The aim of the present study is to observe the changes in bone turnover markers, deoxypyridinoline (Dpd), osteocalcin, n-telopeptide (NTx), and bone alkaline phosphatase (balp) during the experimental orthodontic intrusion of maxillary premolar teeth. The study population required fixed appliance therapy involving the extraction of the maxillary first premolar teeth. Gingival crevicular fluid (...

The last decade has seen numerous outbreaks of Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD), which presented significant challenges for healthcare facilities worldwide. We have identified and purified thuricin CD, a two-component antimicrobial that shows activity against C. difficile in the nanomolar range. Thuricin CD is produced by Bacillus thuringiensis DPC 6431, a bacterial strain isolat...

V. chosen as experimental plant species investigate morphological and ecophysiological adaptation methods in varying light depths black-odorous water. planted tap (D), two types (E F), under three distinct conditions (low light, medium high ...

The centennial celebration of the discovery of X rays was last year, and the first radiograms of the skull were made one hundred years ago (1). Thus, it is appropriate to remember Arthur Schüller, who was “without any shadow of doubt the father of neuroradiology” (2). His biography can be considered an example of the fate of many scientists in our century. Arthur Schüller was born in Brünn (now...

Methamphetamine (MA), a highly addictive psychostimulant, produces long-lasting neurotoxic effects well proven in nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Considering the similarities between pathological profile of MA neurotoxicity and Parkinson's disease (PD), some reports show that previous MA abusers will be at greater risk of PD-like motor deficits. To answer the question if repeated MA exposur...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although there is much known about liver diseases, some aspects remain unclear, such as the nature of the differences between the diseases observed in newborn infants and those in adults. For example, how do newborns respond to duct epithelial cell injury? Do the stellate cells in newborns respond similarly to those in adults during biliary obstruction? METHODS Ninety newb...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of tylvalosin (Aivlosin Water Soluble Granules, ECO Animal Health) in drinking water for control of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M hyo) on a farm with chronic enzootic pneumonia (EP) problems and high prevalence of mycoplasma-like lesions at slaughter. DESIGN On a 4000-sow farm in the southeast of Spain, 1500 animals of same ag...
