      Prata, João Antonio; Prata Junior, João Antonio [UNIFESP]; Correia, Dalmo; Prata, Aluizio R. (Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2000-12-01)
      Purpose: To prove, also at Água Comprida (MG), the higher incidence of anisocoria and lower IOP levels in chagasic patients formerly detected at Mambai (GO), both endemic Chagas' areas. Material and methods: In a prospective, ...

    • Are idiopathic and chagasic achalasia two different diseases? 

      Herbella, FAM; Oliveira, DRCF; Del Grande, J. C. (Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2004-03-01)
      Although Chagas' disease esophagopaty and idiopathic (primary) achalasia share several similarities, however, some differences between the two diseases have been noticed. To evaluate if treatment options and their results ...

    • BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice Cytokine Responses to Trypanosoma cruzi Infection Are Independent of Parasite Strain Infectivity 

      Ferreira, Bianca L. [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Eden Ramalho [UNIFESP]; Brito, Marlon Vilela de [UNIFESP]; Salu, Bruno Ramos [UNIFESP]; Oliva, Maria Luiza Vilela [UNIFESP]; Mortara, Renato Arruda [UNIFESP]; Orikaza, Cristina Mary [UNIFESP] (Frontiers Media Sa, 2018)
      Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease, which affects 6-7 million people worldwide. Different strains of T. cruzi present specific genotypic and phenotypic characteristics that affect the host-pathogen ...

    • Biochemical characterization of a protein tyrosine phosphatase from Trypanosoma cruzi involved in metacyclogenesis and cell invasion 

      Gallo, Gloria [UNIFESP]; Ramos, Thiago Cesar Prata [UNIFESP]; Tavares, Fernanda; Rocha, Antonio Augusto [UNIFESP]; Machi, Emerson; Schenkman, Sergio [UNIFESP]; Bahia, Diana [UNIFESP]; Pesquero, João Bosco [UNIFESP]; Wuertele, Martin [UNIFESP] (Elsevier B.V., 2011-05-13)
      Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) form a large family of enzymes involved in the regulation of numerous cellular functions in eukaryotes. Several protein tyrosine phosphatases have been recently identified in trypanosomatides. ...

    • Breathing disorders in congestive heart failure: gender, etiology and mortality 

      Santos-Silva, Rogerio [UNIFESP]; Figueiredo, Adelaide Cristina de; Mady, Charles; Lorenzi-Filho, Geraldo (Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, 2008-03-01)
      We investigated the relationship between sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) while awake as well as mortality. Eighty-nine consecutive outpatients ( 29 females) with congestive heart failure ...

    • Chagas' disease: an update on immune mechanisms and therapeutic strategies 

      Boscardin, Silvia Beatriz; Troccoli Torrecilhas, Ana Claudia; Manarin, Romina; Revelli, Silvia; Gonzalez Rey, Elena; Tonelli, Renata Rosito [UNIFESP]; Silber, Ariel Mariano (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-06-01)
      The final decade of the 20th century was marked by an alarming resurgence in infectious diseases caused by tropical parasites belonging to the kinetoplastid protozoan order. Among the pathogenic trypanosomatids, some species ...

    • Comparison of idiopathic achalasia and Chagas' disease esophagopathy at the light of high-resolution manometry
