Many statistical tests have been developed for detecting positive selection. Most of these tests draw conclusions based on significant deviations from the patterns of polymorphism predicted by the neutral model. However, many non-equilibrium forces may cause similar deviations, and thus the tests usually have low statistical specificity to positive selection. The main challenge is hence to cons...

laboratory animals, including rats, play an important role in biomedical research and advances. the human care and management of these animals is an ongoing concern. since, trichosomoides infections in rat colonies can interfere with research protocols it is important to know rate of infection and pathology of the infection in the animals used in experimental studies. 275 rats were eviscerated ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to compare micro-sutures commonly used in our midst. METHODS In this double-blind study, 30 Wistar rats were operated randomly divided into three groups matched according to the suture used (Nylon 10-0, 75micron, brands Microsuture((r)), Polysuture((r)) and Ethicon((r))). We analyzed the number of surgical nodes required, bleeding, surgical time and histolog...
