Is the Hepatic Factor a miRNA that maintains the integrity of pulmonary microvasculature by inhibiting the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor?
Authors: Vettukattil JJ Abstract The "hepatic factor," a molecule or group of molecules present in the hepatic venous blood, essential for the prevention of the development of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) and right-to-left shunting has been a conceptual enigma in the understanding of many related conditions. Patients with various forms of liver diseases including acute hepatic failure, and others with normal hepatic function like hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), inflammatory and parasitic disorders, cardiogenic hepatopulmonary syndrome (cHPS) and skin disorders like Dyskeratosis congeni...

Activated Mast Cells Mediate Low-Grade Inflammation in Type 2 Diabetes: IL-37 Could be Beneficial
Publication date: Available online 31 January 2018 Source:Canadian Journal of Diabetes Author(s): Pio Conti, Gianpaolo Ronconi, Spyridon K. Kritas, Alessandro Caraffa, Theoharis C. Theoharides Mast cells (MCs) promote guest immune response against parasites and play a critical role in allergic and inflammatory reactions. Once they have been activated, MCs release high inflammatory compounds that can provoke serious pathological signs that can even lead to death. MCs generate a number of pre-formed, de novo synthesized compounds, and inflammatory cytokine/chemokine synthesis in response to the high affinity (Kd=10-10 M) Ig...

Jawless fish take a bite out of the blood-brain barrier
(University of Wisconsin-Madison) A jawless parasitic fish could help lead the way to more effective treatments for multiple brain ailments, including cancer, trauma and stroke. A team of biomedical engineers and clinician-scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Texas at Austin borrowed molecules from the immune system of the parasitic sea lamprey to deliver anti-cancer drugs directly to brain tumors.

Central Nervous System Opportunistic Infections
Semin Neurol 2019; 39: 383-390 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1687842Opportunistic infections of the central nervous system are classically associated with immunosuppression arising from infection with human immunodeficiency virus and with various hematologic malignancies. However, over the past few years, they are increasingly associated with transplantation and various immunosuppressive treatments used to treat autoimmune diseases. They cause significant morbidity and mortality and remain a diagnostic challenge due to the absence of typical signs and symptoms of infection and mimicry by various noninfectious causes. The pathogens a...

Simvastatin improves cardiac function through Notch1 activation in BALB/c mice with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy.
Conclusions and Implications: Simvastatin, probably acting through the Notch1 pathway, decreases inflammation, improving cardiac function in chronically T. cruzi-infected mice. PMID: 32393497 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Multiple neurocysticercosis and aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage: case presentation and systematic literature review.
Authors: Meregildo ED Abstract Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a global health problem. In more developed countries, NCC is mainly a disease affecting immigrants. In developing countries, NCC is the most common parasitic disease of the nervous system and the main cause of acquired epilepsy. NCC is also an unrecognized cause of strokes and could account for 4%-12% of strokes. Here, I report a case of a 58-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department (ED) with severe headache, vomiting, and sudden loss of consciousness. Multiple NCC and Fisher grade 4 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were demonstrated...

A Retrieved Sparganum of Spirometra erinaceieuropaei from a Korean Man during Mechanical Thrombectomy.
We report a case of cerebral intravascular sparganosis in an elderly patient with acute ischemic stroke who was diagnosed by retrieving sparganum during mechanical thrombectomy. Finally, the parasites were identified as Spirometra erinaceieuropaei using multiplex PCR and cox1 gene sequencing. PMID: 32615744 [PubMed - in process]
