At each of three locations, 400 steers and an equal number of heifers were randomized to 10 treatment groups. The purpose of the studies was to evaluate the response of feedlot steers and heifers to single implants containing a combination of estradiol benzoate (EB) and trenbolone acetate (TBA) at two different ratios each at three doses. The selected ratios corresponded to 1E2(estradiol-17 bet...

Abstract As the reliance on transboundary groundwater is increasing globally, it important to understand and address specific issues raised by assessment management of aquifers (TBAs). Building 20 years TBA experience through a three-pillar framework (assessment, cooperation-collaboration, shared management), key elements addressing are described, including multidisciplinary approach, identific...

New regimens based on two or more novel agents are sought in order to shorten or simplify the treatment of both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. PA-824 is a nitroimidazo-oxazine now in phase II trials and has shown significant early bactericidal activity alone and in combination with the newly approved agent bedaquiline or with pyrazinamide with or without moxifloxacin...

Our aim was to study changes in red blood cell (RBC) membrane band 3 profile, as a cumulative marker of RBC changes, in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients under haemodialysis and recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) therapy and its linkage with resistance to this therapy. We studied 63 CKD patients, 32 responders and 31 non-responders to rhEPO therapy, and 26 healthy individuals. We eval...

BACKGROUND While 79% of Nigerian mothers who deliver in facilities receive postnatal care within 48 h of delivery, this is only true for 16% of mothers who deliver outside facilities. Most maternal deaths can be prevented with access to timely and competent health care. Thus, the World Health Organization, International Confederation of Midwives, and International Federation of Gynecology and O...

We present in this work a structural model of the open IKCa (KCa3.1) channel derived by homology modeling from the MthK channel structure, and used this model to compute the transmembrane potential profile along the channel pore. This analysis showed that the selectivity filter and the region extending from the channel inner cavity to the internal medium should respectively account for 81% and ...

Trials were conducted with beef heifers at 4 sites to evaluate feedlot performance and carcass characteristics in response to implants containing 14 mg estradiol benzoate and 100 mg trenbolone acetate (EB/TBA; Synovex Choice, Zoetis LLC, New York, NY), 14 mg estradiol benzoate (EB), 100 mg trenbolone acetate (TBA), or a sham-implanted control (SC). The study design at each site was a randomized...

The affinity of an 8-bromodeoxyguanosine- (8-BrdG-) substituted thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA-Br), which has the 1st and 10th guanosine residues replaced with 8-BrdG, was estimated using reflectometric interference spectroscopy (RIfS). When comparing TBA-Br with unmodified TBA (TBA-H), it was demonstrated that the modification effectively improved the affinity of TBA; dissociation constants (K(...
