Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractRelapsing Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in a Patient Treated with HumiraErik Otte, Mikael Christiansen, Eskild PetersenLeishmanias is an anthropozoonosis caused by the Leishmania protozoa. The manifestation of the disease varies depending on the type of Leishmania and the immunestatus of the patient. Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α antagonists were introduced in the late 1990s and have had a marked impact on rheumatic diseases. Tumor necrosis factor plays an important role in the immune systems defense against … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 9 Jun 2015 · 6,881 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTherapeutic Effects of Highly Purified De-Glycosylated Gcmaf in the Immunotherapy of Patients with Chronic DiseasesLynda Thyer, Emma Ward, Rodney Smith et al.The de-Glycosylated vitamin D binding protein is a powerful Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF) that shows multiple biological effects that could be exploited in the immunotherapy of tumours, viral infections and autism. Here we report the observation of a series of clinical cases describing the results obtained administering highly purified GcMAF to patients with diverse types of chronic diseases. These are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 11,858 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mathematical Modeling Approach to Characterize Hormesis, Caloric Restriction and Toxicity in Mortality Data from Toxicity StudiesPatricia J. NeafseyThe mortality of a population reflects the combined effects of natural aging with environmental insults (e.g. toxicant exposure, caloric restriction, over feeding, infections, etc.). No single endpoint, such as carcinogenesis, completely describes toxicant-induced effects in laboratory animals. Mathematical models of mortality and time-dependent exposure to toxicants can yield indices of net injury from all causes. With careful manipulation of diet … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,160 accessesView PDF Cite
