The effect of mixed live vaccines of Newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis on systemic and local antibody responses in chickens

In the present study, 360 male day-old broiler chicks were used to determine the effect of mixed livevaccines of Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bronchitis (IB) on serum and local antibody responses toIB. Chicks were randomly divided into 12 treatment groups of 3 replicates and reared for 40 days on floorpens. Groups 1 to 5 received mixed ND and IB vaccine. Groups 7 to 11 received IB vacc...

A local presentation of systemic disease.

Accepted 27 September 1995 A 67-year-old woman presented with a three-month history of bilateral hearing loss, worse on the right, without nasal or aural discharge and no haemoptysis. Examination showed fluid levels bilaterally, with the appearance of a middle ear mass through the tympanic membrane on the right. Audiograms demonstrated mixed sensorimotor and conductive deafness. Urea and electr...

IFN-γ acts on the airway epithelium to inhibit local and systemic pathology in allergic airway disease.

Inhibiting allergic airway inflammation is the goal of therapy in persistent asthma. Administration of medication via the airways delivers drug directly to the site of inflammation and avoids systemic side effects but often fails to modulate systemic features of asthma. We have shown that Th1 cells, through production of IFN-γ, inhibit many Th2-induced effector functions that promote disease. U...

local and systemic effects of unpolymerised monomers

methyl methacrylate (mma), a widely used monomer in dentistry and medicine has been reported to cause abnormalities or lesions in several organs. experimental and clinical studies have documented that monomers may cause a wide range of adverse health effects such as irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, allergic dermatitis, stomatitis, asthma, neuropathy, disturbances of the central n...
