An analysis of published literature data on the relationship of parasitic diseases and oncogenesis is carried out. Current knowledge about the association of parasitic infections and cancer formation has revealed several carcinogenic mechanisms, but the severity of the relationship between parasites and cancer formation (except for schistosome, opisthorchis and clonorchis) should be confirmed in future experimental and population studies.

AbstractRecent measurements of snow accumulation on undulating surfaces around “Byrd station”, Antarctica indicate that the undulations are tending to be filled in. These results are discussed in the light of current knowledge of the origin and migration of such features.

Parasitic infections remain prevalent, particularly in the developing world. However, increasing global travel poses a risk of contracting parasitic infections while travelling through endemic areas and therefore all medical practitioners should remain aware of parasitic infections and investigate for them when appropriate. Increased understanding of the relationship of parasites with the immune system has led to some progress with therapeutics but this still lags behind other infectious diseases. In this chapter we outline the musculoskeletal manifestations of parasitic infection and updated therapeutic approaches to these infections. The burden of disease may change with increasing use of potent biologic immunosuppressants and global travel, as seen in HIV-related immunosuppression, but as yet no significant increased incidence of parasitic infection has been reported within 'rheumatic diseases' cohorts around the world.

Gastrointestinal infection is the highest cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries with mortality caused by diarrhea as high as 56%. Parasitic infections spread throughout the world and have been shown to be one of the causes of morbidity and disease in areas that are thought to be beneficial for the growth of intestinal parasitic infections. Giardia lamblia is a parasite that has flagellates that attack mammals, including humans, and is considered the most common cause of diarrhea caused by protozoa around the world. Blastocystis hominis is a parasite that is also common in humans, and infects several animals, such as birds, reptiles and anthropods. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between hand hygiene and parasitic contamination in students at Islamic Boarding School X in Surabaya. This study was an observational study with a cross sectional research design. This research was conducted at one of the Islamic Boarding Schools in Surabaya. The study sample was Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students who received 10 people who participated 7-13 years. The sampling technique in this study was nonprobabilty sampling. The results of the study obtained Rho Spearman value was p = 0.040. The conclusion is that there is a significant relationship between hand hygiene and intestinal contamination in students' feces at the Islamic Boarding School X in Surabaya. Suggestions that can be given are Islamic Boarding Schools which provide guidance and guidance on clean and healthy life to students, teachers and food managers.

The aim of the study is to isolation and diagnose types of external parasites anddiagnosis in some family members Columbidae and seasonal distribution of theseparasites and the effect of temperature and humidity on the different infection rates are alsoexamining the relationship of sex and incidence of external parasitesStudy was conducted to detect parasitic infections in some types of foreign familyerythematosus where The results revealed that infestation of pigeons with one type of fliesPseudolynchia canariensis with total infestation rate was 3.33%, the highest infestation ratewas in March (13.04%) and the lowest infestation rate was in December (3.12%), this recordis consider a first record in Baghdad.The results revealed that the pigeons were infested with two Lice species, Columbicolacolumbae and Campanulotes bidentatus caompare in a rate 44.66%, 1.66% respectively withtotal rate 46.33%, the highest infestation rate was 68.57% in December and the lowest rate16.66% in August lowest was in August 15.38%, without any significant differencesrecorded.Diagnoses of one type of soft tick Argas persicus that taken from pigeon nests whichchecked – up with total rate was 35.71% (infestation with nymphs and adults) and the peakinfestation recorded in May 100% and the lowest was in March and July at a rate of 33.33%.The total rate for infestation of pigeon with larvae of tick was 2.33% and the highestinfestation was 8.33% in May and the lowest rate 2.43% in April.

It is recognized that in cattle there are two physiological, yet morphologically different, forms of corpora lutea (CL): homogeneous ones and those with a cavity. Because of its resemblance to a luteal cyst, a corpus luteum with a cavity may be a significant diagnostic problem. In this article, the author aims to present essential historical and current knowledge of this form of the corpus luteum, from the first analyses in which it was discovered, through extensive CL population studies of the late twentieth century, to theories prevailing in recent years. The conception rates reported by authors cited in this text are compared for both homogeneous and cavitary CL. The article also gives the percentage of cavitary CL in the population, their mean size and concentrations of progesterone secreted. The relationship between the occurrence of CL with a cavity and cows’ fertility is described. The article also presents criteria suggested for the size classification of cavitary CL and the most important information about the occurrence of cavitary CL.

Exercise not only produces beneficial effects on muscle itself via various molecular pathways, but also mediates the interaction between muscles and other organs in an autocrine/paracrine manner through myokines, which plays a positive role in maintaining overall health. Irisin, an exercise-derived myokine, has been found involved in the regulation of some cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between irisin and cardiovascular health is not fully elucidated and there are some divergences on the regulation of irisin by exercise. In this review, we present the current knowledge on the origin and physiology of irisin, describe the regulation of irisin by acute and chronic exercises, and discuss the divergences of the related research results. Importantly, we discuss the role of irisin as a biomarker in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and describe its treatment and molecular mechanism in some cardiovascular diseases. It is expected that irisin will be used as a therapeutic agent to combat cardiovascular diseases or other disorders caused by inactivity in the near future.

This monograph, one of Charles C Thomas' American Lecture Series, is written mainly from a neurosurgical point of view. Part I, almost one-third of the book, is a careful consideration of this neoplasm against the background of our current knowledge of neoplasia in general. In addition, the relationship of medulloblastoma to the other neuroectodermal neoplasms as well as to leptomeningeal sarcomas is reviewed. Part II of the book is a review of the clinical aspects of this disease. Material was collected from the University of Chicago Clinics, Yale University and the Lahey Clinic, as well as from the Brain Tumor Registry at New Haven.

During the summers of 1951–53, small body-cavity tags were inserted in 55,547 juvenile (1-year) herring on the lower west coast of Vancouver Island. Fifty of these tags were recoved from the catches of adult fish between 1953–54 and 1956–57. These recoveries indicated homing by sub-district (the region occupied by an adult population) to be 52% after two years at large, and 64% after three years. Comparable data for herring tagged as adults showed 82% and 81% homing respectively. The greater tendency for the immature fish to mix with other adult populations may result from the fact that these fish join adult schools when the latter are considerably dispersed and intermixed on the offshore feeding grounds. Thus, population studies linking the juvenile and adult stages may require the use of a larger basic unit of area than that encompassing the distribution of the adult population. The dimensions of this unit will depend on the local potential for intermixing of adult populations at the time of recruitment.
