Scientific literature on neglected tropical diseases: a bibliometric analysis
Pathog Glob Health. 2023 Aug 22:1-8. doi: 10.1080/20477724.2023.2250619. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of diseases mainly affecting people in low- and middle-income Countries. The aim of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on NTDs. Using the MeSH database, we quantified the number of publications on MEDLINE targeting each NTD, which were published from 1 January 1999 to 31 January 2019. In order to weight the number of publications targeting a given NTD according to the total number of publications/year, we calculated a Yearly Publica...

Evaluation of the immunoprotective effects of eight recombinant proteins from Baylisascaris schroederi in mice model
Baylisascaris schroederi is the most common and harmful intestinal parasitic nematode of giant pandas, causing ascariasis. Although drug deworming is the main measure to control ascariasis in captive giant pandas... (Source: Parasites and Vectors)

Foegraecumoside O and P, a Pair of Triterpenoid Saponins with a 4/5/6 Fused Tricyclic Oleanane Carbon Skeleton from < em > Lysimachia foenum-graecum < /em > Hance
Molecules. 2023 Jun 28;28(13):5061. doi: 10.3390/molecules28135061.ABSTRACTLysimachia foenum-graecum Hance (Primulaceae) is a medicinal plant used for cold, pain, ascariasis, etc., in China. Triterpenoid saponins have been found to be the main components of this genus. In this work, a pair of oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins with an unprecedented 4/5/6 fused tricyclic skeleton, foegraecumoside O (1) and foegraecumoside P (2) were isolated from the butanol fraction of the aerial parts of L. foenum-graecum. Their structures were determined using chemical methods and extensive spectroscopic analyses, along with quantum che...

Ascariasis causing small bowel obstruction in an adult female: A case report
CONCLUSION: In a patient presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of bowel obstruction, Ascariasis should be considered as a differential diagnosis for those from endemic areas. The treating physician should have a high index of suspicion.PMID:37437322 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijscr.2023.108486 (Source: Pain Physician)

The Relationship of Parasite Allergens to Allergic Diseases
AbstractPurpose of ReviewHelminth infections modify the natural history of allergic diseases, by either decreasing or increasing their symptoms. Several helminth components are involved in the increasing of the allergic response and symptoms, overcoming the concomitant immunosuppression of helminthiases. However, the role of individual IgE-binding molecules in this process remains to be defined.Recent FindingsWe updated the list of helminth allergens and IgE-binding molecules, their effects on asthma presentation, and their impact on allergy diagnosis. Data from genetic and epigenetic studies of ascariasis are analyzed. A ...
