In leech therapy, medicinal leeches of species Hirudo Medicinalis are used to suck-out impure blood and speeds up healing of skin diseases, chronic headaches, arthritis, sinusitis, knee joint pain, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, gangrene, chronic wounds, alopecia, sprains etc.

The segmented ectoderm and mesoderm of the leech arise via a stereotyped cell lineage from embryonic stem cells called teloblasts. Each teloblast gives rise to a column of primary blast cell daughters, and the blast cells generate descendant clones that serve as the segmental repeats of their particular teloblast lineage. We have examined the mechanism by which the leech primary blast cell clones acquire segment polarity - i.e. a fixed sequence of positional values ordered along the anteroposterior axis of the segmental repeat. In the O and P teloblast lineages, the earliest divisions of the primary blast cell segregate anterior and posterior cell fates along the anteroposterior axis. Using a laser microbeam, we ablated single cells from both o and p blast cell clones at stages when the clone was two to four cells in length. The developmental fate of the remaining cells was characterized with rhodamine-dextran lineage tracer. Twelve different progeny cells were ablated, and in every case the ...

Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) is a naturally occurring substance that, when administered at supra-physiological concentration, is neuroprotective. It is involved in membrane stabilization and in enhancement of mitochondrial functions. It is a molecule of considerable interest for its clinical application in various neural disorders, including Alzheimers disease and painful neuropathies. ALC is known to improve the cognitive capability of aged animals chronically treated with the drug and, recently, it has been reported that it impairs forms of non-associative learning in the leech. In the present study the effects of ALC on gene expression have been analyzed in the leech Hirudo medicinalis. The suppression subtractive hybridisation methodology was used for the generation of subtracted cDNA libraries and the subsequent identification of differentially expressed transcripts in the leech nervous system after ALC treatment. The method detects differentially but also little expressed transcripts of genes whose

Some 680 species of leech have been described, of which around 100 are marine, 480 freshwater and the remainder terrestrial.[2][3] Among Euhirudinea, the true leeches, the smallest is about 1 cm (1⁄2 in) long, and the largest is the giant Amazonian leech, Haementeria ghilianii, which can reach 30 cm (12 in). Except for Antarctica,[2] leeches are found throughout the world but are at their most abundant in temperate lakes and ponds in the northern hemisphere. The majority of freshwater leeches are found in the shallow, vegetated areas on the edges of ponds, lakes and slow-moving streams; very few species tolerate fast-flowing water. In their preferred habitats, they may occur in very high densities; in a favourable environment with water high in organic pollutants, over 10,000 individuals were recorded per square metre (over 930 per square foot) under rocks in Illinois. Some species aestivate during droughts, burying themselves in the sediment, and can lose up to 90% of their bodyweight and ...

The Leech Water Supply Area (WSA) consists of 92 % of the watershed area of the Leech River above the existing tunnel that will be used to divert water to Sooke Lake Reservoir. Based on current water use, it is estimated that it will be several decades before water from the Leech WSA is needed to supplement water storage in Sooke Lake Reservoir.. Many projects and assessments are underway to enhance the restoration of the area for water supply and to improve water quality.. The Leech WSA receives more rainfall and snow than the Sooke and Goldstream Water Supply Areas. The elevation ranges from approximately 200 metres above mean sea level (AMSL) near the intake of the Leech River tunnel to 941 m at the summit of Survey Mountain. The northern portion of the Leech WSA consists of a high elevation plateau with three lakes and numerous wetlands. The main stem rivers (West Leech, Leech, and Craig Creek) flow along deeply incised river valleys toward the south and eventually into Sooke River.. Prior ...

To explore the relationship between conductances, and in particular how they influence the activity of motor neurons in the well characterized leech heartbeat system, we developed a new multi-compartmental Hodgkin-Huxley style leech heart motor neuron model. To do so, we evolved a population of model instances, which differed in the density of specific conductances, capable of achieving specific output activity targets given an associated input pattern. ... We found that the strengths of many conductances, including those with differing dynamics, had strong partial correlations and that these relationships appeared to be linked by their influence on heart motor neuron activity. Conductances that had positive correlations opposed one another and had the opposite effects on activity metrics when perturbed whereas conductances that had negative correlations could compensate for one another and had similar effects on activity metrics ...

