A Native 51 kDa Leishmania Membrane Protein Revealed as a Novel Antigenic Candidate for Immuno-Diagnosis of Human VL and PKDL diseases
Visceral leishmaniasis, a life threatening protozoan parasitic disease, is mainly caused by Leishmania donovani complex and is prevalent in the Indian subcontinent, East Africa and Brazil. VL patients even after successful treatment might show other clinical revelations of skin called post kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL).
Guanylate Binding Proteins promote anti-Leishmania Host Cell Defense
Leishmania donovani is an obligatory intracellular protozoa pathogen that transmits by sand flies to mammalian hosts. L. donovani is the causative agent of the disease Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), also known as Kala-azar, which causes hepatosplenomegaly i.e., enlargement of the spleen and liver in patients.
What are the Elements to Identify the Anticipatory Signs of Mania or Depression When Bipolar Disorder is Present?
Bipolar disorder is a medical condition defined by mood fluctuation, oscillating between periods of elevated mood and periods of depression. Bipolar disorder is generally characterized by three conditions: a state of euphoria or agitation, called mania; a state of despondency, called depression; a symptom-free state (called euthymia) during which the person feels balanced and functions well.
What are the Elements to Target the Anticipatory Signs of Bipolar Disorder Before Diagnosis?
Being able to anticipate the discovery of a disease in a given individual remains a clinical challenge. In the case of bipolar disorder (BD), the prodromal phase can be relatively long. Mood lability and the manifestation of depression are the most consistent warning signs. Anxiety, particularly panic attacks, is often a precursor. Early detection of prodromal symptoms may contribute to improving the prognosis of patients with BD. The main objective of this paper is to present the different procedures for the identification of initial and relapse prodromes in these patients.
