Global stability for a mosquito-borne disease model with continuous-time age structure in the susceptible and relapsed host classes.

Mosquito-borne infectious diseases represent a significant public health issue. Age has been identified as a key risk factor for these diseases, and another phenomenon reported is relapse, which involves the reappearance of symptoms after a symptom-free period. Recent research indicates that susceptibility to and relapse of mosquito-borne diseases are frequently age-dependent.

Comparison of Ten Surrogate Insulin Resistance and Obesity Markers to Identify Metabolic Syndrome in Mexican Adults.

Metabolic syndrome () is a group of clinical traits directly linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, whose prevalence has been rising nationally and internationally. We aimed to evaluate ten known and novel surrogate markers of insulin resistance and obesity to identify in Mexican adults. The present cross-sectional study analyzed 10575 participants from ENSANUT-2018.

Modulator Effect of AT1 Receptor Knockdown on THP-1 Macrophage Proinflammatory Activity.

Unlabelled: Currently, it is known that angiotensin II (AngII) induces inflammation, and an ATR blockade has anti-inflammatory effects. The use of an AT receptor antagonist promotes the inhibition of the secretion of multiple proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages, as well as a decrease in the concentration of reactive oxygen species. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of AT receptor gene silencing on the modulation of cytokines (e.

Ozone and peroxone disinfection of Toxocara canis eggs in water.

Water pollution in developing countries continues to be a major health problem due to various anthropological activities that contribute to the spread of many parasitic diseases, including those caused by helminths. The aim of this study is to explore the ability of ozone and peroxone to disinfect drinking water contaminated samples with Toxocara canis eggs. The oxidants used were ozone and ozone-hydrogen peroxide combination.

The influence of gender and temephos exposure on community participation in dengue prevention: a compartmental mathematical model.

Background: The use of temephos, the most common intervention for the chemical control of Aedes aegypti over the last half century, has disappointing results in control of the infection. The footprint of Aedes and the diseases it carries have spread relentlessly despite massive volumes of temephos. Recent advances in community participation show this might be more effective and sustainable for the control of the dengue vector.
