. aeruginosa is most frequently associated with human infections. the bacterium is regarded as an opportunistic pathogen, primarily causing nosocomial infections in immunocompromised patien...

BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of infantile hemangiomas is not yet understood. Growth factors and hormonal and mechanical influences have been thought to affect the focal abnormal growth of endothelial cells in these lesions. However, these influences may represent secondary responses to an underlying primary molecular event leading to the development of hemangiomas. OBSERVATIONS We report the r...
