Ornithohac/erium rhino/rachea/e (ORT) is a relatively rceently diseovered bacterium. which it is associated with respiratory diseases, Tracheal samplcs from carcasses of 100 roultry tlocks submitted to Razi Institute were examined for ORT isolation. Ali these tlocks were affected with respiratory disorders. Colonies of ORT were detected after 24h of incubation and identification of ORT isolates...

BACKGROUND Since 2008, a progressive pneumonia has become prevalent in broilers and laying hens. This disease occurrs the first day after hatching and lasts more than 30 days, resulting in approximately 70% morbidity and 30% mortality in broilers. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify the pathogens that are responsible for the progressive pneumonia and establish an animal mode...

The effect of the weaving architecture and z-binding yarns, for 2D 3D woven composites on low-velocity impact resistance carbon fibre reinforced composites, is investigated benchmarked against noncrimp fabric (NCF). Four architectures, namely: NCF, plain weave (2D-PW), orthogonal: (ORT-PW) twill (ORT-TW), were subjected to 15 J using a 16 mm-diameter, 6.7 kg hemispherical impactor. Nondestructi...

PURPOSE To quantify impressions of mitochondrial translocation in degenerating cones and to determine the nature of accumulated material in the subretinal space with apparent inner segment (IS)-like features by examining cone IS ultrastructure. METHODS Human donor eyes with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were screened for outer retinal tubulation (ORT) in macula-wide, high-re...
