Wastes generated from the production of cattle and swine in confined facilities create the potential for surface and groundwater pollution, emission of greenhouse gases, transmission of pathogens to food and water sources, and odor. It is our hypothesis that something which inhibits microbial fermentation in livestock wastes will be beneficial to solving some of the environmental problems. Our ...

Introduction Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare form of primary immunodeficiencies characterized by predisposition for poorly virulent infection agents, primarily non-tuberculous mycobacteria and Salmonella. It has been shown that molecular basis of these diseases is mutations in at least 7 genes in the IL12-dependent IFN-g axis including IFNGR1, IFNGR2, IL-12/IL...

This article is a presentation of a clinical methodology aimed at minimizing binding in fixed orthodontic appliances. The dynforce archwire is explained. The dynforce archwire has a full size anterior segment (e.g. .021×.025) and undersized posterior segments with rectangular cross-section (e.g. .018×.025 or .018×.022), and is used in the orthodontic phase of space closure with or without TAD m...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Injuries of tracheal mucosa in contact with tracheal tube cuff is a function of cuff pressure and exposure time. This study aimed at analyzing injuries of tracheal mucosa in contact with tracheal tube cuff inflated to reach "seal" pressure or limit 25 cmH2O pressure, below critical 30 cmH2O, to prevent tracheal damage. METHODS This study involved 16 dogs submitted to...

Resequencing has shown that three clones used for making in situ hybridization (ISH) probes for this manuscript were initially misidentified (gene IDs from Figure 1: G17, G23, and G25). The correct identities of these clones are as follow: Glo1, Hnrpa1, and Dkk3, respectively. This finding led the authors to resynthesize and test all ten probes made in the batch which included these misidentifi...

The effects of daily metabolizable energy intakes of 9.5 (low), 15.4 (medium) and 24.9 (high) Mcal in pregnant yearling heifers on maternal serum metaboli te concentrations and on fetal development as indicated by RNA, DNA and protein concentrations in liver and semitendinosus muscle were studied in 88 crossbred heifers. Pregnant heifers were slaughtered at 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 and 255 d...

Glycerol monolaurate (GML), a representative fatty acid glyceride, was used to promote growth. This study investigated the effects of GML in diets on growth, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant capacity, liver morphology and lipid metabolism for juvenile pompano Trachinotus ovatus . Six groups T. (mean weight = 14.00 ± 0.70 g) were fed with six diets, containing varying levels 0.00% (G0),...
