A total of 282 serum samples were collected from 10 flocks, representing eight poultry breeding companies. These birds were reared in Punjab and North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. The antibodies against Turkey Rhinotracheitis virus/Swollen Head Syndrome (TRT/SHS) were detected by using a commercial kit based on Blocking Enzyme Immuno-Assay. Out of 282 samples tested for TRT/SHS antibodie...

The aim of the study is to present our results regarding the efficacy of TRT for tinnitus relief in patients with clinically significant tinnitus compared to a group treated with vasoactive agents. In a nonrandomized prospective study, 63 patients with disabling tinnitus were recruited. Greek translation of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) for annoyance caus...

Melamine (MEL) may be degraded into cyanuric acid (CYA) and some other analogs by rumen microorganism. This study was conducted to investigate the residue of MEL and CYA in milk and tissues of dairy cows fed with different doses of MEL. Forty mid-lactation dairy cows (157 ± 43 DIM, 20.8 ± 1.4 kg of milk/d) were divided into 4 groups (n = 10/group) in a completely randomized design. The cows of ...

The ATLAS Transition Radiation Tracker (TRT) is the outermost of the three inner detector tracking subsystems and consists of ∼300000 thin-walled drift tubes (“straw tubes”) that are 4 mm in diameter. The TRT system provides ∼30 space points with ∼130 micron resolution for charged tracks with |η| < 2 and pT > 0.5 GeV/c. The TRT also provides electron identification capability by detecting trans...

The objective of this work was to describe a novel in vitro system based on the subtraction of ammonia pools obtained with and without rumen fluid inoculum to determine the soluble protein fraction of feeds and their degradability, with adjustments for microbial contributions and bacterial contamination. Four corn-milling coproducts were used in this study as random factors. The feeds (Fd) were...

According to the Linked Data principles, a tripleset should be interlinked with others to take advantage of existing knowledge. However, interlinking is a laborious task. Thus, users interlink their triplesets mostly with data hubs, such as DBpedia and Freebase, ignoring the more specific yet often even more promising triplesets. To alleviate this problem, this paper describes a tripleset inter...

 The results of this analysis suggest that the reimbursement restriction proposed by the ODPRN would generate additional costs to other areas of the healthcare system.  The burden of the policy change could completely offset savings and generate costs of up to $1 million to the healthcare budget.  No chart review or formal assessment was conducted to demonstrate or quantify inappropriate use...

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: Despite the full use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy, morbidity and mortality incidence as a result from heart failure (HF) are still significantly persistent. In the therapeutic context, the inhibition of inadequa...
