Comparative study of a broad qPCR panel and centrifugal flotation ... - Parasites & Vectors

To the authors' knowledge, this represents the first study to compare the performance of ZCF to this commercially available broad-spectrum qPCR panel for intestinal parasite identification in a collection of fecal samples from privately owned dogs and cats. When comparing the overall performance to detect parasite load, frequency of parasite-detected samples, and ability to detect co-infection, qPCR detected a statistically significant greater frequency compared to ZCF. This difference was especially striking when evaluating the number of co-infections, where qPCR identified nearly three times as many. Agreement calculations demonstrate the overall ability to detect parasite burden and parasite-detected samples between ZCF and qPCR to be substantial however also highlights the specific parasites where ZCF had a reduced to absent ability to detect ( G. duodenalis , Trichuris spp., Cystoisospora spp., T. blagburni , and T. gondii) where agreement was only slight to fair. These

Therapy Isn't Fixing America's Mental Health Crisis - TIME

Image
T he U.S. has reached peak therapy. Counseling has become fodder for hit books, podcasts, and movies. Professional athletes, celebrities, and politicians routinely go public with their mental health struggles. And everyone is talking—correctly or not—in the language of therapy, peppering conversations with references to gaslighting, toxic people, and boundaries. All this mainstream awareness is reflected in the data too: by the latest federal estimates, about one in eight U.S. adults now takes an antidepressant and one in five has recently received some kind of mental-health care, an increase of almost 15 million people in treatment since 2002. Even in the recent past—from 2019 to 2022—use of mental-health services jumped by almost 40% among millions of U.S. adults with commercial insurance, according to a recent study in JAMA Health Forum. But some

Worm discovered living in woman's brain in world's first case: 'It's alive!' - New York Post

Image
Your nightmare this evening comes to you from Australia, where a woman kept returning to the hospital for a range of symptoms — until doctors found a worm living in her brain. Since 2021, doctors had been treating the 64-year-old woman with steroids and other drugs for pneumonia, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry cough, fever and night sweats. By 2022, she was also showing signs of depression and forgetfulness, so doctors ordered an MRI scan of her brain, which revealed abnormalities that led doctors to recommend surgery. "But the neurosurgeon certainly didn't go in there thinking they would find a wriggling worm," Dr. Sanjaya Senanayake, an infectious disease specialist in Canberra, told the Guardian. Senanayake was brought into the medical drama when one of the surgeons called him and said, "Oh my God, you wouldn't believe what I just found in this lady's brain — and it's alive." Docto

From sharp butt pains to period poos: 5 lesser-known menstrual ... - The Conversation France

Period pain is a common symptom of the menstrual cycle, affecting about 70% of young women – but it's far from the only symptom. Here are five lesser-known symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle – and what's going on in your body to cause them. Read more: Considering using IVF to have a baby? Here's what you need to know 1. Bowel disturbances (period poos) Some people experience disturbances in their bowel habits leading up to their period and this commonly manifests as diarrhoea. This happens because when you menstruate, your body releases a special chemical called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins help the uterus to cramp, which helps push menstrual blood out of the uterus and into the vagina so it can leave the body. When you get period pain (especially if a person has endometriosis) a nerve in the back called the dorsal root ganglion is activated. This can cause a range of symptoms, including back

Mayo Clinic Q&A: What is the difference between cardiac arrest and ... - Rochester Post Bulletin

Image
DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I've heard about several people who have experienced sudden cardiac arrest. What is cardiac arrest? And how is it different from a heart attack? What do you do for someone who has this condition? ANSWER: Cardiac arrest, or sudden cardiac arrest as it is more formally known, is a medical emergency. Think of it as a problem with the heart's electrical activity. This synchronized electrical activity allows the heart to fill and pump blood normally. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen unexpectedly and quickly, and the heart stops working. It's not the same as a heart attack, but it is just as critical that treatment occurs rapidly. Cardiac arrest is when the heart cannot fulfill its duties, such as pumping oxygenated blood around the body to reach critical areas such as the brain and the rest of the body. It is sometimes called "sudden" because it seems to happen without warning. A person suddenly

What's Eating You? 5 Fascinating Facts About Parasites - UVA Today

The definition, Gibson said, often depends on who the host is and which scientist you're asking. Gibson recently discussed five wild facts about parasites with UVA Today. 1. Parasitism is the most common survival strategy in the world. In terms of body count, beetles constitute about a quarter of the 7.7 million known species on our planet, about half of which are themselves parasitic. "There's this famous quote by evolutionary biologist J.B.S. Haldane saying, 'It would appear that God has an inordinate fondness for stars and beetles,'" Gibson said. They're also very often playing host to houseguests themselves. "We know that for pretty much every beetle species, there are at least two or more tiny little parasitic wasps. These wasps lay their eggs inside the beetles and eat the beetles from the inside.'" Numbers matter, because too many of a parasite, which can deplete an organism's vitality – even kill it – c
