It is estimated that approximately 60% of disease losses in shrimp aquaculture have been caused by viral pathogens and 20% by bacterial pathogens. By comparison, losses to fungi and parasites have been relatively small. For bacterial pathogens, Vibrio species are the most important while for viral pathogens importance has changed since 2003 when domesticated and genetically selected stocks of t...

Timely pond-side detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) plays a critical role in the implementation of bio-security measures to help minimize economic losses caused by white spot syndrome disease, an important threat to shrimp aquaculture industry worldwide. A portable device, namely POCKIT™, became available recently to complete fluorescent probe-based insulated isothermal PCR (iiPCR), ...

Background: Methylxanthines like theophylline are re-emerging as effective adjuncts in the treatment of obstructive airway disease and several newer mechanisms have been proposed. In view of its effectiveness, pharmacoeconomic viability, and easy availability, it could rationalize the drug treatment in bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD) – but its narrow therapeu...

OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular interventions induce damage to the vessel wall making antithrombotic therapy inevitable until complete endothelial recovery. Without a method to accurately determine the endothelial status, many patients undergo prolonged anticoagulation therapy, denying them any invasive medical procedures, such as surgical operations and dental interventions. Therefore, we aim to intr...

A theoretical analysis of the problem finding optimal means training specialists for National Police Ukraine was carried out. As a result, it discovered that jiu-jitsu contains system soldier began in Japan and continues until nowadays. Scientists increasingly pay attention to technical energetic aspects jiu- jitsu as universal mean cadets Ukraine. In their research, scientists identify two nec...

Abstract Filler’s presence in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is even though minimal but they do affect its durability characteristics. Many natural and waste materials the form of fillers have been studied for their effectiveness on HMA mix design performance However, practice, stone dust (SD) preferred filler due to abundance, ease availability, cost-effectiveness. Thus, major objective this study was ...

The microcirculation is generally defined as vessels 200 m in diameter, which are not visualized on coronary angiography. Flow through the microvasculature is therefore generally measured using noninvasive techniques. One of these techniques is myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), which has provided important new pathophysiological insights into acute myocardial ischemia. In this article...

Purpose We have recently developed a quantification MRI model to calculate the hyperemic myocardial oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) with the effect of myocardial blood-oxygen-level-dependence (BOLD) [1]. However, imaging acquisition had relied on the dark-blood turbo-spin-echo (DBTSE) sequence to acquire myocardial T2, which is sensitive to cardiac motion and arrhythmias. In addition, multiple...

The giant or black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, was formerly the dominant cultured shrimp species in Asia. Since approximately 2002, it has been essentially replaced by the domesticated American whiteleg shrimp P. vannamei. The change in dominant species has affected disease concerns. For both species, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and yellow head virus (YHV) are the most lethal. For P. mo...

The effects of daily and weekly academic loads on the psychological and cardioand hemodynamic characteristics of students were analyzed. The self-estimated state of health, activity, and mood were evaluated with the use of the HAM (Heallh-Activity-Mood) questionnaire; the introversion and extraversion, neuroticism, and intelligence of the subjects were determined according to Eysenck; and the s...
