An indirect enzyme–linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for screening of antibody to avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Antigen was prepared from whole-purified IBV Massachusetts serotype (BR 801 strain). Optimum dilution with minimum background for antigen concentration, rabbit anti-chicken conjugate and sera in developed ELISA was determined 0.1μg/ml, 1:3000 and 1:100, respe...

BACKGROUND To prospectively evaluate whether short-term high-intensity (interval) training (HI(I)T) induces detectable morphological cardiac changes in previously untrained men in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-four untrained volunteers were randomly assigned to a HI(I)T group (n=42; 44.1±4.7 years) or an inactive control group (n=42; 42.3±5.6 years). HI...

BACKGROUND A study from Scotland reported that the p53 mutation frequency in breast tumors is associated with socio-economic deprivation. METHODS We analyzed the association of the tumor p53 mutational status with tumor characteristics, education, and self-reported annual household income (HI) among 173 breast cancer patients from the greater Baltimore area, United States. RESULTS p53 mutat...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in India is currently assessed using the World Health Organization/International Society for Hypertension (WHO/ISH) risk prediction charts since no population-specific models exist. The WHO/ISH risk prediction charts have two versions-one with total cholesterol as a predictor (the high information (HI) model) and the other without (the low information (LI) mode...

1 Behavioral and neuroanatomical outcomes of early and late preterm hypoxic ischemic injury and the neuroprotective effects of whole-body hypothermia: an animal model The overarching aims of this research were: first, to characterize the anatomical and behavioral effects of preterm hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in rodent models; and second, to explore the method of passively induced whole-body h...

background and aims: measles remains one of the leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality in developing countries and is still a major public health concern in developed countries. although live attenuated vaccine is used throughout the world, out breaks of disease still occur in many countries including iran. methods: the present study was performed to evaluate the immune status agai...

Hemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests against whole virus (WV) influenza B/Singapore/222/79 antigen detected prevaccination serum antibody in only 15 (20%) of 50 predominantly elderly volunteers and fourfold or greater titer rises in only three (6%) after they received 1981-1982 trivalent influenza vaccine containing antigens of this virus. HI titers against ether-treated (ET) B/Singapore/222/...

Moran, Daniel S., Luba Eli-Berchoer, Yuval Heled, Liran Mendel, Mara Schocina, and Michal Horowitz. Heat intolerance: does gene transcription contribute? J Appl Physiol 100: 1370–1376, 2006. First published December 15, 2005; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.01261.2005.— During exertion in the heat, heat-intolerant (HI) subjects have a physiological disability in metabolic heat dissipation. The HI stat...

Abstract Background Lipreading is considered an important skill that varies considerably among normal-hearing (NH) and hearing-impaired (HI) children. It well known children use audition as the primary sensory modality for speech perception, whereas HI lipreading cues perception. Moreover, perception a multisensory process involves attention to auditory signals visual articulatory movements, in...
