myiasis is defined as the infestation of living tissues of vertebrates by dipteran fly larvae. clinically, based on the affected organ of host by dipteran larvae the type of myiasis is determined. oral myiasis is a rare type of myiasis. a two year-old goat with history of anorexia was referred to the veterinary clinic. physical examinations showed the gingival myiasis in lower jaw. a total numb...

Thyroidal function in goats as estimated by PBI values of blood serum showed a very high activity in oestrus, followed by that in pregnancy state. There was significant increase in PBI values between oestrus and non-pregnancy groups. The lack of significance between pregnancy and non-pregnancy values has been explained. Mean PBI values in oestrus, pregnancy and non-pregnancy were respectively 5...

Soha (2009), doi:10.1016/j.anbehav.2009.02.021 T E D P R O Adult male grasshopper sparrows sing two structurally and functionally distinct songs: buzz song and warble song. To investigate how these songs develop, we tutored three groups of young males in the laboratory: one with recordings, one with live adult tutors and one with no song (isolate bi...

OBJECTIVE The timely diagnosis of hearing loss in the pediatric population has significant implications for a child's development. However, audiological evaluation in this population poses unique challenges due to difficulties with patient cooperation. Though specialized adaptations exist (such as conditioned play audiometry), these methods can be time consuming and costly. The objective of thi...

Walker, Dillon, and Byrne (1984) suggested reference equivalent threshold sound pressure levels (RETSPLs) for warble tones with specific modulation parameter values audited from a test position at the critical distance in a semireverberant sound field. This study evaluated these RETSPLs in two typical audiometric rooms and with typically encountered FM tones. Thresholds were measured under earp...
