Description of female dendritobilharzia pulverulenta (braun, 1901) skrjabin, 1924 from two new avian hosts in namibia with phylogenetic analyses and comments on several taxonomically uncertain avian schistosome sequences
J Parasitol. 2024 Apr 1;110(2):170-178. doi: 10.1645/23-44.ABSTRACTDuring a 2021 parasitological survey of birds in the Nyae Nyae-Khaudum Dispersal Area (Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, Namibia), we collected 9 specimens of Dendritobilharzia pulverulenta (Braun, 1901) Skrjabin, 1924 infecting the blood (heart lumen) of a white-backed duck, Thalassornis leuconotus (Eyton, 1838) (Anseriformes: Anatidae), and a fulvous whistling duck, Dendrocygna bicolor (Vieillot, 1816) (Anatidae). These flukes were fixed for morphology and preserved for DNA extraction. We assigned our specimens to DendritobilharziaSkrjabin ...

Post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) drug efficacy study landscape: A systematic scoping review of clinical trials and observational studies to assess the feasibility of establishing an individual participant-level data (IPD) platform
ConclusionsOur review identified studies with very limited sample size for the three major drugs (miltefosine, L-AmB, and pentavalent antimony), while the number of patients combined across studies suggest that the IPD platform would be valuable. With the support of relevant stakeholders, the global PKDL community and sufficient financing, a PKDL IPD platform can be realised. This will allow for exploration of different aspects of treatment safety and efficacy, which can potentially guide future healthcare decisions and clinical practices.

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 481: Perceptions and Experiences of Inequity for Women of Refugee Background Having a Baby during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Melbourne, Australia
et
Elisha Riggs
Listening to What Matters is an exploratory descriptive qualitative study that aimed to (1) understand how women of refugee background in Melbourne, Australia experienced access to health information and maternity and/or early parenting care during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) whether pandemic health directives had an impact on structural inequities for women of refugee background who received maternity and/or early parenting care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 41 participants including 17 women of refugee background, who identified as belonging to the Ka...

Ferroptosis contributes to airway epithelial E-cadherin disruption in a mixed granulocytic asthma mouse model
This study was aimed to evaluate the role of ferroptosis and to investigate whether ferroptosis mediates E-cadherin disruption in mixed granulocyte asthma (MGA). Two murine models of MGA were established using toluene diisocyanate (TDI) or ovalbumin with Complete Freund's Adjuvant (OVA/CFA). Specific antagonists of ferroptosis, including Liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) and Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) were given to the mice. The allergen-exposed mice displayed markedly shrunk mitochondria in the airway epithelia, with decreased volume and denser staining accompanied by down-regulated GPX4 as well as up-regulated FTH1 and malondialdehyde, ...

Adoption of Rehabilitation Climbing Wall Combined with Brain-computer Fusion Interface in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
CONCLUSION: The results of the study suggest that the rehabilitation climbing wall training method combined with brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has significant therapeutic effects on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. The intervention was found to effectively reduce the Cobb angle, increase the lumbar range of motion, improve lumbar function, and enhance the quality of life of the patients. These findings indicate that the adoption of rehabilitation climbing walls combined with BCI technology can be clinically valuable in the treatment of AIS. This approach holds promise in improving the rehabilitat...
