DICENTRINE PURIFIED FROM THE LEAVES OF OCOTEA PUBERULA CONTROLS THE INTRACELLULAR SPREAD OF L. (L.) AMAZONENSIS AND L. (V.) BRAZILIENSIS AMASTIGOTES AND HAS THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY AS A TOPICAL TREATMENT IN EXPERIMENTAL CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS

Leishmaniasis, a complex disease caused by protozoal parasites of the genus Leishmania, presents various clinical forms, particularly a cutaneous clinical form.Treatment is typically performed with pentavalent antimonial and amphotericin B, both of which have severe side effects that hinder patient compliance.This emphasizes the need for the develo

Abstract Background The literature describes the obstacles to sufficient care faced by people with dementia and their informal caregivers.Although factors influencing access and utilisation are frequently studied, the body of knowledge lacks an overview of aspects related to influence.The frequently used Behavioural Model of Kitchen Caddy Health Ca

Background: Standard therapy of atypical atrial flutter (AFL) aims at deploying ablation lines between two non-conducting anatomical structures, thereby creating a line of block within the re-entry circuit.We have developed an ablation strategy, where we incorporate voltage information as a surrogate for atrial fibrosis from the electro-anatomical

In this paper, a noble nonintrusive three-dimensional (3D) face modeling system for random-profile-based 3D face recognition is presented.Although recent two-dimensional (2D) face recognition systems can achieve a reliable recognition rate under certain conditions, their performance is limited by internal and external changes, such as illumination
