Grill / Top Oven Element Neospora caninum is a coccidian protozoan parasite which is a major cause of bovine abortions and neonatal mortality in cattle, sheep, goat and horse.Occasionally, cultured cells are used for isolation and multiplication of the agent in vitro with several purposes.In this study the tachyzoite yields of N.caninum were compar
Policies restricting flavors and non-cigarette tobacco product availability: A study of vape shops in San Francisco and Alameda Counties, California, USA
We examined flavored non-cigarette tobacco availability in brick-and-mortar vape shops in San Francisco (SF) and Alameda Counties, California (USA), comparing cities organized by flavored tobacco sales restriction policy.A total of 22 brick-and-mortar vape shops were identified and audited in October-November 2019; shops were located in SF City-Cou
The Pathological and Physiological Roles of IL-6 Amplifier Activation
The NFκB-triggered positive feedback loop for IL-6 signaling in type 1 collagen+ non-immune cells (IL-6 amplifier) was first discovered to be a synergistic signal that is activated following IL-17A and IL-6 stimulation in type 1 collagen+ non-immune cells.Subsequent disease models Power Module have shown that it can also be stimulated by the s
Robotic-assisted dual kidney transplantation
Aim: The aim of this study was to report the feasibility of robotic-assisted dual kidney transplantation (DKT) in a marginal donor.Materials and Methods: The case was a 53-year-old male, who with IgA nephropathy underwent a robotic-assisted robotic DKT.Results: The total operating time was 265 min, total console time was 215 min, and anastomotic ti
Sexual dimorphism in the Bathonian morphoceratid ammonite Polysphinctites tenuiplicatus
Asphinctites tenuiplicatus [M] and Polysphinctites secundus [m] from the Asphinctites tenuiplicatus Zone (Early Bathonian), are usually considered as a sexual dimorphic pair, although authors describe them as separate species.We used statistical methods to test the sexual dimorphic correspondence between those morphospecies, based on a rather large
