Outdoor access for owned domestic cats (Felis catus) is a divisive issue. Cat safety, mental and physical wellbeing, infectious diseases, wildlife depredation are cited as factors influencing owners; however, the degree of consideration each factor receives has not been quantified. This study (i) analysed which demographic variables associated with greater odds having indoor or outdoor lifestyl...

this study was aimed to detect anti-toxoplasma gondii antibodies in cats infected with rh strain of t. gondii by using an immunoblotting method. for this, cats were experimentally infected using tachyzoites harvested from vero cell cultures. tachyzoites were then lysed and transferred to polyacrylamide gels followed by blotting to pvdf membranes. an immunoblotting was performed using these memb...

objective cerebrospinal fluid (csf), its secretion, circulation and absorption have been the subject of recent researches. there is a general agreement that the main site of csf secretion is in the choroids plexus. however, the main absorption site is controversial. some believe that arachnoid granulations are the principle sites of csf absorption. in this study, different locations of csf abso...

Ticks and tick-borne infections are global medical and veterinary public health concerns. Thailand has economically and environmentally changed markedly over the past several decades. The magnitude of free roaming carnivores such as dogs and cats is still represents a considerable problem. Stray animals serve not only as reservoirs for infectious diseases to all pet but also as carriers for zoo...

In this paper‎, ‎we give the notions of crossed polymodule and cat$^1$-polygroup‎ ‎as a generalization of Loday's definition‎. ‎Then‎, ‎we define the pullback cat$^1$-polygroup and we obtain some results in this respect‎. ‎Specially‎, ‎we prove that by a pullback cat$^1$-polygroup we can obtain a cat$^1$-group‎.

The human bartonelloses are a group of diseases with a rapidly increasing clinical spectrum. Well known manifestations such as Carrion's disease, trench fever, cat-scratch disease, and bacillary angiomatosis are examples of Bartonella sp. infection. Along with these diseases, recurrent bacteremia, endocarditis, septicemia, erythema nodosum, erythema multiforme, trombocytopenic purpura and other...

irway and interstitial lung diseases may be the result of immunopathogenetic mechanisms. In such diseases, the immunoreactants include antigenic substances and the biologic response reactants ofthe host. Antigenic substances in these diseases are generally inhaled, and the host responses may include antibodies of all of the immunoglobulin isotypes and specific lymphocyte responses. Measurement ...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an important pathogenic factor for sepsis which results in cardiovascular diseases and even mortality. Proanthocyanidin, one of the main components grape seed, has a wide range biological activities various diseases. The mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection with LPS. Grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSP) administered continuously 8 days. Our showed th...

Until relatively recently, we thought that the human central nervous system (CNS) was unable to regenerate. However, with the initial discovery of remyelination within the brain and the spinal cord in cat (Bunge, Bunge and Ris. Ultrastructural study of remyelination in an experimental lesion in adult cat spinal cord. J Biophys Biochem Cytol 1961;10:67-94.) and later in human (Prineas and Connel...
