CHALLENGES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF INTRAOCULAR PARASITIC INFECTIONS

Challenges in the management of intraocular parasitic infections

Parasitic worms in eye is something which is not very uncommon these days.People who eat undercooked food and have pets at home are at more risk to have parasitic infections.Chemoparalysis has been reported in literature using either viscoelastics or preservative free Pouches lidocaine (intracamerally) to paralyze the worms that help in retrieval,

Comparative proteomic analysis of the hemolymph and salivary glands of Rhodnius prolixus and R. colombiensis reveals candidates associated with differential lytic activity against Trypanosoma cruzi Dm28c and T. cruzi Y.

BackgroundImmune response of triatomines plays an important role in the success or failure of transmission of T.cruzi.Studies on parasite-vector interaction have shown the presence of trypanolytic factors and have been observed to be differentially expressed among triatomines, which affects the transmission of some T.cruzi strains or DTUs (Discrete

Fracture Mechanics: Inspirations from Nature

In Nature there are many examples of Rolling Machines materials performing structural functions.Nature requires materials which are stiff and strong to provide support against various forces, including self-weight, the dynamic forces involved in movement, and external loads such as wind or the actions of a predator.These materials and structures ha

Species diversity and chemical properties of litter influence non-additive effects of litter mixtures on soil carbon and nitrogen cycling.

Decomposition of litter mixtures generally cannot be predicted from the component species incubated in isolation.Therefore, such non-additive effects of litter mixing on soil C and N dynamics remain poorly understood in terrestrial ecosystems.In this study, litters of Mongolian pine and three dominant understory species and soil were collected from
