"Upper limits of normal" antistreptolysin O (ASO) and antideoxyribonuclease (ADN) B titers were determined on serum specimens from various age groups of pediatric patients with no history of a recent streptococcal infection and on healthy adult hospital employees. The upper limit of normal value is that level of antibody titer exceeded by no more than 15% of the total subjects in each age group...

Nowadays, Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent epiphenomenon of the aging population. Although soluble amyloid-β (Aβ) species (monomers, oligomers) are recognized triggers of the disease, no therapeutic approach is able to stop it.

The present study deals two new alpheid shrimp species from the transisthmian Salmoneus ortmanni (Rankin, 1898) complex. Salmoneus alvarezi sp. nov. is described based on materials collected in Bahía Málaga, Colombia, and Punta Morales, Costa Rica, and is closely related to the western Atlantic S. ortmanni and S. wehrtmanni Anker, 2011. Salmoneus malagensis sp. nov. is described based on specim...

evaluation of essential oil yield, morphological and phenological traits of seven populations of twochamomilespecies )matricaria aurea and m. recutita), were carried out using randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) in three replications in alborz research station in karaj, iran during 2011-2012. data were collected for 12 morphological and phenological traits. analysis of variance showed si...

Strategic application of moxidectin pour-on (Cydectin) was evaluated in Uganda for its effect on pasture larval counts and gastrointestinal nematode faecal egg counts in village cattle kept under tethering (semi-intensive) grazing management. The strategic deworming schedule involved treating cattle twice at an interval of 2 months, at the end of the 1st wet season and during the 2nd wet season...

A draft genome for Corynebacterium afermentans LCDC 88-0199(T) was investigated. The size of the genome was 2,345,615 bp with an observed G+C content of 64.85%. Annotation revealed 2 rRNA sequences, 54 tRNA genes, and 2,164 coding sequences. Genome coverage was 85× and consisted of 24 contigs with an N50 of 187,988 bp.
