A 22-year old mare from Switzerland was admitted to an equine clinic in May 2011. She presented with fever, lethargy, icteric mucous membranes, reduced alertness, an unsteady gait and ataxia. An Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection was confirmed by blood smear and PCR. The mare was treated with oxytetracylin and recovered rapidly, but she still suffered from a slight atactic gait disturbance at ...

ago, " Where on earth is Weston-super-Mare ? " for this bright little town has in a brief period grown from a village composed of a few fisher-huts, scattered here and there about its sandy wastes, to a fashionable seaside resort of no mean renown, bidding fair to beat in the struggle for popularity many, if not all, of its West of England rivals. In the month of August of 1819, when the justly...

Our purpose is to examine an alternative idea describing the reproductive tract microbiome in mare. Defining microflora any species including mare lies need be able determine physiologic state of healthy patients order develop a deeper understanding impact dysbiosis can have on overall health. With background information we have, and advancement sequencing techniques at our disposal it may time...

[1] TheMoscoviense Basin, on the northern portion of the lunar farside, displays topography with a partial peak ring, in addition to rings that are offset to the southeast. These rings do not follow the typical concentric ring spacing that is recognized with other basins, suggesting that they may have formed as a result of an oblique impact or perhaps multiple impacts. In addition to the unusua...

BACKGROUND Strong oestrous symptoms in the mare can cause problems with racing, training and handling. Since long-acting progesterone treatment is not permitted in mares at competition (e.g. according to FEI rules), there is a need for methods to suppress unwanted cyclicity. Spontaneous dioestrous ovulations in the late luteal phase may cause a prolongation of the luteal phase in mares. METHO...

An analysis of 34 lunar lava flows and ponds in the eastern limb Smythii and Marginis basins was undertaken to examine and model the first stages of secondary crustal formation and assess processes involved in magma transport and eruption. In order to isolate the characteristics of single eruptive pisodes, we focused on discrete mare ponds adjacent to the major mafia. Mean values for areas and ...

Tung-Liang Lee, Shau-Ching Wen, Wei-Yuan Hsiao, Che-Kun James Shen, and Yu-Chiau Shyu (2009) Self-regulation of mouse p45/NF-E2 during murine erythroleukemia cell differentiation. Zoological Studies 48(3): 362-369. The complicated process of murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cell differentiation is precisely controlled by a group of transcription factors. One of those transcription factors, p45/NF-E...

A new abortigenic disease, now known as mare reproductive loss syndrome (MRLS), significantly affected the horse industry in the Ohio River Valley of the United States in late April and early May of 2001 and 2002. In 2001, approximately 25% of all pregnant mares aborted within several weeks (over 3,000 mares lost pregnancies), and abortion rates exceeded 60% on some farms. Mare reproductive los...

We report new high-precision laser fluorination three-isotope oxygen data for lunar materials. Terrestrial silicates with a range of δO values (−0.5 to 22.9‰) were analyzed to independently determine the slope of the terrestrial fractionation line (TFL; λ=0.5259±0.0008; 95% confidence level). This new TFL determination allows direct comparison of lunar oxygen isotope systematics with those of E...

BACKGROUND Sex steroid hormone receptors have been identified in the adrenal gland of rat, sheep and rhesus monkey, indicating a direct effect of sex steroids on adrenal gland function. METHODS In the present study, immunohistochemistry using two different mouse monoclonal antibodies was employed to determine the presence of oestrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and progesterone receptor (PR) in...
