INTRODUCTION Cluster surveys are frequently used to measure key nutrition and health indicators in humanitarian emergencies. The survey design of 30 clusters of 7 children (30 x 7) was initially proposed by the World Health Organization for measuring vaccination coverage, and later a design of 30 clusters of 30 children (30 x 30) was introduced to measure acute malnutrition in emergency setting...

Introduction. The objective of this study was to evaluate Ki-67 antigen expression in patients with Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma and to assess its correlation with the metaplasia-esophageal adenocarcinoma progression. Methods. Using immunohistochemistry we evaluated the Ki-67 index in patients with Barrett's esophagus, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and controls. We included pa...

The proliferation indices (PIs) were determined in 33 meningiomas using two monoclonal antibodies to the Ki-67 antigen (Ki-67 and MIB1). PIs obtained using Ki-67 on frozen material were intermediate between the lowest and highest MIB1 PIs determined in paraffin wax sections. Preoperative embolisation did not influence Ki67 PI, but four of the 15 embolised tumours showed substantially increased ...

Abstract Seeds associated to fungal pathogens are efficient vehicles for disease dissemination in the field. Such affect seed quality and longevity, causing a decrease or loss of germination, discoloration, necrosis, decay, addition leading production mycotoxins some pathosystems. To control them several synthetic chemicals used. Nevertheless, use poses risk human health environment. Therefore,...

Background: Currently immune checkpoint pathways of PD1-PD-L1 is being used to treat lung cancer and PD-L1 served as predictive biomarker. Investigations expression a target immunotherapy in specimens Indonesia needed. This study aimed evaluate resected using immunohistochemistry techniques. Methods: Thirty surgically sample from patients were obtained. The whole stained by techniques automatic...

Sentinel herds and samples submitted by private equine practitioners were used to determine the sero-prevalence and sero-incidence of African horse sickness virus (AHSV) and equine encephalosis virus (EEV) in horse and donkey populations in the Highveld region of Zimbabwe. The sero-prevalence and sero-incidence of antibodies against these viruses were determined using the competitive enzyme-lin...
