Individual Differences In The Forced Swimming Test And The Effect Of Environmental Enrichment: Searching For An Interaction
(Neuroscience 265(1):95-107, 2014-02-05)
Animals with low and high immobility in the forced
swimming test (FST) differ in a number of neurobehavioral
factors. A growing body of evidence suggests that the exposure
to enriched environments mediates a number ...
A review of the genus Rickettsia in Central America
(2018)
In this paper, we present a historical review of rickettsiosis in Central America and also the most recent findings of Rickettsia in ectoparasites. All countries of Central America have records of rickettsiosis. Regarding ...
The control and prevention of diarrheal diseases at the national level
(1986)
Dr. Rohde told us this morning that diarrhea and poor diet interact in a vicious circle leading to malnutrition and frequently maiming and killing infants and young children. It appears certain that diarrhea has deleterious ...
Association of interleukin-1B and interleukin-1RN polymorphisms with gastric cancer in a high-risk population of Costa Rica
(Clinical and Experimental Medicine 5 p.169-176, 2005-09-13)
Several risk factors have been associated with gastric cancer, among them Helicobacter pylori infection. This bacterium yields inflammation, the degree of which depends on the bacterial strain and the severity of the host ...
Proteomic and toxicological profiling of the venom of Bothrocophias campbelli, a pitviper species from Ecuador and Colombia
(Toxicon 90, 2014)
Detailed snake venom proteomes for nearly a hundred species in different pitviper genera have accumulated using ‘venomics’ methodologies. However, venom composition for some lineages remains poorly known. Bothrocophias ...
Two phospholipase A2 inhibitors from the plasma of Cerrophidion (Bothrops) godmani which selectively inhibit two different group-II phospholipase A2 myotoxins from its own venom: isolation, molecular cloning and biological properties
(2000-03-15)
Myotoxic phospholipases A2 (PLA2s; group II) account for most of the muscle-tissue damage that results from envenomation by viperid snakes. In the venom of the Godman's viper (Cerrophidion godmani, formerly Bothrops godmani), ...
Diagnóstico y Control de la Hipertensión Arterial en el Adulto Mayor (comparación urbano/rural)
(1999-09)
La Hipertensión Arterial (HTA) es una entermedad crónica de alta prevalencia y alta morbimortalidad. En Costa Rica no existe ningún estudio sobre su prevalencia a nivel nacional, solamente en grupos específicos de población ...
Ooquistes de Cryptosporidium sp. (Apicomplexa: Cryptosporidiiadae) y presencia del C. parvum en niños de Costa Rica
(1996)
From 1982 to 1987 infant and preschool Costa Rican children with acute diarrhea were studied. Cryptospo ridium (Tyzzer 1912) and other agents of diarrhea were invetigated. Criptosporydium oocysts were diagnosed in Giemsa ...
Tissue Damage and Inflammation Induced by Snake Venoms
(2014-03-27)
Some characteristics of the local tissue damage and inflammatory reactions
induced by snake venoms were analyzed in a mouse model. Tissue damage was
studied by intravital, light, and electron microscopic techniques, and ...
Electrophoretic and immunochemical studies of Micrurus venoms
(1994)
The electrophoretic mobilities of venom components from 15 Micrurus species were studied by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The venoms showed species-specific protein patterns under native (PAGE) or denaturing (urea-PAGE) ...
