The study investigated body condition score (BCS), hematological parameters, metabolic profile indicators, total oxidant-antioxidant status, and milk yield (MY) of cows in non-funded (NF) funded (F+) dairy farms by the European Union funds (under Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance Rural Development-IPARD) to support rural development. Sixty multiparous Holstein (110 209 days lactation) fro...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the difference of liver function changes according to the liver regeneration rate after liver transplantation through blood tests. METHODS Fifty donors, who underwent computed tomography (CT) 3D volumetry, were analyzed before and after liver transplantation. CT 3D volumetry was used as a study method to measure the mean liver regeneration v...

The etiologies of choledochus cysts are not exactly known. Its classic triads are abdominal pain, mass in abdominal area and icter. A 2-year-old girl was brought in with temperature, vomiting and abdominal pain complaints. In her physical examination, there was no sensitivity, defense and rebound in the abdomen. There was also no icter in her body. In the laboratory examination aspartate transa...

Toxicity in cattle by the shrub Nolletia gariepina was induced experimentally by intraruminal administration of 3 g/kg dried, milled plant material as a single dose. The animals had to be starved for 24 hours before dosing, as dosing on a full rumen did not induce any signs of toxicity during 5 days of observation and clinical pathology monitoring. Clinical signs were not specific and varied ac...

An RNA moiety has been shown to be involved in the conversion of Glu to delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), the first committed intermediate of the chlorophyll pathway. We now have evidence suggesting that in Chlamydomonas, the first reaction for converting Glu to ALA is the aminoacylation of Glu to a Glu-specific tRNA. The Glu-tRNA thus formed could be the substrate for Glu-1-semialdehyde synthes...

Background. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) is an established method for treatment of obesity, a condition of chronic inflammation with liver steatosis, characterised by increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell count (WBC), liver enzymes, and decreased magnesium (Mg). We investigated alterations, if any, in ESR, WBC, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transf...

In this paper, the authors review the literature and share their experience of the principal biological markers of fibrosis for the evaluation of periportal fibrosis (PPF) caused by mansoni schistosomiasis. These biological markers are compared to diagnostic ultrasound (US) scans as means of grading PPF. We also review procollagen type I and III, collagen type IV, laminin, hyaluronic acid (HA),...
