Recent evidence suggests that a mutation in the spike protein gene of feline coronavirus (FCoV), which results in an amino acid change from methionine to leucine at position 1058, may be associated with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). Tissue and faecal samples collected post mortem from cats diagnosed with or without FIP were subjected to RNA extraction and quantitative reverse-transcripta...

lactic acid bacteria (lab) are gram positive and non- spore forming bacteria that can produce some special substances for growth inhibition of pathogenic, non-pathogenic and food spoilage bacteria. the aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of lactobacillus acidophilus ptcc1643 (dsm 20079) and lactobacillus plantarum ptcc 1058 (atcc 8014) cultural supernatants against urinary...

BACKGROUND Most patients with epilepsy want to learn as much as possible about the disease, and many have turned to the internet for information. Patients are likely to use information obtained from the internet to control their epilepsy, but little is known about the accuracy of this information. In this survey, we have assessed the feasibility and usability of internet-based interventions for...

The knowledge that melanoma is susceptible to attack by the host’s immune Abstract system has resulted in the testing of a variety of immunotherapies. Interferon-α-2b, which has several anti-tumour mechanisms including an antiproliferative effect, an anti-angiogenesis effect, the enhancement of natural-killer cell activity and the upregulation of tumour antigen presentation, has shown tremendou...
