Muscle tissue adaptations of high-altitude natives to training in chronic hypoxia or acute normoxia
(American Physiological Society, 1996)
Abstract.
Twenty healthy high-altitude natives, residents of La Paz, Bolivia (3,600 m), participated in 6 wk of endurance exercise training on bicycle ergometers, 5 times/wk, 30 min/session, as previously described in ...
Coca chewing for exercise : hormonal and metabolic responses of nonhabitual chewers
(Journal of Applied Physiology, 1996)
Abstract.
To determine the effects of acute coca use on the hormonal and metabolic responses to exercise, 12 healthy nonhabitual coca users were submitted twice to steady-state exercise (∼75% maximal O2 uptake). On one ...
Enzymatic variability and phylogenetic relatedness among Triatoma infestans, T. platensis, T. delpontei and T. rubrovaria
(Heredity, 1996)
Four congeneric species of triatomine bugs, Triatoma platensis, T. delpontei, T. rubrovaria and T. infestans, were examined by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. These four species are distributed sympatrically throughout ...
Circulation and behaviour of two major clones of Trypanosoma cruzi in Bolivian cycles
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1996-11)
On the basis of isoenzyme studies and population genetic interpretation (Tibayrenc et al. Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 83 : 115-119, 1986), we have previously designed a molecular identification tool of two major clones of ...
Current spread of Triatoma infestans at the expense of Triatoma sordida in Bolivia
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1996)
Triatoma infestans is the most widespread synanthropic species of Triatominae and the most important vector of Chagas disease in South America. The progressive geographical expansion of this species from its silvatic focus ...
Zinc and duration of treatment of severe malnutrition
(Lancet, 1995-04-22)
In their report of the treatment of severe malnutrition, Khanum and colleagues (Dec 24/31, p 1728) consider providing "additional micronutrients in the future" and in their response, Brewster and Manary (Feb 18, p 453 are ...
PCR-based diagnosis for Chagas' disease in Bolivian children living in an active transmission area : comparison with conventional serological and parasitological diagnosis
(Parasitology, 1997)
Abstract.
A large field study has been performed in the Cochabamba region of Bolivia with the aim of comparing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with other diagnostic methods for Chagas' disease. The amplification of ...

(Cuadernos, 1996)
Resumen.
Se realiza el estudio de cincuenta pacientes internados en los servicios de Neurología y neurocirugía del Hospital de Clínicas Universitario de la ciudad de La Paz-Bolivia durante los años de 1994 y 1995 con ...
A Randomized Trial of Amphotericin B alone or in combination with Itraconazole in the treatment of mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1995)
A randomized trial of amphotericin B (AB) alone and in combination with oral itraconazole (IZ) is carried out in two groups of 10 mucocutaneous leishmaniasis patients from Bolivia and Perú.
AB+IZ combination is no better ...
Lactate and epinephrine during exercise in altitude natives
(American Physiological Society, 1996)
Abstract.
We tested the hypothesis that the reported low blood lactate accumulation ([La]) during exercise in altitude-native humans is refractory to hypoxianormoxia transitions by investigating whether acute changes in ...
