Total lung capacity in Andean highlanders
(American Journal of Human Biology, 1994)
ABSTRACT.
Total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), and vital capacity (VC), as well as related measures of pulmonary function, were assessed in a sample of 39 male and 23 female native highlanders of Aymara ...
A colonizaçao intradomiciliar por triatomíneos altera a história natural do Trypanosoma cruzi
([s.n.], 1994)
As variações isoenzimáticas em Trypanosoma cruzi parecem ser devidas à expansão clonal do parasita sob diferentes condições de seleção. Mesmo assim, os padrões eletroforéticos de isoenzimas podem ser agrupados em zimodemas, ...

Extracts from leaves and stem bark of Peschiera van heurkii (Muell. Arg.) L. Allorge (syn. Tabernaemontana van heurkii Muell. Arg., Apocynaceae) have been assayed for antileishmanial and antibacterial activities. ...
Impairment of monocytic function during Trypanosoma cruzi infection
(Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology, 1994-11)
During acute infection, Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease, causes immunosuppression by mechanisms that are not fully delineated. Since mononuclear phagocytes are major target cells in trypanosomiasis, ...
In vitro lymphocyte-differentiating effects of thymulin (Zn-FTS) on lymphocyte subpopulations of severely malnourished chidren
(Am J Clin Nutr, 1994)
ABSTRACT. This work investigates how thymic dysfunction contributes to the depression of cell-mediated immunity in protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). In Bolivian children hospitalized for severe PEM, the size of the thymus ...
High correlation between Chagas' disease serology and PCR-based detection of Trypanosoma cruzi kinetoplast DNA in Bolivian children living in an endemic area
(FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994)
Abstract. The detection of Trypanosoma cruzi kinetoplast DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification is a potentially powerful tool for the parasitological diagnosis of Chagas’ disease. We have applied this technique ...
Cytogenetic and isozymic comparisons of two laboratory lines of Glossina palpalis gambiensis
(Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 1994)
Abstract.
The genetics of two laboratory colonies of Glossina palpalis gambiensis were characterized by C-banding and isoenzyme studies. The colonies, derived from flies collected in the same locality, had different ...