The beneficial effect of cleansing the blood by leeches is formed from several factors: reflex, mechanical and biological.. A reflex action of leech therapy: leech bites through the skin in biologically active points (acupuncture point). A similar effect can be obtained with acupuncture. The principle of operation is manifested in the discharge of regional blood flow. Biological effects provided by the leech saliva, which contains a lot of biologically active substances.. Hirudin slows down blood clotting, not only in the site of the bite, and throughout the circulatory system. This reduces thrombus formation and blood viscosity, increases the current in the entire body, with the lymph flow also increases, it exerts its effects on metabolism and burning fat. In addition, leeches also affect hormonal processes, forcing the endocrine system to work and correcting her flaws, and this is particularly important in elementary obesity.. Leeches have, taste, smell and touch, most of these senses are ...

Recently fired Texas Tech coach Mike Leach should defend himself from accusations that he endangered a player, for his careers sake. Recently fired Texas Tech coach Mike Leach should defend himself from accusations that he endangered a player, for his careers sake. Mike Leach should barge into the middle of the game Saturday night the way the late John Belushi played the final scene of Animal House. [...] after hes finished rambling about Winston Churchill, and explaining how the guillotine was originally a kitchen utensil, Leach should stand in the Alamodome and ask: Does anyone really think Texas Tech fired me because I put a player at additional risk of injury? According to the school, Leachs termination was precipitated by his treatment of a player after the player was diagnosed with a concussion. Even if Leach never endangered Adam, he was teaching some odd life lessons. The coachs actions against the player, Techs statement continued, were meant to demean, humiliate and punish the

1 The Effect of Blood Perception on Decision-Making in the Leech Introduction There are many factors that influence the behavioral response of an animal to a given stimulus. In the medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, chemical stimuli such as blood are known to increase locomotor activity - swimming and crawling. Recently, the Brodfuehrer lab demonstrated that the perception of artificial blood in the leeches environment changes their behavioral responses elicited by electrical stimulation of the body wall. After foraging for artificial blood, the number of times that body wall stimulation leads to swimming significantly increases compared to control experiments. Here, we extend these studies to test whether artificial blood affects the ability of peripheral nerve stimulation to initiate swimming in a mouth-isolated cord preparation. Materials and Methods Leeches were dissected in cold saline, and a preparation consisting of the isolated nerve cord extending from the tail to the intact ...

Hirudotherapy has been complicated by infections caused by Aeromonas spp., which are considered endosymbionts of the leech. Leeches were treated by feeding them artificially with 100μg/ml ciprofloxacin using a 0.05 Mol arginine solution as a phagostimulant. Aeromonads were identified using the API 20NE system, and species determined by gyrB sequencing of two representative isolates. Aeromonas spp. were detected in 57 out of 80 control leeches (71.3%), but in none of the 56 leeches treated with ciprofloxacin. Treated leeches survived for up to four months. Tested weekly, leeches took human blood for at least 4 weeks after treatment and were all negative for Aeromonas spp. All water samples in which leeches were kept before treatment were contaminated with Aeromonas spp. but in none of the NaCl/arginine solutions that were used to feed antibiotic treated leeches. Two species were identified: Aeromonas veronii and Aeromonas media. Other environmental bacteria and some filamentous fungi were ...

