Efficacy of Omega-5 NanoPSO Treatment in the Hippocampus, Through Antioxidant Mechanisms, After an Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury, in Murine Model.

Stroke is the third cause of death worldwide and a health problem, and current therapy continues to be very poor. It promotes an alteration associated with excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, and inflammatory processes, exacerbating the damage in the brain. Although cortical areas are the most affected by stroke, the hippocampus can be impacted in the long term through the pathways it connects with these areas, which are associated further with motor alterations; this encourages the search for new therapeutic approaches.

Coinfection of and Other Microorganisms: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the intracellular protozoan , which has infected a third of the global population. Immunocompromised individuals and children with congenital disorders are most likely to be impacted by toxoplasmosis, and accurate diagnosis is essential. Toxoplasmosis is associated with HIV, schizophrenia, and diabetes.

Association of Toxoplasmosis and COVID-19 in a MexicanPopulation.

SARS-CoV-2 is the causal agent of COVID-19; the first report of SARS-CoV-2 infection was in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. This virus has since caused the largest pandemic in history, and the number of deaths and infections has been significant. Nevertheless, the development of vaccines has helped to reduce both deaths and infections.

The Impact of Biosecurity on Biological and Psychosocial Risks for Health Workers of COVID Hospitals in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

Background: Some data support that health care workers (HCWs) must have sufficient and good quality personal protective equipment (PPE) and the necessary training to manage COVID patients to avoid contagion that can lead to death. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between biosafety on the biological risks of SARS-CoV-2 and risks of fatigue, anxiety, or depression in health workers who care for patients in COVID hospitals, from September 2020 to August 2021.

Material And Methods: The questionnaire used in this study (Q6S64I) consisted of 6 spheres: Sociodemographic aspects, working conditions; Personal Protection Equipment; safety and health; training and knowledge about COVID-19, the form of transport, and personal health conditions.

Prevalence of Measured by Western Blot, ELISA and DNA Analysis, by PCR, in Cats of Western Mexico.

is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis in humans and animals. The sexual reproductive cycle of takes place in the small intestine of felines, the definitive hosts. In the final part of the sexual cycle, forms oocysts in infected cats.

17β-estradiol modulates the expression of hormonal receptors on THP-1 T. gondii-infected macrophages and monocytes in an AKT and ERK-dependent manner.

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a parasite common in pregnancy. Monocytes and macrophages are a significant immunologic barrier against T.

Effect of 17β-Estradiol, Progesterone, and Tamoxifen on Neurons Infected with In Vitro.

() is the causal agent of toxoplasmosis, which produces damage in the central nervous system (CNS). -CNS interaction is critical for the development of disease symptoms. can form cysts in the CNS; however, neurons are more resistant to this infection than astrocytes.

Toxoplasmosis Is More Frequent in Schizophrenia Patients Than in the General Population in Mexico and Is Not Associated with More Severe Course of Schizophrenia Measured with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale.

Toxoplasmosis is a disease, which was discovered in 1908, caused by the intracellular parasite . infects neuronal, glial, and muscle cells, and chronic infections are characterized by the presence of cysts, in the brain and muscle cells, formed by bradyzoites. is capable of synthesizing L-DOPA, a precursor of dopamine.

Kinematic Locomotion Changes in C57BL/6 Mice Infected with Strain ME49.

Chronic infection with the intracellular parasite produces an accumulation of cysts in the brain and muscle, causing tissue damage. The cysts in the brain motor regions affect some kinematic locomotion parameters in the host. To localize the brain cysts from and study the changes in kinematic locomotion in C57BL/6 mice.

Occult hepatitis B in kidney transplants recipients and donors from Western Mexico.

Background: Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) is defined as the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in serum and/or liver from HBsAg-negative subjects. Our aim was to determine OBI frequency in serum and genomic DNA in patients undergoing renal transplant and their cognate donors in a selected population from Western Mexico.

Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 94 donors and their cognate recipients (188 participants) before kidney transplantation.

Hormonal modulation of Toxoplasma gondii infection: Regulation of hormonal receptors and cytokine production in THP-1 cells.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an obligate intracellular protozoan able to infect humans and it is common in pregnant women. During pregnancy and lactation, there are changes in the concentration of 17β-estradiol (E2), progesterone (Prg), and prolactin (PRL).

Enteroparasitism and Risk Factors Associated with Clinical Manifestations in Children and Adults of Jalisco State in Western Mexico.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with intestinal parasites in the population of San Juan Cosala, Jalisco, Mexico.

Methods: A total of 277 samples from 104 participants were analysed using direct smear, flotation, formaldehyde/ethyl acetate, and modified Kinyoun's acid-fast stain methods. The Graham method was applied only for samples from children under 12 years of age for the diagnosis of

Does Toxoplasma gondii infection impact liver transplantation outcomes? A systematic review.

Purpose: Approximately one-third of the world's population has Toxoplasma gondii infection, and one of the main routes of transmission is organ transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Toxoplasma infection on liver transplantation patients.

Methodology: We searched PubMed, Lilacs, Medline, Science direct, Scielo, Ebsco, Springer, Wiley, Ovid and Google Scholar for reports published up to June 2017, and a systematic review was performed.

The role of hormones on Toxoplasma gondii infection: a systematic review.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is the causal agent of toxoplasmosis in which one third of the world's population has been infected. In pregnant women, it may cause abortion and severe damage to the fetal central nervous system. During pregnancy, the prevalence of toxoplasmosis increases throughout the second and third quarter of gestation, simultaneously progesterone and 17β-estradiol also increase.

Congenital toxoplasmosis: specific IgG subclasses in mother/newborn pairs.

Anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies of all IgG subclasses were studied in mother/newborn pairs. IgG1 in the mothers and IgG3 in the newborns were related to offspring clinical problems; IgG2 and IgG3 in the babies were markers of vertical transmission, and IgG4 in mothers or children were associated to clinical problems. IgG subclasses may be markers of congenital infection or clinical outcome.
