Four rapid, simple, reproducible and sensitive methods (A-D) for assaying domperidone (I) and metoclopramide (II) in a bulk sample and in dosage forms were investigated. The first and second methods, A and B, are based on the oxidation of I and/or II by Fe3+ in the presence of o-phenanthroline (o-phen) or bipyridyl (bipy). The formation of tris-complex upon reactions with Fe3+-o-phen and/or Fe3...

Abstract Microsporidia are enteric intracellular pathogens infecting animals and humans. It causes life-threatening diarrhoea in species have been isolated from several domestic wild animals, however, data on microsporidia infection Nigeria is still very scanty. This study was conducted to clarify improve our knowledge of the possibility zoonotic origin Enterocytozoon environment. Two hundred f...

The aim of this study was to verify the occurrence of Cryptosporidium infection in 52 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients (group 1) and 38 clinically healthy individuals (group 2) by using enzyme immunoassay (EIA). All fecal samples collected were submitted to the Baermann, Lutz and Ritchie methods, the Safranin/Methylene Blue, and Weber's chrom...

Encephalitozoonosis is an increasingly important opportunistic protozoan infection in immunocompromised individuals. This study aims to examine the development of an experimental Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection in the central nervous system of immunosuppressed mice. Adult Balb-C mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with E. cuniculi spores, treated with cyclophosphamide during the experimen...

Background and objectives: Cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and other immunosuppressive drugs are always prone to various infections including opportunistic parasites. Since detection of infections in immunocompromised patients are frequently imperfect and the usual symptoms such as pyrexia are missing or hidden due to leukopenia, the importance of detection of opportu...

Abstract The present study provides a complete perspective of recyclable molybdovanadophosphoric acid immobilized on kaolin (MVPA/Kaolin), hybrid material for catalytic degradation the dye, Chromotrope 2R in water under mild reaction conditions. Novel MVPA/Kaolin was synthesized with an advanced impregnation method. characterized PXRD, FTIR, ICP-OES, SEM–EDX, TEM, TGA, surface area, porosity, a...

A prospective study of intestinal microsporidiosis in HIV-positive children was conducted at the Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health and Phramongkutklao Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Hospitalized HIV-positive children with and without diarrhea were enrolled in this study. Microsporidial spores identified by calcofluor fluorescent and gram-chromotrope stain were confirmed by electron...

Encephalitozoon intestinalis (Septata intestinalis) is the second most prevalent microsporidian species infecting humans, but it has not been described in other animal species. This investigation examined 10 domestic animal stool samples (8 mammalian, 2 avian) containing spores detected by anti-Encephalitozoon monoclonal antibody immunofluorescence (FA). The presence of E. intestinalis but not ...

Introduction: Immunocompromised host has one or more defects in the normal defense mechanisms that protect against infectious agents. Microsporidia are group of protozoa characterized via obligate intracellular and spore formation, detected many hosts. Up till now, 1300 microsporidia species more, related to 150 genera, were, microsporidiosis caused by microsporidia. Objectives: To conduct Mole...
