The aim of present investigation was to study the virulence of coccidiosis in Kadaknath birds, experimentally infected with E. tenella by OPG count, oocyst index and caecal lesions scoring. Sixty one-day old unsexed Kadaknath birds were randomly divided into a control, T1 and T2 groups comprising twenty chicks under each group. At d 21 of age, birds of T1 and T2 groups were individually inocula...

The correlation between baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and the spectrum component at a frequency of 0.1 Hz of pulse intervals (PI) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) was studied. SBP and PI of 51 subjects were recorded beat-to-beat at rest (3 min), during exercise (0.5 W/kg of body weight, 9 min), and at rest (6 min) after exercise. BRS was determined by a spectral method (a modified alpha index t...

Medium-spin excited states of the neutron-rich nucleus $^{87}$Br were observed and studied for first time. They populated in fission $^{235}$U induced by cold-neutron beam PF1B facility Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble. The measurement $\gamma$ radiation following has been performed using EXILL array Ge detectors. level scheme was compared with results large valence space shell model calculatio...

Severe neutropenia and bone marrow (BM) morphologic abnormalities occur during experimentally induced primary infection with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), a lentivirus biologically similar to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). To further characterize the mechanisms involved in this acute infection model of lentivirus-induced BM suppression, peripheral blood counts, histologic BM studies...

where A : D(A) ⊆H →H , α : D(α) ⊆H →H , and β : D(β) ⊆H →H are maximal monotone operators in the real Hilbert space H (satisfying some specific properties), a, b are given elements in the domain D(A) of A, f ∈ L2(0,T ;H), and p,r : [0,T] → R are continuous functions, p(t) ≥ k > 0 for all t ∈ [0,T]. Particular cases of this problem were considered before in [9, 10, 12, 15, 16]. If p ≡ 1, r ≡ 0, ...

Hepatic natural killer (NK) cells are located in the liver sinusoids adherent to the endothelium. Human and rat hepatic NK cells induce cytolysis in tumor cells that are resistant to splenic or blood NK cells. To investigate the mechanism of cell death, we examined the capacity of isolated, pure (90%) rat hepatic NK cells to kill the splenic/blood NK-resistant mastocytoma cell line P815. Cell d...

The research work was planned on 120 unsexed day old broiler chicks, sixty each of Cari Vishal and Cobb broiler chicken to notice the effect on body weight gain and oocyst outputs against E. tenella infection. The effect of dosage of coccidial challenge was found to be significant (P<0.05) only at 4th week of age among treatment groups. The least squares mean (LSM) for body weight (g) differed ...

Cattle persistently infected with a noncytopathic Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) are at risk of developing fatal "mucosal disease" (MD). The authors investigated the role of various apoptosis pathways in the pathogenesis of lesions in animals suffering from MD. Therefore, they compared the expression of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and Bcl-2L1 (Bcl-x) in tissues of 6 BVDV-free control a...

The synthesis of a set of 1-aryl-2-aryl(3-pyridyl)ethanones 1-5 and the corresponding ketoximes 6-9 is reported. Structural studies of oximes 6, 7 and 9 were performed in solution using (1)H-NMR and in the solid state by X-ray crystallography, providing evidence of H-bonding networks. The crystal packing was controlled by homomeric intermolecular oxime...oxime H-bond interactions for 6 and coop...
