conclusions pci was accompanied by some improvement in left atrial deformation indices as assessed by tissue doppler imaging. revascularization can, therefore, improve patient outcome. results regarding changes in left trial functional parameters after pci, those such as the strain of the septal wall and the anterior and inferior walls and the strain rate of the anterior and lateral walls signi...

background: heat stress is a common and usual problem in industries. several indices, including wet bulb globe temperature (wbgt), are used to evaluate heat stress. however, wbgt index has limitations such as high cost and response time. it is not thus suitable as a screening tool. heat strain scoring index (hssi) is also an observational-judgmental technique that has been developed for primary...

Coccidiosis, an enteric disease caused by Eimeria species, continues to be a substantial economic burden on the global poultry industry. With increased concerns regarding prophylactic antimicrobials to control coccidiosis alternate methods of preventative control have been developed, yet innovation to strengthen these methods has been limited. Live Eimeria vaccination stimulates immunity from t...

BACKGROUND The HPV prevalence and genotype distribution are important for the estimation of the impact of HPV-based cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination on the incidence of diseases etiologically linked to HPVs. The HPV genotype distribution varies across different geographical regions. Therefore, we investigated the type-specific HPV prevalence in Czech women and men with anogenital d...

Absorption of maternal antibodies from colostrum is important for protection of foals against specific infectious diseases but also substantially interferes with the response of foals to many vaccinal antigens. It is now well documented that the response of foals from vaccinated mares to inactivated influenza vaccines is blocked until at least 6 months of age, and administration of influenza va...

results the lipl32 sequences were >94% homologous among the vaccinal and other pathogenic leptospira serovars in genbank. this result indicates the conservation of this gene within the pathogenic leptospires. conclusions the cloned gene in this study may provide a potentially suitable platform for development of a variety of applications such as serological diagnostic tests or recombinant vacci...
