b a ckground: the protective effect of two isolates of an entomopathogenic fungus, metarhizium anisopliae (demi 002 and iran 437c) on the adult stage of varroa destructor was evaluated in comparison with fluvalinate strips in the field. m e t hods: a total of 12 honey bee colonies were provided from an apiculture farm. the selected hives were divided into 4 groups (3 hives per group). the first...

Meloidogyne partityla is a parasite of pecan and walnut. Our objective was to determine interactions between the entomopathogenic nematode-bacterium complex and M. partityla. Specifically, we investigated suppressive effects of Steinernema feltiae (strain SN) and S. riobrave (strain 7-12) applied as infective juveniles and in infected host insects, as well as application of S. feltiae's bacteri...

Four new species, Macrocarpaea dies-viridis (Ecuador), M. luctans (Ecuador, Peru), M. lucubrans (Panama), and M. opulenta (Ecuador), and two natural hybrids, M. × acuminata (Costa Rica) and M. × mattii (Ecuador), are described. Macrocarpaea × acuminata Weaver (pro sp.) is recognized as a natural hybrid between M. subcaudata and M. valerii, rather than as a distinct species, and M. × mattii is d...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Exercise capacity is impaired at a younger age in CKD patients than in the general population. This study examined the reliability of the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) questionnaire as a measure of exercise capacity in medically stable adults with stage 3-4 CKD (estimated GFR [eGFR], 15-59 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Peak ...

11.1: Treatment of HSP nephritis in children 11.1.1: We suggest that children with HSP nephritis and persistent proteinuria, 40.5-1 g/d per 1.73 m, are treated with ACE-I or ARBs. (2D) 11.1.2: We suggest that children with persistent proteinuria, 41 g/d per 1.73 m, after a trial of ACE-I or ARBs, and GFR 450 ml/min per 1.73 m, be treated the same as for IgAN with a 6-month course of corticoster...

BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients awaiting liver transplantation is important because they have a greater risk of impaired renal function. A major percentage of these patients have alcoholic cirrhosis, and the accuracy of bedside used GFR estimates have not been specifically evaluated in this group. The aim of this study was to evaluate the valid...