The study of synapses is a relevant topic for all living organisms, as our bodies are coordinated by billions of successful nerve connections. Multiple cells often synapse onto one target cell, begging the question of how specific circuits then operate. What allows the target cell the ability to utilize both innervations? The leech, Hirudo verbana, is a useful model to study these questions. The heart tubes are innervated by two neurons, the heart excitatory and heart accessory neurons. Heart excitatory neurons originate at segments 3 through 18 within the leech, while heart accessory neurons originate at ganglia 5 and 6 and must therefore project axons intersegmentally. Studies have shown the synaptic locations of the heart excitatory neurons along the heart tubes and vessel junctions. Recent research has shown that while heart accessory neurons from ganglion 5 synapse onto the heart tubes in both anterior and posterior locations relative to segment 5, the propagation of heart accessory neuron 6

By labeling the germinal plates of staged leech embryos with monoclonal antibodies to the immunoglobulin superfamily member Tractin, we have documented the distribution and initial development of peripheral neurons in a hirudinid leech. We find, in addition to sensillar and extrasensillar sensory neurons, that there are 21 identifiable peripheral neurons in each hemisegment. These neurons are found in highly stereotyped positions, and all but two of them are associated with the segmental nerves. We show that eight of the peripheral neurons have the characteristic morphology of stretch receptor neurons and that they form a circumferentially distributed grid aligned in such a way that each of five specialized longitudinal muscle fascicles are monitored by at least two stretch receptor cells covering ventral, lateral, and dorsal regions of the body wall. Furthermore, we show that, in contrast to the dorsal posterior nerve, which is pioneered by central projections, the pathways of the three remaining

We have cloned two innexins, Hm-inx1 and Hm-inx2, from the leech Hirudo medicinalis and shown that these have different expression patterns in the CNS. Hm-inx1 is neuronal-specific, whereas Hm-inx2 is glial-specific. We demonstrate that each of these innexins can form functional homotypic gap junctions in the paired Xenopus oocyte assay and that they can cooperate to form heterotypic junctions. Each of these junctions demonstrates novel properties not previously seen in this family. This work represents the first demonstration of gap junctional coupling mediated by a Lophotrochozoan innexin.. We found no evidence of connexins in the leech CNS. Together with the cloning of mollusc innexins in our laboratory (Alexopoulos et al., 2000) and by Panchin et al. (2000), this work suggests that the innexins are common to the protostome animals and that the connexins are restricted to the deuterostomes. It remains to be seen which of these families is the ancestral gap junction protein and why this ...

During the 1980s, reports were published that described the successful application of medicinal leeches to rescue surgery cases with complications. During the reattachment of severed fingers and ears, or of the detached scalp, the blood flow needs to be reestablished. This is achieved by reconnecting the major arteries and veins. In particular, the veins can be difficult to find. If not enough veins are reconnected, the blood may initially enter the reattached organ but cannot exit. This will prevent fresh, oxygenated blood from entering and, consequentially, the reattachement procedure will fail. This is where the medicinal leech comes to the rescue. The animals are applied to the tissue and they actively remove blood and secrete numerous compounds that have vasodialator, anticoagulant, and clot-dissolving properties. This prevents the tissue from dying off and allows the body to reestablish good blood flow to the reattached part.. This type of procedure is not without risk. In up to 20% of ...

Current genomic perspectives on animal diversity neglect two prominent phyla, the molluscs and annelids, that together account for nearly one-third of known marine species and are important both ecologically and as experimental systems in classical embryology1, 2, 3. Here we describe the draft genomes of the owl limpet (Lottia gigantea), a marine polychaete (Capitella teleta) and a freshwater leech (Helobdella robusta), and compare them with other animal genomes to investigate the origin and diversification of bilaterians from a genomic perspective. We find that the genome organization, gene structure and functional content of these species are more similar to those of some invertebrate deuterostome genomes (for example, amphioxus and sea urchin) than those of other protostomes that have been sequenced to date (flies, nematodes and flatworms). The conservation of these genomic features enables us to expand the inventory of genes present in the last common bilaterian ancestor, establish the ...

Invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) from terrestrial haematophagous leeches has recently been proposed as a powerful non-invasive tool with which to detect vertebrate species and thus to survey their populations. However, to date little attention has been given to whether and how this, or indeed any other iDNA-derived data, can be combined with state-of-the-art analytical tools to estimate wildlife abundances, population dynamics and distributions. In this review, we discuss the challenges that face the application of existing analytical methods such as site-occupancy and spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models to terrestrial leech iDNA, in particular, possible violations of key assumptions arising from factors intrinsic to invertebrate parasite biology. Specifically, we review the advantages and disadvantages of terrestrial leeches as a source of iDNA and summarize the utility of leeches for presence, occupancy, and spatial capture-recapture models. The main source of uncertainty that attends species

By Sylvia Hall - bio , email. OCEAN SPRINGS, MS (WLOX) - Former Jackson County Supervisor Frank Leach is in the Ocean Springs Hospital after a hit-and-run incident outside of his home Friday night. Leach is in stable condition in the intensive care unit.. Ocean Springs Police responded to a call shortly before midnight Friday night to Cherokee Glenn Road. Leach had been dragged and possibly run over by what police believe is a white Mazda 626, with several white juveniles inside, but say the car could have also been a Nissan.. Officials believe the car was parked in his driveway and Leach tried to approach the vehicle before he was hit and dragged across the ground.. Police are following leads but have not made an arrest in this case.. The people responsible will be charged with aggravated assault and leaving the scene of an accident with injuries. If convicted, they would face a minumum of five years in prison.. Anyone with information on this case should contact Detective Captain Terry Harris ...

Q: What is the meaning behind In The Leech?. A: In The Leech means to stay close with the people you been down with!

In 1920 Leach and Hamada made the journey half-way around the world to set up a pottery at St Ives in Cornwall. St Ives had long been an artists colony, and the pottery was built with the aid of a grant from the Handicrafts Guild.. The first kiln, which was wood-fired, was made with three climbing chambers, each six feet high, six feet wide and four feet deep. This was the first of its type to be built in Britain, and was a disaster. In 1922 Leach had to ask Tsuronosuke Matsubayashi to come from the Asahi Pottery in Japan to re-build it. Matsu stayed for two years and was a tremendous influence on the St Ives potters. His knowledge of the chemistry of ceramics was a great help and something of an innovation to Leach who had been concerned primarily with the aesthetics of pottery rather than the technical aspects.. Leach and Hamada were like-minded and worked and relaxed well together. Their ideal was a fusion of arts-and-crafts principles and a desire to make pots of classic, simple beauty. ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of leeches of the genus Erpobdella as a means of assessing polychlorinated biphenyl contamination of watercourses. The River Skalice, heavily contaminated with PCBs, was selected as a model. The source of contamination was a road gravel processing factory in Rožmitál pod Třemšínem from which an estimated 1 metric ton of PCBs leaked in 1986. Levels of PCB were measured in leeches collected between 1992 to 2003 from 11 sites covering about 50 km of the river (the first sampling site upstream to the source of contamination and 10 sites downstream). The PCB indicator congeners IUPA no. 28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, and 180 were measured. Levels were highest at the four sampling sites nearest the source of pollution. The highest values of PCB congeners were found in 1992. PCB content decreased from 1992 to 2003 and with distance from the source. The study indicated that leeches of the genus Erpobdella are a suitable bioindicator of contamination in the surface

Last Friday (Earth Day), waking up to a house full of sleeping people who wanted to remain so, I took an early morning bike ride, ending up downtown at The Pagoda. A previous visit was made here early in the life of this blog, but the blogger goes there fairly frequently. The Pagoda was a gift from Evergreen Shipping Lines to the city of Norfolk (thanks Chris for the correction), and an Oriental-style garden has been planted around it. When I first came to Norfolk in the late 70s, there was no pagoda or garden, rather this was the site of a giant, black, 500,000 gallon, molasses tank. The Pagoda was built on top of the tanks foundations and pillars, and today there is little evidence of its previous incarnation. The garden has some fairly diverse plantings centered around the Pagoda and its large koi pond. The morning I was there an osprey was flying overhead trying to spy breakfast in the pond ...

