Brucella spp. that cause marine brucellosis are becoming more important, as the disease appears to be more widespread than originally thought. Here, we report a whole and annotated genome sequence of Brucella ceti CRO350, a sequence type 27 strain isolated from a bottlenose dolphin carcass found in the Croatian part of the northern Adriatic Sea.

background: this study examined the applicability of trans-theoretical model (ttm) to understand exercise behavior among female college students in hamadan university of medical sciences, iran in 2007. methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. the dependent variables analyzed were exercise efficacy expectation, decisional balance (pros and cons). the independent variable was s...

patients with syndrome x coronary disease represent a heterogeneous group of patients. medical treatment with dilators and calcium channel blockers are not very effective. we evaluated the use of transmyocardial laser revascularization (tmlr) in treating 5 patients with this syndrome. between may 2002 to december 2005, 5 patients with cardiac syndrome x (mean age of 49.7 years) underwent tmlr. ...

leishmania is a protozoan parasite belonging to the family trypanosomatidae, which is found among 88 different countries. the parasite lives as an amastigote in vertebrate macro­phages and as a promastigote in the digestive tract of sand fly. it can be cultured in the laboratory us­ing appropriate culture media. although the sexual cycle of leishmania has not been observed during the promastigo...

[1] Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across the Northern Apennines (Italy) subduction zone are imaged using a new method for the analysis of teleseismic receiver functions (RFs). More than 13,000 P‐wave coda of teleseismic records from the 2003–2007 Retreating‐Trench, Extension, and Accretion Tectonics (RETREAT) experiment are used to provide new insights into a peculiar subduction ...

The paper reports the first record of Nemichthys scolopaceus leptocephalus in Adriatic Sea, including a detailed description specimen with morphometric measurements and meristic counts. A single was caught on 18th September 2016 south small mid-water trawl at depth approx. 120 meters. Further research is needed to reveal more information about distribution potential spawning nursery areas slend...

We analyzed data from catch statistics, scientific surveys and results from ecosystem models to assess main changes in marine resources of the North-Central Adriatic Sea (Central Mediterranean) from the mid 1970s to the early 2000s. We then quantified food-web changes using these datasets and trophodynamic indicators. We applied time series trends and a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to red...

Holocene paleohydrology reconstruction is derived combining planktonic and benthic stable oxygen and carbon isotopes, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and oxygen isotope composition of seawater (δOw) from a high sedimentation core collected in the South Adriatic Sea (SAS). Core chronology is based on 10 AMS 14C measures on planktonic foraminifera and tephra layers. Results reveal two contrasted ...

AIM To investigate the prevalence of chronic respiratory symptoms in 9 metapopulations on Adriatic islands in Croatia, and the relationship between respiratory symptoms and individual genetic background. METHODS We obtained random sample of 1001 adult inhabitants of 9 Adriatic island villages in Croatia, that also included immigrants to these villages. European Union respiratory health questi...
