Objectives: to investigate classification and possible causes of dulaa disorders and effect of surgical removal on male sexual desire. Animals: Twenty six male camels (age=6-13years) with dulaa injuries were admitted to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Qassim University, Saudi Arabia. Sixteen camels showed signs of protruding, fluctuating and edematous dulaas. Other ten camels showed signs of...

The purpose of this research was to test the hypothesis that starch-entrapped microspheres would produce favourable fermentation profiles and microbial shifts during in vitro fermentation with the faecal microbiota from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In vitro fermentation was carried out using a validated, dynamic, computer-controlled model of the human colon (Toegepast Natuurw...

Phage therapy has been a centre of attraction for biomedical scientists to treat infections caused by drug resistant strains. However, ability of phage to act only on extracellular bacteria and probability of interference by anti-phage antibodies in vivo is considered as a important limitation of bacteriophage therapy. To overcome these hurdles, liposome were used as delivery vehicle for phage ...

Liposome-entrapped streptomycin (SM) was compared with free SM for therapeutic efficacy against experimental salmonellosis in mice. All of the mice infected with the virulent strain of Salmonella enteritidis 116-54 died between days 5 and 7, and a dose of 20 mg of free SM per kg administered 24 h after the bacterial inoculation did not prolong the survival. In contrast, the same dose of SM entr...

In order to determine whether the enhanced specific antibody productivity (qMAb) of calcium alginate-entrapped hybridoma is cell line-specific, calcium alginate-entrapped hybridomas (4A2 and DB9G8) were cultivated under the condition where we had previously observed significantly enhanced qMAb of calcium alginate-entrapped S3H5/gamma 2bA2 hybridoma. Unlike S3H5/gamma 2bA2 hybridoma, neither 4A2...

in order to study the effects of integrative applications of chemical fertilizers and biofertilizers on grain yield and oil of borago officinalis under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted at kermanshah, iran, in 2011. experiment was arranged as split plot under a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. water deficit stress with four levels was applied as the mai...

Millions of microbial taxa inhabit the rhizosphere and could be used as biofertilizers, biopesticides, and/or for bioremediation. Only a fraction of these microbes have been described and/or are being utilized. Most are dispersed in collections, but coordination of their accessibility and availability is challenging. Here, we present the Pan-European Rhizosphere Resource Network (PERN), which i...
