LOBOMYCOSIS EPIDEMIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT: THE QUEST FOR A CURE FOR THE MOST NEGLECTED OF NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES

Lobomycosis Epidemiology and Management: The Quest for a Cure for the Most Neglected of Neglected Tropical Diseases

Lobomycosis is a chronic disease caused by Lacazia loboi, which is endemic to the Amazon rainforest, where it affects forest dwellers in Brazil.There is no disease control program and no official therapeutic protocol.This situation contributes to an unknown disease prevalence and unmet needs of people disabled by this disease who seek access to tre

Fractals in $$S_b$$ S b -metric spaces

Abstract This study aims to discover attractors for fractals by using generalized F-contractive iterated function system, which falls within a distinct category of mappings defined on $$S_b$$ S b -metric spaces.In particular, we investigate how these systems, when subjected to specific F-contractive conditions, can lead to the identification Lab St

Enhanced Immune Response Against the Thomsen-Friedenreich Tumor Antigen Using a Bivalent Entirely Carbohydrate Conjugate

The Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF) antigen is a key target for the development of anticancer vaccines, and this ongoing challenge remains relevant due to the poor immunogenicity of the TF antigen.To overcome this challenge, we adopted a bivalent conjugate design which introduced both the TF antigen and the Thomsen-nouveau (Tn) antigen onto the immunolog

Sustaining ecosystem services in cultural landscapes

Classical conservation approaches focus on the man-made degradation of ecosystems and tend to neglect the social-ecological values that human land uses have imprinted on many environments.Throughout the world, ingenious land-use practices have generated unique cultural landscapes, but these are under pressure from agricultural intensification, land
