background & aim: the recent study was conducted to investigate the effects of thyme extract in drinking water on immune response of broiler chickens. experimental:  a total of 245 day-old broiler chicks were purchased and 20 chicks were bled for determination maternal antibody and remaining chicks divided into 5 equal groups. chickens of group a, b and c received 0.1%, 0.15% and 0.2% ofthy...

Matters Arising diagnosed for less than three weeks), and four healthy Retroviral Superantigens and Type 1 adult controls. All subjects were of Caucasoid extrac-Diabetes Mellitus tion. RT-PCRs, with the Conrad et al. (1997) protocol and reagents, generated a band of the expected size (489 bp) for IDDMK 1,2 22 with U3-R-poly(A) primer from In 1994, Conrad et al. reported initial results that rek...

The intention of this study was to estimate the pharmacological advantage of a clinically applicable method of isolated liver perfusion (ILP) over hepatic artery infusion (HAI) administering various doses of 5-fluorouracil (FUra). FUra concentrations were measured using highperformance liquid chromatography in liver tissue (pigs and rats), hepatic tumor tissue (rats), and in the systemic circul...

We participated (as Team 81) in the Article Classification (ACT) and Interaction Method (IMT) subtasks of the Protein-Protein Interaction task of the Biocreative III Challenge. For the ACT we pursued an extensive testing of available Named Entity Recognition (NER) tools, and used the most promising ones to extend our the Variable Trigonometric Threshold (VTT) linear classifier we successfully u...

Enteral nutrition is the best feeding meth− od in critically ill patients since it pro− vides a complete nutrition with a low in− cidence of complications. However, some severe complications have been described [1]. We have seen three critically ill pa− tients who, after several days of enteral nutrition (Standard Isosource; Novartis Consumer Health SA, Osthofen, Germany) and with no previous w...

We have attempted to evaluate the degree to which hepatic arterial infusion of 5-fluoro-2 -deoxyuridine (FdUrd) or 5-fluorouracil produces higher hepatic and lower systemic drug concentrations than are achieved with corresponding peripheral venous infusions. Hepatic arterial catheters were placed for therapy in 15 patients with primary or metastatic liver cancer. Temporary he patic venous cathe...

Surgical instruments are not only illustrative of the changes in operative therapy, but may well serve as a framework around which can be built a representation of the development of medical culture. This, in an abbreviated form, Dr. Thompson has done, using the collection of which he is curator in the Royal College of Surgeons of England as a nucleus. This material, which was particularly rich...

For sometime past we have been interested in the effect of myoinositol on cholesterol me tabolism in rats (1-3). All these studies were made under experimental conditions designed at this laboratory, which are suitable to investi gate myoinositol deficiency and supplementation. Under such conditions, it has been shown that myoinositol promotes the recovery of delayed transport of hepatogenic ch...

ction is a key factor in molecular genetic testing. Automation of this process has some benefits, including increased throughput, more consistent and reproducible processing and improved sample tracking. Manufacturers have produced a plethora of platforms, with different extraction chemistries. However, the extraction of large blood volumes (>1 ml) is still a eparation Module I n), integrated w...
