The patient was a 50-year-old waiter with no personal or family history of interest, who was seen for a lesion that was painful on walking. The lesion was on the sole of the right foot, had been present for 8 months, and had not resolved spontaneously. The patient denied any local trauma. He occasionally used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for analgesia. On the medial aspect of the middle...

Aim: To detect and differentiate Capripox virus (sheeppox virus and goatpox virus) infections by using 30 kDa RNA polymerase subunit (RPO30) gene based PCR. Materials and Methods: Two capripox viruses' viz., sheep pox virus (SPPV) and goatpox virus (GTPV) from clinical samples of different outbreaks were detected and differentiated using capri pox virus (CaPVs) genotyping PCR targeting the CaPV...

Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats and New Zealand White rabbits were exposed dermally to 0, 10, 25, and 75 mg/kg/day of monoethanolamine (MEA) for approximately 6 hr/day on Days 6 through 15 (rats) or 6 through 18 (rabbits) of gestation. A fifth dose group of 225 mg MEA/kg/day was evaluated in rats only. Dermal exposure of pregnant rats to 225 mg/kg/day and rabbits to 75 mg/kg/day resulted in signif...

UNLABELLED Transsphenoidal surgery is the most commonly used surgical procedure to handle the hypophyseal region, sometimes associated with oronasal complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS/AIM To evaluate prospectively (specific questionnaire, clinical evaluation) undiagnosed chronic oronasal complications in patients submitted to conventional transsphenoidal adenomectomy surgery, operated at dif...

Fowlpox virus (FPV), a pathogen of poultry, can persist in desiccated scabs shed from infected hosts. Although the mechanisms which ensure virus survival are unknown, it is likely that some type of remedial action against environmentally induced damage is required. In this regard, we have identified an open reading frame (ORF) coding for a putative class II cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD)-ph...

Four days after she began enoxaparin, a tender, firm, hemorrhagic vesicular rash, ranging from 0.1 to 0.8 cm, developed on her calves bilaterally (Figure 1). The rash bled with minimal trauma and dried into crusted scabs. These lesions were distant from the enoxaparin injection sites on her upper arms. Laboratory results included: hemoglobin, normal; leukocytes, 19×109/L; platelets, 353,000/μL;...

Blood tests were requested, including a complete blood count, biochemistry, antinuclear antibody, and extractable nuclear antibody, and measurement of porphyrins in blood, feces, and 24-hour urine; all the results were normal. Histopathology Biopsy of a vesicle was performed, revealing an intraepidermal blister with a few necrotic keratinocytes and an abundant dermal inflammatory infiltrate (Fi...

skin lesions were found in two 3–4-year-old holstein cows in a dairy farm in shiraz. lesions were distributed mostly around the neck, forelimbs, hindlimbs, and bilateral of midline portion and varied from nodule-like structure to patch with extensive accumulation of crust. skin scraping samples were taken from each animal and direct smears were prepared, stained with giemsa and observed under a...

This study took the wheat grown in experimental area of Jiangsu Academy Agricultural Sciences as research object and used unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to carry Rededge-MX multispectral camera obtain scab image with different spatial resolutions (1.44 cm, 2.11 3.47 4.96 6.34 7.67 cm). The vegetation indexes (VIs) texture features (TFs) extracted from UAV were screened for high correlation disea...
