Reports of the parasitological, haematological and serological diagnoses of clinical feline toxoplasmosis in 10 middle-aged Siamese cats are made with special emphasis on the reconciliation of different diagnostic findings in the process of making a definitive diagnosis. Three of the cats were immuno-competent while the remaining 7 were immuno-compromised due to retroviral co-infections. Major ...

BACKGROUND A subgroup of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients with severe immunodeficiency show persistently low CD4+ cell counts despite sustained viral suppression. It is unclear whether this immuno-virological discordance translates into an increased risk for clinical events. METHODS Data analysis from a large multicenter cohort incorporating 14,433 HIV-1-infected ...

Proper nutrition offers one of the most effective and least costly ways to decrease the burden of numerous diseases and their associated risk factors. Modern nutritional research significantly contributes to improving health of both current and future generations.

Background: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) are used as a source for cell therapy in different model for neurological disorder such as stroke and spinal cord injury. However, the transdifferentiation of BMSC into cholinergic phenotype requires more investigation. Methods: BMSC were isolated from adult rats, pre-induced with β-mercaptoethanol (BME) and followed by nerve growth factor (NGF) indu...
