Total lung capacity in young highlanders of Aymara ancestry
(American Journal of Physical Anthroplogy, 1994)
ABSTRACT.
Total lung capacity (TLC) and its components, including residual volume (RV) and vital capacity (VC), are described in a sample of 164 male and 143 female youths of Aymara ancestry (10.0-19.9 years) who were ...
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 ...
Effect of chronic hypoxia and socioeconomic status on the maximal oxygen uptake of 10- to 12-year-old Bolivian boys
(J. Sports Med., 1994)
Abstract.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of altitude and socioeconomic status on the maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max) of prepubertal Bolivian boys. The subjects were 143 prepubertal boys (10 to 11.5 years ...
Habitual physical activity in 10- to 12-year-old Bolivian boys : the relation between altitude and socioeconomic status
(J. Sports Med., 1994)
Abstract.
This study describes habitual physical activity (HPA) of Bolivian boys living at different altitudes and form different socioeconomic status. The boys were living at high altitude (HA) in La Paz (4000 m) and at ...
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 ...
Study of thymus and thymocytes in Bolivian preschool children during recovery from severe protein energy malnutrition
(Journal of Nutritional Immunology, 1994)
ABSTRACT. Impaired cellular immunity in malnourished children is well known but rarely recovery of immunity was assumed during nutritional rehabilitation. Nutritional Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (NAIDS) was directly ...
In vitro activity and mutagenicity of bisbenzylisoquinolines and quinones against Trypanosoma cruzi Tripomastigotes
(PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH, 1994)
Abstract. The accidental transmission of Chagas' disease by donor blood is recognized as a serious problem in the Latin America. This paper describes the screening of natural products as possible new chemoprophylactic ...
Estudio de la interacción entre hibridos de macrófagos humanos y Trypanosoma cruzi
(RADMENT, 1994)
Resumen. Trypanosoma cruzi causa inmunosupresión durante la infección mediante mecanismos que no están totalmente esclarecidos. Dado que fagocitos mononucleares son las principales células en la Trypanosomiasis, nosotros ...
