Activation of Th1 or Th2 cells is associated with production of specific immunoglobulin isotypes, offering the opportunity to use antibody measurement for evaluation of T cell function. Schistosomiasis and visceral leishmaniasis are diseases associated with Th2 activation. However, an IgE response is not always detected in these patients. In the present study we evaluated specific IgE antibodie...

the objectives were to investigate the effects of addition of alfalfa hay as an absorbent on fermentationquality and effluent production of corn silage. three levels of corn forage with dry matter (dm) contentsof 18.3, 21.7 and 25.5 percent were supplemented with 0, 5, 10, and 20 percent alfalfa hay, on as fedbasis, and ensiled in three replicates in polyvinyl chloride mini-silos in a completel...

Miller, Glendon R. (Southern Illinois University, Carbondale), Dan O. McClary, and Wilbert D. Bowers, Jr. Ultraviolet and phase microscopy of sporulating Saccharomyces. J. Bacteriol. 85:725-731. 1963.-During active growth, the cytoplasm of yeast cells is densely absorbent to ultraviolet light at 260 mmu, whereas the nucleus is only faintly so, and the vacuole is nonabsorbent. After 24 hr on pre...

Previous studies have demonstrated that rapid evacuation, disrobing and emergency decontamination can enhance the ability of emergency services and acute hospitals to effectively manage chemically-contaminated casualties. The purpose of this human volunteer study was to further optimise such an "Initial Operational Response" by (1) identifying an appropriate method for performing improvised ski...

sawdust of the most inexpensive and abundant most engrossing read and the ability to absorb heavy metals from water and wastewater types. on the other hand increased metal hexavalent chromium (cr6 +) in drinking water cause toxicity, and complications from it can be. so the purpose of this research, effects of the dosage absorbent sawduste, equilibrium time, the efficiency of absorption and cal...

AIM The aim of this paper is to report a study to determine the effects of absorbent pads on the pressure-relieving properties of 'standard' and pressure management mattresses. BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers and incontinence often co-exist. There is a strong association between poor mobility and continence problems and patients using pressure management products are therefore also likely to be us...

to investigate effects of different super absorbent polymer and animal manure ratios on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of soybean under drought stress, a split plots experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in marvdasht, iran in 2009. main factor included of irrigation with 50, 100 and 150 mm evaporation from pan class a and su...
