REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Equine rhinitis viruses (ERV) cause respiratory disease and loss of performance in horses. It has been suggested that the economic significance of these viruses may have been underestimated due to insensitive methods of detection. OBJECTIVES To develop a sensitive, rapid, real-time RT-PCR (rRT-PCR) assay suitable for the routine diagnosis and epidemiological surve...

The plasmasphere is a region of cold and dense plasma around the Earth, corotating with Earth. Its density very dynamic under influence solar wind it influences several processes such as GPS navigation, surface charging satellites propagation growth waves. In this manuscript, we present new machine-learning model equatorial depending only on Kp index solar-wind properties at L1 Lagrange point. ...

BACKGROUND Gene expression profiling has recently shown that the mRNA for CD24 is overexpressed in prostate carcinomas (Pca) compared to benign or normal prostate epithelial tissues. Immunohistochemical studies have reported the usefulness of anti-CD24 for detecting prostate cancer over the full range of prostate specimens encountered in surgical pathology, e.g. needle biopsies, transurethral r...

We evaluated a highly sensitive quantitative real-time one-step reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) for detection of human cytomegalovirus pp67 transcripts in monitoring of solid-organ transplant recipients. Results were compared with those of pp65 antigen testing and quantitative DNA-PCR. Due to a low clinical sensitivity, the pp67 RT-PCR was not able to replace these assays.
