Cleft rhinoplasty is a demanding, technique-sensitive procedure. Part art, part science; it poses several probing questions to the surgeon. The unilateral cleft nasal deformity is a distinct entity because the pursuit of symmetry in the unilateral cleft nose makes the repair much more challenging. The advent of nasoalveolar moulding, the gaining popularity of primary (early) nasal repair and greater refinements in secondary (definitive) rhinoplasty techniques have contributed to better nasal results in unilateral cleft repair. Yet, some obstacles remain. This paper aims to discuss the anatomy of the unilateral cleft nose, enumerate aims and objectives of repair at every stage, and to demonstrate the evolution and varied rationale of management of nasal deformities in the unilateral cleft lip and nose.Intestinal capillariasisis is a newly emerging parasitic disease and its outcome may be fatal if not diagnosed and treated in the proper time. The main diagnosis of intestinal capillariasis is made by identifying eggs, larvae and/or adults in the stools of infected cases. This study aimed to describe a different type of developmental stages, which is the detection of adult females carrying embryonated thick-shelled eggs in their uteri in the fecal samples of infected cases. The study included 40 Capillaria philippinensis patients admitted to the hospitals of Kasr Al-Ainy Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University and Beni-Suef University. Stool examination was performed using direct smear and the formalin-ether concentration methods. RO4987655 purchase The adult stages of the parasite were detected in 35 stool samples, eggs were detected in 33 cases, 5 of them were diagnosed by detecting eggs only. We could identify three types of eggs of C. philippinensis non-embryonated thick-shelled eggs in feces of cases, embryonated thin-shelled and embryonated thick-shelled eggs in the uteri of female worms. Only in 2 cases we were able to identify female worms with embryonated thick-shelled eggs inside their uteri. This finding has never been mentioned and may point out to a missing point in the known life cycle.Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide-distributed zoonotic disease of great relevance to public health. Many wildlife species, including marsupials of the genus Didelphis, are considered hosts for Toxoplasma gondii, which makes them to have a possible role in the dispersion and maintenance of this parasite in nature. This study provides data on the molecular detection of T. gondii in D. aurita opossums from an urbanized area of Southeastern Brazil. Animals were captured and blood and/or spleen samples were collected. Real Time PCR was performed for the detection of T. gondii. From the opossums captured, 26.3% (n = 15/57) scored positive, with a frequency of 21.6% (n = 11/51) in blood, and 66.7% (n = 6/9) in spleen samples. BLAST analysis demonstrated 100% identity and 100% cover query with sequences of T. gondii available in GenBank database. Data herein reported present great public health importance, since Didelphis spp. are usually observed inhabiting close to human dwellings, which facilitates their contact with people and domestic animals, and consequently, the transmission of zoonotic agents. However, further studies are needed to elucidate whether these opossums play an important role in the zoonotic cycle of T. gondii in urban areas of Brazil.Cryptosporidiosis is considered to be one of the most devasting gastrointestinal diseases in calves. The aim of this study was to investigate Cryptosporidium parvum infection (C. parvum) in buffalo-calves with both copro-microscopic examination and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using two C. parvum prepared antigens with regards to their cytokines profile; interferon- γ (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-14 to achieve a proper diagnosis. All collected buffalo- calves' fecal samples were examined by modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique. ELISA was performed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the two C. parvum prepared antigens; crude whole oocyst (CWO) and crude sonicated oocyst (CSO) in detection of anti-C. parvum IgG in buffalo-calves' sera. As well, concentrations of INF-γ, IL-12 and IL-14 in the buffalo-calves' serum samples were estimated. The results revealed that the overall parasitological incidence of cryptosporidiosis was 40%. However, the serological diagnosis by ELISA assay showed 53.75% and 27.5% when using CWO and CSO antigen, respectively. Also, the diagnostic efficacy parameters of both antigens; CWO and CSO showed a significant high specificity (83.3%) achieved by CSO antigen and a high sensitivity (71.8%) by CWO antigen. The levels of INF-γ, IL-12 and IL-14 were significantly increased in positive Cryptosporidium infected group by both coprological and serological assays followed by the group which was positive for cryptosporidiosis by copro-microscopic examination only. The present study concluded that a combination of coprological and serological examination with reference to the cytokines profile is needed for proper diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis in buffalo-calves.Cryptosporidium parvum is an important coccidian parasite that could infect the intestine, respiratory and biliary tracts of man and animals. This study aims to test the potential therapeutic and prophylactic effects of a natural herbal agent (Asafoetida) versus the nowadays drug of choice (Nitazoxanide). Fifty bred female, white Albino mice of CDI strain were divided into 5 groups; group I (GI) immunosuppressed, infected with C. parvum and treated with Asafoetida, group II (GII) immunosuppressed, prophylactically treated with Asafoetida for 7 days prior to infection, group III (GIII) immunosuppressed, infected and treated with Nitazoxanide, group IV (GIV) immunosuppressed and infected (Positive control), group V (GV) immunosuppressed and non infected (Negative control). Parasitological and histopatholgical examinations of the stool, ileocaecal and liver specimens were performed for the study groups. GI showed reduction of the mean oocyst count in stool with improvement of the pathological changes at the ileocaecal region with preservation of hepatic architecture.
