Domestic fowl in small groups are assumed to establish hierarchical systems based on individual recognition. Conversely, interactions in large groups are modulated by badges of status. Previous studies suggested that birds differing in phenotypic appearance (PA) became targets for aggression, possibly mistaking altered PA for badges of status. We evaluated the impact of altering PA on 0, 30, 50...

The objective was to evaluate the effect of tannery sludge vermicompost in the chemical properties of soil cultivated with tomato and irrigated with wastewater. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial 6 × 2, totaling twelve treatments with three replications. The treatments were: four tannery sludge vermicompost (25% Sludge tannery(LC) + manure T1, 25% Sludge tannery(LC...

Background: The area-at-risk (AAR) is a key determinant of myocardial infarction (MI) size. We investigated whether MRI measurement of AAR would correlate with an angiographic AAR risk score in patients with acute MI. Methods and Results: Bright blood T2-prepared steady-state free-precession MRI (T2-SSFP MRI) was used to depict the AAR in 50 consecutive acute MI patients while infarct size was ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate whether vitrification in the cryopreservation of periodontal ligament (PDL) cells could be useful for tooth banking. METHODS In step 1, primary cultured human PDL cells were cryopreserved in 100% conventional cryopreservation media and 100% vitrification media (ESF40 media) in different temperatures for 2 weeks. In step 2, a series of modified ...

PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic ability of reduced FOV diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging with that of 3D dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR imaging in evaluating the depth of myometrial invasion in patients with endometrial cancer. METHODS Three tesla MR images including T2-weighted imaging, reduced FOV DW imaging and 3D DCE MR imaging in sagittal and oblique axial (short axis) planes in 2...

A field experiment was conducted in the experimental of Sant Baba Bhag Singh University, Khiala to find out effect organic and inorganic manures on growth yield Gobhi sarson.

Background. Candida species are the fourth leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections in the United States, however incidence is low and most patients who receive empiric treatment do not actually have candidemia. Unfortunately, detection, identification and susceptibility testing using standard instrumented blood culture systems and routine microbiological techniques takes 4–10 days. A...

Axillary lymph node (LN) metastasis is one of the most important prognostic factors for the survival of breast cancer. The correlation between LN metastasis and the tumor (T) category has previously been investigated in certain case series. At present, the initial treatment approach is to define the intrinsic subtype, as it is significant in determining medical treatments, as well as being a pr...
