schistosomiasis/アルブミン

This study assessed levels of growth hormone, albumin and ferritin in human fascioliasis and schistosomiasis. Forty three patients and ten healthy parasite free subjects were included as controls. All were subjected to clinical, parasitological, and haematological examinations. Serum growth hormone

As part of a urinary schistosomiasis control programme on Zanzibar, an aged cross-sectional survey of 305 children from three schools on Unguja was conducted to investigate the relationships between levels of excreted albumin and haemoglobin in urine and Schistosoma haematobium infection status.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) reagent strips for detection of urinary tract pathology (UTP) associated with urinary schistosomiasis in schoolchildren from Zanzibar. METHODS Sixty-six schoolchildren were examined for urinary schistosomiasis and UTP using urine reagent

Forty-two cases of advanced schistosomiasis with massive ascites were treated with paracentesis and infusion of dextran and albumin. The effective rate was 100%. No abdominal wall hematoma, internal bleeding and visceral injury except 2 cases of mild abdominal congestion. In conclusion, there is a

We have previously shown that dexamethasone increases albumin mRNA and decreases procollagen steady-state mRNA levels in rat hepatocyte cultures. These studies were extended by evaluating an in vivo model of fibrogenesis (murine schistosomiasis) and by determining a more precise level of gene

BACKGROUND Urinary schistosomiasis is responsible for a variety of debilitating conditions; foremost perhaps are urinary tract pathologies (UTPs). Although portable ultrasonography can be used to detect UTPs visually, there is still a need for rapid morbidity assessment (henceforth referred to as

BACKGROUND Schistosoma japonicum causes marked liver fibrosis, while lethal syndromes present in advanced schistosomiasis patients. Its management depends on the degree of fibrosis present. METHODS Fifty-two patients were recruited to assess the diagnostic value of bio-markers in patients with

BACKGROUND The current prevalence of glomerulonephritis in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis mansoni in Brazil was evaluated. METHODS Sixty three patients (mean age 45.5 ± 11 years) attending the outpatient infectious disease clinic of a University Hospital in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from

OBJECTIVE Liver dysfunction is said to occur only late in the course of schistosomiasis. As albumin levels tend to be normal, the observed prolonged prothrombin time is thought to arise from subclinical consumption coagulopathy. The aim of this study was to further evaluate this matter by studying

We have employed in situ hybridization to evaluate the molecular mechanisms responsible for hypoalbuminemia and increased liver collagen content in murine schistosomiasis. Results were compared using a simplified method of hybridizing isolated hepatocytes from Schistosoma mansoni-infected and normal

BACKGROUND Several studies have been conducted quantifying the impact of schistosome infections on health and development in school-aged children. In contrast, relatively little is known about morbidity levels in preschool-aged children (≤ 5 years) who have been neglected in terms of schistosome
