Myiasis is an animal or human pathogenic condition initiated by parasitic dipterous fly larvae feeding in the host's necrotic or living tissue. Here we report a case of external ophthalmomyiasis caused by Lucilia sericata in a 78-yr-old with a vascular tumor of the retina and surgery history, from Bijar City of Kurdistan Province, Iran in 2015. Associated symptoms included right eye pain with m...

The spontaneous movement of natural motile cilia in the form metachronal waves is responsible for fluid transport. These cilia, particular, play important roles locomotion, feeding, liquid pumping, and cell delivery. On other hand, artificial can be useful lab-on-a-chip devices manipulation processes. In this study, a novel model ciliated tapered channel Sutterby flow under impact an induced ma...

the larvae causing myiasis can lead extensive tissue destruction, invasion into deep tissues and secondary infec­tions. poor hygiene, low socioeconomic condition and presence of open wounds are the most important predisposing factors. this case report describes destructive wound myiasis in a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed with maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma who lives in a rural are...

background: the aim of his study was to determine development time and thermal requirements of three myiasis flies including chrysomya albiceps, lucilia sericata, and sarcophaga sp. methods: rate of development (rod) and accumu­lated degree day ( add) of three important forensic flies in iran, chrysomya albiceps, lucilia sericata, and sarcophaga sp. by rearing individuals under a single constan...

BACKGROUND Whereas cilia damage and reduced cilia beat frequency have been implicated as causative of reduced mucociliary clearance in smokers, theoretically mucociliary clearance could also be affected by cilia length. Based on models of mucociliary clearance predicting that cilia length must exceed the 6-7 microm airway surface fluid depth to generate force in the mucus layer, we hypothesized...

Primary cilia are microtubule-based structures present on most mammalian cells that are important for intercellular signaling. Cilia are present on a subset of endothelial cells where they project into the vessel lumen and are implicated as mechanical sensors of blood flow. To test the in vivo role of endothelial cilia, we conditionally deleted Ift88, a gene required for ciliogenesis, in endoth...

Since presentation of the concepts of the immotile cilia syndrome, much attention has been paid to function and structure of respiratory cilia, many authors have pointed out that ultrastructural abnormality of cilia was attributed to the immotility of cilia. We investigated a woman suspected of the immotile cilia syndrome by electron microscopy, cross sections of cilia obtained from respiratory...

Jelen tanulmány a Lucilia sericata (Meigen) forenzikus entomológiai szempontból jelentős rovar kísérleti körülmények közti fejlődési menetét (metamorfózis) elemzi. Egy tetemrészlet (sertés mellső végtag) szabad környezetben megvalósuló lebomlásának folyamatát vizsgálva L. teljes menetének fázisait végigkíséri. Vizsgálja hőmérsékletnek és páratartalomnak egyedfejlődésére gyakorolt hatását. A kit...
