Morphologic distinction of Müllerian carcinomas from non-Müllerian carcinomas in effusion specimens by cytomorphology alone can be diagnostically challenging. Therefore, immunohistochemical adjuncts can be useful in differentiating Müllerian from non-Müllerian metastases. In this study, we evaluated the expression of PAX8 and PAX2 in malignant effusions collected from patients with known Müller...

Thermal epimerization is the key to changing the endo-to-exo ratio of the diastereomeric bornyl and fenchyl Grignard reagents from 67:33 to 96:4 and from 20:80 to 80:20, respectively.

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to characterise feline audiogenic reflex seizures (FARS). METHODS An online questionnaire was developed to capture information from owners with cats suffering from FARS. This was collated with the medical records from the primary veterinarian. Ninety-six cats were included. RESULTS Myoclonic seizures were one of the cardinal signs of this syndrome (90/96), freque...

The sensitivities and specificities of several different diagnostic assays for Streptococcus pneumoniae were assessed using 99 clinical isolates of S. pneumoniae and 101 viridans streptococci and were as follows: Pneumoslide, 99 and 87%, respectively; Directigen, 100 and 85%, respectively; Phadebact, 100 and 98%, respectively; deoxycholate drop test, 99 and 98%, respectively; deoxycholate tube ...

Fresh water fish, Heteropneustes fossilis were subjected to 5.76 μg/L (0.8 of 96 h 50% lethal concentration, LC50) and 1.44 μg/L (0.2 of 96 h LC50) solution of cypermethrin for short-term (96 h) and long-term (28 days), respectively. After short-term cypermethrin exposure, the plasma calcium levels of Heteropneustes fossilis showed a decrease which persisted for 96 h. In long-term exposed fish,...

Two experiments were conducted to estimate standardized P retention (SPR) values of dicalcium phosphate (DCP), monocalcium phosphate (MCP), and monopotassium phosphate (MKP) in broilers. In total, ninety-six 22-d-old male broilers with similar BW (780 g average) were used in each experiment. The chicks were randomly allotted to 1 of 4 treatments (P-free, DCP, MCP, or MKP diets) with 6 replicate...
