Tuberculous pleural fluid macrophages and peripheral blood monocytes tended to produce higher IL-1 activity than malignant pleural fluid ...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the presence of interleukin (IL)-27 in pleural effusions and to evaluate the diagnostic significance of pleural IL-27. The concentrations of IL-27 were determined in pleural fluids and sera from 68 patients with tuberculous pleural effusion, 63 malignant pleural effusion, 22 infectious pleural effusion, and 21 transudative pleural effusion. ...

According to this, it is possible to select a level of dilution of tuberculin such that at that level most of the tuberculous persons will react and a very negligible proportion of non-tuberculous persons also will s...

The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for repeat breeder dairy cows and their impact on reproductive performance. characteristics 1,504 cows, including peripartum health, nutrition, production, reproduction, were collected. Cows with metabolic disorder significantly more likely (odds ratio [OR], 2.47; p < 0.001) clinical endometritis tended be (OR, 1.35; 0.1) become breede...
