—We examined vegetation characteristics around nest sites of the Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) and Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus) for three summers in the northernand mixed-hardwood forests of northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to test the hypothesis that nests with greater concealment are less vulnerable to depredation. Because these two ground-nesting passerines diffe...

--Flight morphology affects aerodynamic performance and the energetic demand for migration. We investigated the relationship between flight morphology and energetic condition of Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), Veery (Catharus fuscescens), Swainson's Thrush (C. ustulatus), and Gray-cheeked Thrush (C. minimus) during migration and the consequences for stopover behavior following spring trans-...

A patient with azole-refractory thrush-esophagitis responded initially to caspofungin, but the treatment eventually failed. In a murine model, caspofungin was effective against two early isolates for which the MICs of caspofungin were low, but it was less effective against a late isolate for which the MIC of caspofungin was greater. We concluded that there is a correlation between in vivo failu...

We describe the first predation record of an undescribed adult male tarantula from genus Euathlus in a juvenile austral thrush (Turdus falcklandii Quoy and Gaimard, 1824) (Aves: Turdidae) central Chile. The precise moment was not observed; it could have been opportunistic event or active hunting. In support later alternative, this species has relatively frequently seen walking on tree trunks. T...

background candida species are normal microflora of  oral cavity, vagina, and gastrointestinal  tract. they are the third most prevalent cause of pediatric health care–associated  bloodstream fungal infection. this study aimed to provide an epidemiological feature of candidiasis and also presents an antifungal susceptibility profile of clinical candida isolates among children. materials and met...

Among all motivations of women motherhood is the most universal and the strongest. Motherhood is a beautiful and joyous experience to a woman. The feeling of a life growing inside makes her ecstatic. The health of the mother during pregnancy is important to give birth to a healthy baby. Reproductive tract infections are common during pregnancy and vaginal candidiasis (moniliasis or thrush) is a...