Serotonergic Retzius (R) neurons of the leech form a Cl-dependent synapse with pressure-sensitive (P) neurons both in vivo and in vitro. However, P cells show an extrasynaptic, cationic response to application of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) which is reduced upon contact between the neurons in culture. We have examined the cellular specificity of the selection of 5-HT responses in the P cell by pairing it in culture with a variety of identified neurons. Non-synaptic sensory cells, non-serotonergic pre- and postsynaptic partners and serotonergic neurons that do not form chemical synapses with the P cell failed to alter its responses to 5-HT. The selective reduction of the extrasynaptic response to 5-HT in the P cell therefore appears to be induced specifically by contact with its only known serotonergic partner during neuronal recognition leading to synapse formation. ...

In invertebrates, the medicinal leech is considered to be an interesting and appropriate model to study neuroimmune mechanisms. Indeed, this non-vertebrate animal can restore normal function of its central nervous system (CNS) after injury. Microglia accumulation at the damage site has been shown to be required for axon sprouting and for efficient regeneration. We characterized HmC1q as a novel chemotactic factor for leech microglial cell recruitment. In mammals, a C1q-binding protein (C1qBP alias gC1qR), which interacts with the globular head of C1q, has been reported to participate in C1q-mediated chemotaxis of blood immune cells. In this study, we evaluated the chemotactic activities of a recombinant form of HmC1q and its interaction with a newly characterized leech C1qBP that acts as its potential ligand. Recombinant HmC1q (rHmC1q) was produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris. Chemotaxis assays were performed to investigate rHmC1q-dependent microglia migration. The involvement of a C1qBP-related

PCB signatures can be used for source identification, exposure studies, age dating and bio-monitoring. This study uses comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-ToFMS) to produce a PCB signature comprised of over 80 PCBs for individual Leachs storm petrels (Oceanodroma leucorhoa). The Leachs storm petrel is a relatively small, elusive, understudied pelagic bird, which only returns to remote islands under darkness during the breeding season. Samples were obtained from 25 Leachs storm petrels found dead in Canada and the UK following storm events in 2006 and 2009. Tissue samples were extracted and analysed by GCxGC-ToFMS and results showed that 83 PCB congeners were present in ,60% of samples. An assessment of the PCB signature in four different tissue types showed that it did not vary greatly in samples obtained from the gut, heart, liver and stomach. Multivariate statistical analysis identified a distinctive PCB signature in birds from ...

Areas of application for hirudo therapy. Treatment with medicinal leeches (Hirudo medicinalis / verbana / orientalis) is a traditional therapeutic method that has been known in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. In the meantime, leech therapy has become the subject of modern research, which has long shown that the healing effects of this therapy are not based on medieval superstition. The treatment with culture and breeding gels for human therapeutic use has also become an integral part of Western naturopathic treatment.. The active substances in the leeches are polypeptides and enzymes, the main substance is hirudin, which promotes blood circulation. In the saliva of the leeches (salvia) there are other anticoagulant substances such as caline. The hyaluronidases contained cause tissue loosening. Egline and Bdelline have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The leech saliva contains no pathogens!. With the biting and aspirating device there is the ability to release the active ...

Infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN) virus was isolated from freshwater leeches Piscicola salmositica and copepods Salmincola sp. removed from the gills of spawning sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka. This is the first report of the isolation of IHN virus from an animal other than salmonid fishes. High levels of IHN virus were also found in leeches taken from the bottom gravel of the spawning area. The prevalence of IHN virus in samples of individual leeches was as high as 100% and the virus was isolated from 95% of pooled samples of copepod and 1.5 × 108 pfu/g in the leech. The level of virus in leeches removed from fish gills was sometimes higher than the level of virus in the gill tissue itself. Virus persisted for at least 16 d in leeches held in the laboratory without feeding. Transmission of IHN virus by leeches probably increases the infection rate of spawning...

Hirudo Medicinalis application in medicine has long been a matter of investigation since Hippocrates. The analgesic and anti-coagulant substances in the leeches saliva are used in treatment of venous thrombosis and varicose veins, arthralgia, rheumatologic diseases, low back and cervical pains. Aeromonas infections, excessive bleeding, anemia, and allergic reactions are among the most common complications reported with leech therapy. The present study, reports leech therapy in two patients: one for sciatalgia and the other for deep venous thrombosis. Furthermore, a comprehensive review of the literature on different aspects of leech therapy with special focus on its neurosurgical applications and related dysfunctions is presented ...

