Aerosols are readily transported on airstreams through building sanitary plumbing and sewer systems, and those containing microbial pathogens (known as bioaerosols) are recognized as contributors to i…
The authors screened 34 large cattle herds for the presence of Mycoplasma bovis infection by examining slaughtered cattle for macroscopic lung lesions, by culturing M. bovis from lung lesions and at t…
The present paper describes a sensitive, precise and specific radioimmunoassay method for measurements of plasma somatostatin; significant rises in plasma somatostatin following a test meal, intraduod…
An indirect agglutination test using recently developed gelatin particles was assessed to determine its applicability as a screening test for mass examination for strongyloidiasis. 1199 individuals in…
Vitamin K1 levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography in cord blood (n = 33) and at the age of 97-120 h after administration of 2 mg of vitamin K1 orally (n = 88) or 1 mg of vitami…
The pharmacokinetics of dexamethasone (DEX) were investigated after an intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) bolus injection of 0.3mg/kg bodyweight DEX sodium phosphate in pigs. The plasma concentrat…
Due to its importance to develop strategies for copper(II) (Cu(2+)) detection, we here report a visual and portable strategy for Cu(2+) detection based on designing and using a strip-like hydrogel. Th…
A series of studies has shown that long-term infusion of insulin and glucose does not increase mean arterial pressure (MAP) in dogs, but we have shown that the same infusion protocol or infusion of gl…
OBJECTIVE: Recent evidence suggests that higher peripheral levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) are associated with poorer cognitive function and predict future cognitive decline among the elderly. The curr…
The time course of plasma corticosterone was measured in male Sprague-Dawley rats whose endogenous release of ACTH had been blocked following rapid i.v. injections of doses ranging from 0.003 to 10 mi…
The effect of dietary-induced vitamin B-6 (B-6) deficiency on the intake of the taste solutions, sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium saccharin (NaSacc), quinine sulfate (QS), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) wa…
The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the effects of an intraportal injection of ouabain (2 mg/kg), an inhibitor of the sodium-potassium pump, on plasma catecholamine response in un…
The first objective of this study was to determine whether LH and testosterone respond differently to a naloxone injection in relation to varying sexual performance in rams. If differences occurred, t…
A new method of analysis has allowed the exonucleolytic cleavage by human 3'-exonuclease to be determined. Hydrolysis by human plasma 3'-exonuclease proceeds with retention of configuration at phospho…
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) injected into the third ventricle (3rd V) of conscious ovariectomized rats bearing a permanent jugular cannula increased the percentage of plasma samples showing detectable imm…
To estimate the prevalence of some zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in red deer (Cervus elaphus) living in Italian areas with high risk of arthropod exposure, blood samples from 60 red deer were tested b…
Cats (Felis catus) are reservoirs of several pathogens that affect humans, including Toxoplasma gondii. Infection of pregnant women with T. gondii can cause ocular and neurological lesions in newborns…
Most of the precursors and/or degradation products related to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) are polar. Identification of these molecules in environmental samples provides clues regarding the a…
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) after neurosurgery are potentially life-threatening and entail great costs. SSIs may occur from airborne bacteria in the operating room, and ultraclean air …
In spite of the wide literature describing the biological effects of phenolic compounds, scarce data are available on their absorption from diet. In the present work, we studied the absorption in huma…
