A pioneer in experimental embryology [5], Ross Granville Harrison [4] made numerous discoveries that advanced biology. One of the most significant was his adaptation of the hanging drop method [6] from bacteriology to carry out the first tissue culture. This method allowed for further studies in embryology [5] as well as experimental improvements in oncology, virology, genetics, and a number of...

The aim of this study was to investigate the modified Ross criteria score and the diagnostic cut-off level for plasmatic amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the diagnosis of pediatric heart failure, by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The plasma NT-proBNP level was measured in 80 children diagnosed with heart failure according to the modified ...

Ascites syndrome is indicating the abnormal accumulation of non-inflammatory fluid in abdominal space. Hypoxia is the most important cause of pulmonary hyper blood pressure in broiler poultry. The aim of this study is a comparative survey of ascites syndrome incidence rate in Ross, Arbor-Acrese and Cobb strains of broiler chickens. For this purpose, 150 broiler male chicks of Ross, Cobb, and Ar...
