The present study was to investigate the dynamics of eosinophil in peripheral blood of patients with cutaneous gnathostomiasis before and after worm removal. The total of 28 proven cases of cutaneous gnathostomiasis treated by albendazole were included in the present study. The absolute eosinophil count (AEC) was higher than 500/ul during infestation in almost all the patients, the positive rat...

Purpose. The purpose of this study is to compare the biomechanical behavior of the spanning reconstruction plate compared to standard plating techniques for mandibular symphyseal fractures. Materials and Methods. Twenty-five human mandible replicas were used. Five unaltered synthetic mandibles were used as controls. Four experimental groups of different reconstruction techniques with five in ea...

objective: to report a case of periocular dirofilariasis. patient and findings: a 27-year-old female referred with history of edema and redness in left eye for two days. on slit-lamp examination, a moving threadlike worm was seen in subconjunctival area. two days later a live filaria worm measuring 12 cm in length was extracted from lower lid subcutaneous tissue. the worm was diagnosed dirofila...

Rates of production and oxidation of ruminal acetate were measured in young sheep (1) infected with T. colubriformis; (2) kept worm-free and pair-fed to (1); and (3) kept worm-free and given feed ad lib. Both voluntary food consumption and the production rate of acetate were reduced by up to 76 per cent in sheep on treatment (1) compared with (3). Acetate production rate was 30 per cent lower i...

Organic vegetable production has specific research and innovation requirements which are not shared by other parts of the food and farming sector. A pot experiment was conducted to investigate the interactive effects of few permitted organic inputs such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, biochar, and different ratios of peat:worm casting on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) growth, mycorrhizal dep...

in this study, 4 different food diets were examined for feeding white worm which were studied. results showed that suitable moisture for growth and development of white worm was 50 - 70 % that their biomass reached to a 675 g/m2 during 90 days. but it decreased significantly at moisture lower than 45 % and upper than 65 %. white worm had similar growth both in acidic and basic area. white worm ...

vermiculture is the culture of earthworms. the goal is to continually increase the number of worms in order to obtain a sustainable harvest. the worms are either used to expand a vermicomposting operation or sold to customers who use them for the same or other purposes. vermicomposting is the process by which worms are used to convert organic materials (usually wastes) into a humus-like materia...

BACKGROUND In Africa, many areas are co-endemic for the two major Schistosoma species, S. mansoni and S. haematobium. Epidemiological studies have suggested that host immunological factors may play an important role in co-endemic areas. As yet, little is known about differences in host immune responses and possible immunological interactions between S. mansoni and S. haematobium in humans. The ...

Cloud computing technology not only provides us powerful computing, on-demand service, rapid elasticity, but also possible great destruction by the internet criminal accordingly. This prompts us to consider the cloud-based worm propagation problem. We set up the analytical model through a highly abstract network environment and achieve the overall characteristics of the worm research purposes. ...

By BERTEL VON BONSDORFF, M.D. T HE MACROCYTIC anemia caused by the broad fish tapeworm, Diphyllobothrium latum, has been the subject of extensive investigations in Finland, starting with the pioneer work ofJ. W. Runeberg (1887) and 0. Schauman (1894). The fish tapeworm is extraordinarily common in the country. In certain provinces more than 90 per cent of the population is infested with the par...