Detached leeches were tentatively identified as M. lugubris in the field and were stored in one liter bottles containing lake water. Overall, 456 leeches were removed and divided into 91 pools of ~five leeches. Leeches remained alive until returned to the laboratory, where their identity was confirmed as M. lugubris according to the accepted morphological criteria [9, 10]. Each leech was briefly immersed into absolute ethanol for surface disinfection, rinsed several times in sterile water, and then sectioned into ~100 μg pieces. Samples were homogenized using a Biomaster Stomacher (Wolf Laboratories Ltd, Pocklington, York, UK) at the high speed setting for 2 min and then diluted with Earles salt-based minimal essential medium (MEM, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) to produce a 1:4 dilution (w/v) of original tissues. Homogenized leech contents were removed with a sterile transfer pipette, dispensed into a sterile 15 ml centrifuge tube, and centrifuged at 5500 rcf for 20 min in the IEC Multi RF ...

Leech therapy on dogs. HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR. In human medicine, leech therapy is a traditional and recognized therapy for various clinical pictures, even beyond the musculoskeletal system. Our animals should also benefit from what is good for us and what helps us.. The leech is considered a finished drug, like most drugs that are manufactured by the pharmaceutical industry and not by the pharmacist himself. It is also known as a kind of biological pharmacy. Various medically effective substances have been detected in its saliva. These substances contain active ingredients that.... ...

Hes taken a shot at arch enemy Craig James. Hes gone bear-hunting. Hes taken more shots at James.. Now, the Pirate of the Palouse is weighing in on college footballs new playoff system. Leach had previously gone on record stating his desire to do away with the BCS. A playoff is now in place, set to begin in 2014. But if Leach had his way, it would come sooner. Like, now.. I think its tremendous progress, Leach told The Associated Press. Five years ago there wasnt even dialogue about a playoff. Instead of diving in the water, they dipped their toes in. I think its going to be ridiculously exciting and its going to generate a bunch of money. I wish they dived in.. Diving in, of course, would mean the violation the existing contract between the BCS and its member institutions, a deal that doesnt expire until 2014. Of course, with the bunch of money Leach rightly predicts will result from the new playoff, the benefits of doing so just might outweigh the attorney fees.. Visit ...

During the 1800s, surgeons used leeches for bloodletting, which served as a treatment for a number of ailments including fevers and inflammatory diseases. A French surgeon by the name of Baron Charles Louis Heurteloup invented the artificial leech in 1840. This instrument allowed for more precise bloodletting and was often used to treat areas around the eyes or temples. Artificial leeches used a collecting chamber, which would produce a vacuum that sucked up the blood. The artificial leech pictured here is a spring-loaded, 3.75-inch-long version. It pierced veins before drawing out the blood in measured proportions with a pump.. ...

Eastern medicine has long proved the existence of special zones (points) on the skin, which have a pronounced connection with internal organs. The possibility of influence from the skin to the internal organs allows the use for therapeutic purposes of different kinds of reflexology - acupuncture (in all its versions), including girudoterapii. There is a set of two methods: reflexology and hirudotherapy. I. e. the reflexogenic point responsible for one or another organ in the body is activated by mechanical action (leech bite), plus injection of leech saliva into the systemic bloodstream - a complex of 60 biologically active enzymes that have healing properties, such as: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, blood-purifying, analgesic and many others; improve metabolism, normalize hormonal background. In other words, medical leeches is a ready-made syringe with a carefully selected set of drugs ...

Enzymes found in leech saliva also dilate vessels and work together with other enzymes to flush out toxins and promote healthy circulation to accelerate the healing process, as well as containing antibacterial enzymes that help prevent and eliminate the production of bacteria. Leech therapy diminishes inflammation, swelling and pain of an injured area, leading to an accelerated normal function. During therapy, leeches also inject an anesthetic enzyme which deadens the pain, as well as an antibacterial enzyme, which destroys the bacteria present, preventing further infection of the site, all of which work together to speed up the healing process. ...

