introduction: the effects of electromagnetic fields on biological organisms have been a controversial and also interesting debate over the past few decades, despite the wide range of investigations, many aspects of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (elf/emfs) effects including mechanism of their interaction with live organisms and also their possible biological applications still r...

Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in juvenile salmonids and postsmolt stages of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) after transfer to seawater. IPN vaccines have been available for a long time but their efficacy has been variable. The reason for the varying immune response to these vaccines has not well defin...

BACKGROUND Antiretroviral (ARV) medicines reduce the risk of transmitting the HIV virus and are recommended as daily pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in combination with safer sex practices for HIV-negative individuals at a high risk for infection, but are underused in HIV prevention. Previous literature suggests that YouTube is extensively used to share health information. While pre-exposure pr...

We have studied stress-induced reversion to virulence of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in persistently infected Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fry. Naïve fry were persistently infected with a virulent strain (T(217)A(221) of major structural virus protein 2, VP2) or a low virulent (T(217)T(221)) variant of IPNV. The fry were infected prior to immunocompetence as documented by la...

Cats attended to either visual or acoustic moving stimuli in order to perceive the location of their disappearance, which signaled reward in left or right foodwell. The analysis of concomitant electroencephalograms revealed an elevation of the 20 Hz band in the Fourier spectra of activity of respective visual and auditory projection cortices. These oscillations appeared only on the trials that ...

Objectives: To study the pattern of dermatoses among infants who attended dermatology outpatient clinic a tertiary referral center. Materials and Methods: We included 270 consecutive (children aged 1 year below) with department our Using preset proforma, we collected information on patient profile, evolution dermatosis, clinical features. The observed were classified as transient non-infective ...
