The pulse of pediatrics in Rhode Island.

Introduction: A view of Rhode Island pediatrics.

Characterization of Production and Reproduction Performances in Rhode Island Red-White Strain Chicken

This study aimed to characterize production and reproduction performances in Rhode Island Red-White strain chicken developed and maintained at the Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar. Three hundred and forty six fertile eggs were set in automated electric incubation and 234 chicks were investigated in three hatches. The performance data was analyzed by least squares analysis of variance...

Estimating microsatellite based genetic diversity in Rhode Island Red chicken

This study aimed to estimate microsatellite based genetic diversity in two lines (the selected RIRS and control line RIRC) of Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken. Genomic DNA of 24 randomly selected birds maintained at Central Avian Research Institute (India) and 24 microsatellite markers were used. Microsatellite alleles were determined on 6% urea-PAGE, recorded using GelDoc system and the samples ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoate Derivatives as Src Kinase Inhibitors

In this work, different ethyl 2,4-dioxo-4-arylbutanoate derivatives were prepared and evaluated for their Src Kinase inhibitory activity. For this purpose, the appropriate substituted acetophenone derivatives reacted with diethyl oxalate in the presence of sodium ethoxide in dried ethanol to give the corresponding products. All compounds showed moderate activities comparing with staurosporine a...

Community-acquired pneumonia in children.

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common infections encountered in pediatrics, with an annual incidence of approximately 40 cases per 1000 children in North America. Despite its frequency, CAP in children remains difficult to diagnose, evaluate, and manage because many pathogens may be responsible, co-infections occur frequently, clinical features may vary widely, and labora...
