Here u(x, t) represents the free surface of the liquid and the parameter γ > 0 measures the effect of rotation. (1.1) describes the propagation of internal waves of even modes in the ocean; for instance, see the work of Galkin and Stepanyants [1], Leonov [2], and Shrira [3, 4]. The parameter β determines the type of dispersion, more precisely, when β < 0, (1.1) denotes the generalized Ostrovsky...

HS (heparan sulphate) has hitherto not been found on human red blood cells (RBCs, erythrocytes). However, malarial-parasite (Plasmodium falciparum)-infected RBCs adhere to uninfected RBCs via HS-like receptors. In the present paper we demonstrate that human RBCs carry epitopes for an anti-HS antibody. Glycans isolated from RBC membranes reacted to HS-specific degradations and adhered to an HS-b...

To the editor: The work by Oliveira, et al. published in the journal last July addressed once again the interesting question regarding the relationship of chronic calcifications suggestive of neurocysticercosis (NC) and the development of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTE-HS). The publication concluded that there is a higher incidence of brain calcifications suggesti...

The effect of humic substances from different sources on the performance and selected biochemical indicators was studied in 150 one-day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308) divided into control (C) and two tested groups (n = 50). Chickens of tested groups were fed diets supplemented with natural humic compounds (group HS) and sodium humate (group HNa) at amounts of 5 g·kg-1 of feeds in phase 1 and 7...

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unknown etiology. There is evidence that bacteria may contribute to initiating the inflammatory response in HS patients. To date, data on bacteria found in HS lesions and their resistance rates are rare. Methods: The results of bacterial cultures and antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated bacteria obtained fr...

The aim of this research is to examine the influence heat stress (HS) on body temperature (BT) measured rectally (RT) or by infrared thermography (IRT) nose (NT), eye (ET), leg (LT) and abdominal (AT) regions in intensively extensively breed sheep detect a correlation between metabolic response sheep. A total 33 Wurttemberg × Sjenica Pramenka breeds were examined, 17 ewes from outdoors 16 indoo...

A replication-defective recombinant retrovirus containing the human papilloma virus E6/E7 genes (LXSN-16 E6E7) was used to immortalize stromal cells from human marrow. The E6/E7 gene products interfere with the function of tumor-suppressor proteins p53 and Rb, respectively, thereby preventing cell cycle arrest without causing significant transformation. Twenty-seven immortalized clones designat...

Objective(s): Heat stress (HS) is a catastrophic stressor that dampens immunity. The current study investigates the effect of dietary administration with camel whey protein (CWP) on apoptotic pathway caused by HS. Materials and Methods: Forty-five male mice were divided into three groups: a control group; HS group; and HS mice that were orally supplemented with CWP (CWP-HS group). Results: We f...

This study was designed to determine whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC, C(5)H(9)-NO(3)S), a compound from Allium species may be used as a complementary therapeutic agent, to inhibit high-sucrose induced-obesity and its effects on glucose tolerance, in vivo low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-oxidation and serum oxidative stress in rats. Initially, 24 male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: control...
