BACKGROUND Intestinal disease in nursery pigs is the most common cause of antibiotic usage in pigs in Denmark. The decision to initiate batch medication of intestinal diseases in nursery pigs is typically made by the stock personnel based on clinical assessments of pigs and counting of diarrhoeic faecal pools on the pen floor. The target population of this study was batches of nursery pigs (10-...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the success of selective intraarterial radionuclide therapy (SIRT) with Yttrium-90 (Y-90) microspheres in liver metastases of different tumors. We also interpreted the contribution of SIRT to survival times according to respondernon responder and hepaticextra hepatic disease. Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 124 patients who were refe...

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are distinctive tumors which arise from cells which have neural and hormonal origins. The most common clinically-encountered NETs are gastroenteropancreatic tumors (GEP NETs), lung carcinoids, pheochromocytoma, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Imaging plays a key role in the evaluation of these tumors including detection, staging, response assessment, and prognostic...

Verocytotoxic Escherichia (E.) coli strains are responsible for swine oedema disease, which is an enterotoxaemia that causes economic losses in the pig industry. The production of a vaccine for oral administration in transgenic seeds could be an efficient system to stimulate local immunity. This study was conducted to transform tobacco plants for the seed-specific expression of antigenic protei...

This paper combines issues related to strategic environmental policy in the case of the design of emissions permits, which affects the rules of international trade. Our model, based on a strategic environmental policy’s framework, analyzes a class of two stages Cournot game involving two governments (Domestic and Foreign) and their respective industry, which compete in a third country market.

In the treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), complete wound healing is an important goal. Although foot perfusion status seems to be for healing, global limb anatomic staging system (GLASS) Global Vascular Guidelines (GVG) does not include pedal artery process due lack sufficient evidence its importance. This study aimed clarify importance after bypass surgery. Among 153 CLTI c...

Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) bacteria frequently cause watery diarrhoea in newborn and weaned pigs. Plasmids carrying genes of different enterotoxins and fimbrial adhesins, as well as plasmids conferring antimicrobial resistance are of prime importance in the epidemiology and pathogenesis of ETEC. Recent studies have revealed the significance of the porcine ETEC plasmid pTC, carrying tetracyc...
