To evaluate the Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) protocols, two different kits commercially available in Brazil were used: an imported kit (kit A) and a domestically produced kit (kit B). Kit A was submitted to the protocols recommended by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the protocol recommended by the Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastec...

PURPOSE Activating mutations of the KIT juxtamembrane region are the most common genetic events in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and have been noted as independent prognostic factors. The impact of KIT mutation in other regions, such as the extracellular or kinase domains, is not well-defined and fewer than 30 cases have been published to date. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN One hundred twenty...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a common medical problem. There is in fact a growing body of literature on plants used for the treatment of diabetes. Plant materials attracted considerable interest of scientists. In this respect, in the past few years, attempts were made to use natural plant products for the treatment of patients with diabetes. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investig...

Background: Rotaviruses cause acute diarrhoea, mostly in young puppies. Rotavirus associated gastroenteritis dog is of great concern not only because their high morbidity and mortality, but became the reason that, they act as potential source zoonotic infection inter-species transmission. There no report on rotavirus from Assam. Therefore, there a need to study haemato-biochemical alterations i...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the validity of a new modified dip-slide test kit for the estimation of salivary mutans streptococci, lactobacilli and Candida levels by comparison with the results obtained from conventional agar plate counts. Five milliliters of paraffin-stimulated saliva sample was collected from 118 6-12-year old children attending 4 primary schools in Thailand. Saliva ...

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s (RAS) Ontologies for Robotics and Automation Working Group is dedicated to developing a methodology for knowledge repre­ sentation and reasoning in robotics and automation. As part of this working group, the Industrial Robots sub-group is tasked with studying industrial applications of the knowledge represen­ tation. One of the first areas of interest ...
