this study represents an unusual case of mucormycosis localized in nasal cavity of a german shepherd dog. the patient was a 1-year-old male guard dog with unilateral nasal epistaxis, mucopurulent nasal discharge, sneezing and nose pawing. the dog had a history of head trauma about 2 months before admission, which was associated with mild self-limited epistaxis. initial nasal rhinoscopy showed s...

A nondescript dog aged six months was presented with a history of alopecia, severe itching, thickening skin on ears, around eyes, forehead and lateral aspects abdomen. Clinical examination revealed dermatitis, irregular lesions, crust formation, erythema, pruritis alopecia the affected area. Upon microscopic analysis scrapings, it found that there were abundant short tailed Demodex cornei mites...

Introduction. To investigate whether maternal oral flora might be involved in intrauterine infection and subsequent stillbirth or neonatal death and could therefore be detected in fetal and neonatal postmortem bacterial cultures. Methods. This retrospective study of postmortem examinations from 1/1/2000 to 12/31/2010 was searched for bacterial cultures positive for common oral flora from heart ...

surfactant molecules are used as interesting tools to study the structure, function and stability of proteins. protonation states of amino acids may be changed in the presence of surfactants. in this work, using experimental observations and molecular dynamic simulation, the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the acid dissociation constants of tryptophan was examined. the acid–base equilibriu...

The purpose of our experiments was to examine the effect of different soil covering matters (livestock manure, straw and crushed pine bark) on the quantity of some microbial groups (total bacteria, aerobic cellulolytic bacteria, microscopic fungi) occuring in soil. During two years samples were taken from a Cider apple plantation at the Fruit Production Research and Advisory Kht, Újfehértó four...

Morphological microscopic examinations of nucleated cells in body fluid (BF) samples are performed to screen malignancy. However, the morphological differentiation is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This study aimed to develop a new flowcytometry-based gating analysis mode "XN-BF gating algorithm" to detect malignant cells using an automated hematology analyzer, Sysmex XN-1000. XN-BF mode w...

OBJECTIVE To describe microscopic colitis (MC) and a stepwise approach to its diagnosis and management. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE MEDLINE was searched from January 1996 to August 2002. Controlled trials were sought, but due to their relative rarity, most articles cited are well designed retrospective studies and reviews. MAIN MESSAGE Microscopic colitis in both its collagenous and lymphocytic forms i...

Background This study aimed to describe the epidemiologic characteristics of

BACKGROUND The aim of the study is to detect apoptosis in granular cell ameloblastoma by annexin v affinity assay, a novel technique. MATERIALS & METHODS Excitional biopsy of two patients with granular cell ameloblastoma were fixed in buffered formalin and later embedded in paraffin wax. Blocks were sliced into 3m thick sections for routine histological and subsequent immunohistochemical exam...

Despite the huge efforts and funds expended to try and bring Cacao swollen shoot virus (CSSV) disease under control, the disease has remained largely intractable. Inspired by the need to inject new ideas into the current breeding programmes for CSSV resistance, the interactions between cocoa and the virus in CSSV-infected plants from 3 days post inoculation (dpi) to about 30 dpi were studied us...
