With increasing inclusion in multiple global strategies, workforce must be prepared to protect sustain well-being life on planet. In this paper, a review past currently accepted core competencies was conducted, with competence gaps identified. Here, Network for Ecohealth (NEOH) propose updated designed simplify what can complex area, grouping into three main areas of: Skills; Values...
Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most aggressive subtype of kidney cancer and up to 40% patients submitted surgery with a curative intent will relapse. Thus, aim this study was analyze applicability an Extracellular vesicle (EV) derived miRNA profile as potential prognosis biomarkers in ccRCC patients. We analyzed nine-miRNA plasma EVs from 32 localized disease (before after surgery) 37 metastatic disease. observed that levels EV-derived hsa-miR-25-3p, hsa-miR-126-5p,...
Abstract Objectives Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of tapeworm Taenia solium. NCC mainly occurs in Africa, Latin America and South-East Asia can cause variety clinical signs/symptoms. Although it rare Europe, should nonetheless be considered as differential diagnosis. The aim this study was to describe characteristics management patients with diagnosed treated Europe. Methods We conducted systematic search published unpublished data on Europe...
We carried out a serosurvey for cysticercosis among people visiting the Central Hospital of Maputo, capital Mozambique, between January and June 1993. A standardized questionnaire was designed to obtain information on demographic, socioeconomic, environmental, behavioral characteristics related transmission infection. Four hundred eighty-nine individuals were tested anti-cysticercosis antibodies: 222 blood donors patients from Department Orthopedics, 148 Neurology, 119 Psychiatry. The...
Animal models have been developed for the study of rickettsial pathogenesis. However, to understand what occurs during natural route transmission via tick bite, role saliva should be considered in these models. To address this, we analysed Rickettsia conorii (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) a murine host by intradermally (i.d.) inoculating two groups susceptible C3H/HeJ mice with this Rickettsia, and infesting one group nymphal Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Ixodida: Ixodidae) ticks....

Continued contact between humans and animals, in combination with the ever-increasing movement of human animal populations that is one effect globalization, contributes to spread diseases, often detrimental effects on public health. This has led professionals involved both health recognize veterinary (VPH) as a key area for their activities address human–animal interface. Veterinarians, profession major involvement this field, are need specific knowledge skills prevent control public-health...
Cysticercosis, a leading cause of acquired epilepsy in developing countries, has been controlled or eradicated industrialized countries. This paradigm recently challenged, with human neurocysticercosis (NCC) being increasingly diagnosed these In order to assess the NCC burden Portugal, retrospective study on hospitalizations (2006-2013) was conducted based national database hospital morbidity: 357 hospitalized cases were detected. most frequent following age groups: 20-64 years (n = 197,...
