Revisiting Metal Toxicity in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Stroke: Therapeutic Potential
(2014-12-31)Excessive accumulation of pro-oxidant metals, observed in affected brain regions, has consistently been implicated as a contributor to the brain pathology including neurodegenerative diseases and acute injuries such as ... -
Revisiting metal toxicity in neurodegenerative diseases and stroke: Therapeutic potential.
(2015-01-23)Excessive accumulation of pro-oxidant metals, observed in affected brain regions, has consistently been implicated as a ontributor to the brain pathology including neurodegenerative diseases and acute injuries such as ... -
Role of a2b1 integrins in mediating cell shape on microtextured titanium surfaces
(2014-05-07)Surface microroughness plays an important role in determining osteoblast behavior on titanium. Previous studies have shown that osteoblast differentiation on microtextured titanium substrates is dependent on alpha-2 beta-1 ... -
Rough titanium alloys regulate osteoblast production of angiogenic factors
(2013-05-14)Multiple biomaterials are clinically available to spine surgeons for performing interbody fusion. Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is used frequently for lumbar spine interbody fusion, but alternative materials are also used, ... -
Screening and evaluation of antiparasitic and in vitro anticancer activities of Panamanian endophytic fungi
(2011-06-14)Parasitic infections are major causes of human chronic diseases in most countries of the tropics. The parasites include protozoa and helminths, infect billions of people, and the resulting diseases cause debilitating ... -
Screening and evaluation of antiparasitic and in vitro anticancer activities of Panamanian endophytic fungi
(2011-03-30)Many compounds produced by fungi have relevant pharmaceutical applications. The purpose of this study was to collect and isolate endophytic fungi from different regions of Panama and then to test their potential therapeutic ... -
Separation of Plasmodium falciparum Late Stage-infected Erythrocytes by Magnetic Means
(2023-03-02)Unlike other Plasmodium species, P. falciparum can be cultured in the lab, which facilitates its study 1. While the parasitemia achieved can reach the ≈40% limit, the investigator usually keeps the percentage at around ... -

Serum samples can be substituted by plasma samples for the diagnosis of paratuberculosis
(2013-01-01)Employing plasma samples rather than serum samples for serological paratuberculosis diagnosis is practical, especially when bovine TB is assessed in the same cattle herd with the gamma interferon bovine avian (IFN- BA) ... -
Short Report: Anopheles darlingi (Diptera: Culicidae) in Panama
(2009-02-11)We report Anopheles darlingi in Darien Province in eastern Panama. Polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles of the single copy nuclear white gene and sequence comparisons confirmed the ... -
Simplified Model to Survey Tuberculosis Transmission in Countries Without Systematic Molecular Epidemiology Programs
(2019-03-01)Systematic molecular/genomic epidemiology studies for tuberculosis surveillance cannot be implemented in many countries. We selected Panama as a model for an alternative strategy. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive ... -

Socioeconomic and demographic predictors of resident knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding arthropod-borne viruses in Panama
(2018-09-18)Background: We sought to identify if socioeconomic and demographic factors play a role in resident knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika in order to inform effective management procedures ... -
Species Composition and Distribution of Adult Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) in Panama
(2008-09-01)Anopheles (Diptera: Culicidae) species composition and distribution were studied using human landing catch data over a 35-yr period in Panama. Mosquitoes were collected from 77 sites during 228 Þeld trips carried out by ... -
Storage in ultra-low-temperature decreases the levels of IgM anticardiolipin antibody in serum samples from tuberculosis patients
(2014-06-01)The evaluation of novel tuberculosis (TB) biomarkers relies on analysis of previously stored sample sets. We aimed to determine the effect of storage temperature on serum IgM anticardiolipin antibody levels in samples from ... -
Studies on Copper and Aβ1-16-Induced Conformational Changes in CAG/CTG Trinucleotide Repeats Sequence
(2017-01-01)DNA conformation and stability are critical for the normal cell functions, which control many cellular processes in life, such as replication, transcription, DNA repair, etc. The accumulation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) and ... -
A systematic account of the genus Plagiostoma (Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales) based on morphology, host-associations, and a four-gene phylogeny
(2014-05-27)Members of the genus Plagiostoma inhabit leaves, stems, twigs, and branches of woody and herbaceous plants predominantly in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. An account of all known species of Plagiostoma including ...
