the purpose of this study was to have a general view of pancreas in one species of pigeon.some disorders affect avian pancreas.pancreatitis and pancreatic degeneration have been described in many infections and deficiencies. in pigeon, lymphoid infiltration and necrosis diffusion is a common finding. after anesthesia, tissue pieces were dissected from the lobes. samples were fixed in bouin, pro...

Large organizations, like colleges and companies, send a lot of internal advertising emails. These mass advertising emails are necessary, but they cause two pain points for recipients and senders. Recipients end up with cluttered inboxes with irrelevant emails they need to sift through, decreasing productivity; senders suffer from ineffective emails, since mass emailing reduces the chance of an...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the ImmunoCAP technique for measurement of IgG specific to Aspergillus fumigatus and pigeon antigens. METHODS We used ImmunoCAP and precipitation technique to measure concentrations of IgG to A. fumigatus or pigeon antigens in sera from 265 patients and 42 controls. We also evaluated linearity, interference, imprecision, concordance, and diagnostic accuracy of the meas...

The macula and fovea located at the optical centre of the retina make primate visual perception unique among mammals. Our current understanding of retina ontogenesis is primarily based on animal models having no macula and no fovea. However, the pigeon retina and the human macula share a number of structural and functional properties that justify introducing the former as a new model system for...

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium variant Copenhagen was isolated from 5 of 152 (3.3%) feral pigeons from the city of Ghent (Belgium) and from 26 pooled fecal samples from 114 pigeon lofts (22.8%). These isolates belonged to phage type (PT) 99. Seven of the pigeon isolates were further compared in vitro to five human variant Copenhagen isolates, 2 isolates of PT 208, 1 isolate each of PT ...

The growth and development of Helicoverpa armigera was observed in the laboratory by feeding them on different foods viz; leaf, flower and fruit of lady finger, cotton, pigeon pea and chick pea. Based on the food ingested, food digested and food excreted as well as on weight and size of the larvae and the duration of larval period, the fruit of chick pea was found to be the most suitable food f...

Estrogen regulates reproductive behavior and drives the proliferation and differentiation of several cell types. These physiological functions of estrogen are mediated by estrogen receptors (ERs), and each ER isoform plays a distinct role. To clarify the molecular mechanism of estrogen action and to evaluate the effect of ERs on the secretion of ovalbumin (OVA) in pigeon oviduct epithelial cell...
