(Immunology Letters, 1991)Summary. Five sera from Bolivian individuals chronically infected by Trypanosoma cruzi, and suffering an active Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis metastasic mucocutaneous lesion were characterized. They reacted with ... -
The activity of 2-substituted quinoline alkaloids in BALB/c mice infected with Leishmanis donovani
(Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1994)Abstract. Potent antileishmanial activity has recently been described in vivo when certain 2-substituted quinoline alkaloids are administered to mice with cutaneous leishmaniasis. We now report the ahtileishmanial activity ... -

The effect of high altitude on platelet counts, thrombopoietin and erythropoietin levels in young Bolivian airmen visiting the Andes
(Int J Biometeorol, 1999)Abstract. Recognition of thrombosis as a complication of exposure to high altitude has stimulated interest in rheological changes resulting from hypobaric hypoxia. Previous studies of platelet counts at high altitude have ... -
The effects of high altitude on pulmonary hypertension of cardiopathies, at La Paz, Bolivia

The effects of smoking on a high altitude population. (La Paz, Bolivia, 3600m or 12,200ft)
(Tobacco and Health, 1990)Barometric pressure (PB) decreases with increasing a altitude. Since oxygen concentration is about 21% in the air of the whole atmosphere, its partial pressure is also 21% of PB. At the altitude of La Paz (3600)m or ... -

The impact of altitude on the sleep of young elite soccer players (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-01-28)Abstract. Background: Altitude training is used by elite athletes to improve sports performance, but it may also disrupt sleep. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of 2 weeks at high altitude on the sleep ... -
The importance of socioeconomic and nutritional conditions rather than altitude on the physical growth of prepubertal Andean highland boys
(Annals of Human Biology, 1994)Summary. The aim of this work was to study the effect of hypoxic stress on the physical growth of prepubertal Bolivian boys (10-11.5 years of age) of the same socioeconomic and nutritional conditions. The subjects consisted ... -
The interest of immunoprecipitation tests in the immunological diagnosis of Chagas'disease

The microdistribution of isoenzymic strains of Trypanosoma cruzi in southern Bolivia; new isoenzyme profiles and further arguments against Mendelian sexuality
(Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1984)Abstract. 132 Trypanosoma cruzi stocks were collected in southern Bolivia (99 stocks in Tupiza, 33 in Tarija), and were characterized using five enzymes (six loci).
