Salmonella enterica causes a number of significant poultry diseases and is also a major pathogen in humans. Most poultry infected by Salmonella become carriers; infection may also be fatal, depending on the particular serovar and the age of the bird at infection. Younger birds are more susceptible to infection by Salmonella, so it is critical that hatcheries monitor birds. We developed a method...

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains of phage types DT104 and U302 are often resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline (the ACSSuT resistance type) and are major zoonotic pathogens. Increased consumption of goose meat may enhance the risk of transferring S. enterica serovar Typhimurium and other enteric pathogens from geese to human due to...

PURPOSE The long-term purpose of this research was to establish the relationships between composition, structure, and function that affect human lens membranes. The authors hypothesized that the functional differences of epithelial, cortical, and nuclear lens membranes are related to compositional differences. Furthermore, age-dependent alterations in membrane function and structure can also be...

21 Resuspended sediment can increase plankton biomass and the growth of bacteria, thus 22 influence the coastal planktonic microbial food web. But little is known about resuspension 23 itself: is it a single massive change or a whole series of events and how does it affect the 24 quantity and quality of resuspended prokaryotic cells? We simulated the sequential erosion of 25 mud cores to better...

Work from this laboratory resulted in the development of a method for the preparation and purification of brain lipides (1) which involved two successive operations. In the first step, the lipides were extracted by homogenizing the tissue with 2: 1 chloroform-methanol (v/v), and filtering the homogenate. In the second step, the filtrate, which contained the tissue lipides accompanied by non-lip...

Rabbit farming is a powerful source of dietary meat, rabbit fluff, and skins. The research was conducted at the farm Precarpathian State Agricultural Research Station Institute Agriculture Carpathian Region National Academy Agrarian Sciences. article describes creation new highly productive genetic populations rabbits identified as best options for crossing maternal paternal forms. Three breeds...

BACKGROUND The intestinal tract plays an important role in food allergy and the intestinal mucosa barrier is critical for maintenance of its function. The underlying mechanisms of how food allergens modulate the intestinal permeability in inducing intestinal food allergy remain elusive. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of how food allergens influence the function o...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the Push and Fluff technique (PFT) as compared with the standard unsheathing technique for closed-cell stent retrievers in acute ischemic stroke. METHODS Acute ischemic stroke thrombectomy database was analyzed (September 2010 to January 2015) with the Trevo Retriever as a primary strategy. The PFT was compared with our...
