Aspergillosis in Wild Herring Gulls.
Pulmonary infections with Aspergillus fumigatus are well known in domestic fowls or wild birds confined in zoological gardens, but the occurrence of such an infection in wild Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus var. smithsonianus) seems worthy of mention. During October, 1939, it was reported that gulls in the region of the East Boston airport were afflicted with a fatal disease. This airport is si...
متن کاملDoes a Previous High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Influence the Long-term Function or Survival of a Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)?
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well established technique for the treatment of medial osteoarthritis ofthe knee with varus malalignment. The outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after HTO remains uncertain.The aim of this paper is to revise the literature with the aim of answering the following question: Does a previous (HTO)influence the long-term function or survival of a TKA?. The sea...
متن کاملDoes Long-Term Administration of a Beta-Blocker (Timolol) Induce Fibril-Based Cataract Formation In-vivo?
Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist administered for treating glaucoma, heart attacks and hypertension. In the present study, we set out to determine whether or not timolol can provoke cataract formation, thus the influence of timolol on the amyloid-type aggregation of crystallin was investigated. We then provided experimental evidence of crystallin aggregation and it...

متن کاملHerring Gulls Nesting in Artificial Goose-nesting Structures
Herring gull (Larus argentatus) nesting in artificial goose-nesting structures was documented at the Winous Point Shooting Club, Port Clinton, Ohio, 1974—78. Gulls and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) nested in 14—28% and 12—23% of the structures, respectively. Gulls nesting in the structures did not influence goose nesting. Clutch sizes and egg-laying dates were synchronous with other local po...