0056] In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the leach solution/slurry is contacted with the precious metal bearing solid material, such as a comminuted ore, in a suitable arrangement, such as a stirred tank reactor, leach column, or heap leach pad for the required length of time for the precious metal/s to complex with the ligand, with adequate pH control in the range of 12 to 14 (by, for example, dosing the leach solution with sodium hydroxide (NaOH)). Highest gold extractions are obtained at a leach temperature from 20° C. to below 40° C. Higher leach temperatures (40° C. and above) cause significantly lower gold extractions. The concentration of ligand used will depend on the type of ore. Gold extractions increase with ligand concentration, and the ligand concentration may be anywhere between the stoichiometric amount required for leaching gold and the ligand solubility limit. Generally, the ligand concentration will be from 0.1 to 1 g/l, preferably from 0.3 to 0.9 ...

A 55-year-old Chinese woman presented with a 3-week history of unilateral left-sided epistaxis and nasal obstruction. She had swum in a freshwater stream 1 month prior to the onset of symptoms. Endoscopic examination revealed a live leech at the left middle meatus with a large part of its body inside the left maxillary antrum. Local anaesthetic was applied to anaesthetise the leech and facilitate removal. Magnetic resonance imaging performed following removal confirmed that no other leeches were present in the sinonasal area. The endoparasitism might have persisted because of the inconspicuous site of infestation and the absence of pain. This form of leech infestation has not been previously reported ...

Fauna Europaea provides a public web-service with an index of scientific names (including important synonyms) of all living European land and freshwater animals, their geographical distribution at country level (up to the Urals, excluding the Caucasus region), and some additional information. The Fauna Europaea project covers about 230,000 taxonomic names, including 130,000 accepted species and 14,000 accepted subspecies, which is much more than the originally projected number of 100,000 species. This represents a huge effort by more than 400 contributing specialists throughout Europe and is a unique (standard) reference suitable for many users in science, government, industry, nature conservation and education. Hirudinea is a fairly small group of Annelida, with about 680 described species, most of which live in freshwater habitats, but several species are (sub)terrestrial or marine. In the Fauna Europaea database the taxon is represented by 87 species in 6 families. Two closely related groups,

There were obvious flaws and many physicians questioned the procedure such as Pierre Charles Alexandre Louis to demonstrate that it was entirely ineffective in the treatment of pneumonia and various fevers in the 1830s. Nevertheless, in 1840, a lecturer at the Royal College of Physicians would still state that when an appropriate dosage of bloodletting was introduced was effective. Louiss findings were put up against Broussais, who could recommend leeches fifty at a time. It got to the point where by the 1870s bloodletting was so popular among patients that, although medical use of the practice was declining, many patients had to be convinced not to be bled when they fell ill. This placebo affect became dangerous but by the late 1800s enthusiasm for leech therapy had worn off. Developments in other procedures and the discovery of antibiotics in the 1920s had made leeches obsolete. Leeches are still used today in select situations. Surgeons who do plastic and reconstructive surgery find ...

By exploiting nanoimprint lithography, we fabricated biocompatible plastic GRs of varying periodicity suitable for high-resolution microscopy and investigated neurite contact guidance of an invertebrate neuronal model (leech neurons). Using high-resolution fluorescence microscopy, we quantitatively compared the changes in tubulin cytoskeleton organization and cell morphology induced by mechanotransduction. The neuritic development and filopodium organization at the GCs were also studied in response to topographical guidance. This in vitro model was finally compared and validated with several other neuronal cells, from embryonic stem cells and primary hippocampal neurons to human neuroblastoma differentiated cells, which were interfaced with similar GRs.. Leech neurons could read the directional topographical information of T2 and T4. In particular, cell and neurite network alignment was more efficient on T4 than on T2 and neuron morphology was less branched, in agreement with [44]. The GCs were ...
