Complete blood counts and blood biochemical analyses are laboratory tests that allow the monitoring of physiological condition, nutrition, and health in free-living or captive wild animals. When interpreting these tests, it is essential to compare the results with reference ranges that are suitable for the species. Few studies have been conducted on the hematological and biochemical characteris...

Real time-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) technology has revolutionized the detection landscape in every area of molecular biology. The fundamental basis of this technology has remained unchanged since its inception, however various modifications have enhanced the overall performance of this highly versatile technology. These improvements have ranged from changes in the individual components of the ...

b a ckground:  nutritional care is of special importance in the control of the rate of mortality among intensive care unit (icu) patients. therefore, anthropometric and biochemical assessment are important among icu patients. we intend to report the anthropometric and biochemical indices, as well as the energy intake among icu patients in isfahan, iran. m ethods : this descriptive study was car...

Background Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative saprophytic soil bacterium that causes melioidosis, a potentially fatal disease endemic in wet tropical areas. The currently available biochemical identification systems can misidentify some strains of B. pseudomallei. The aim of the present study was to identify the biochemical features of B. pseudomallei, which can affect its correct ide...

A common clinical situation is finding abnormal liver enzymes on a biochemical profile. In some cases abnormal liver enzymes are first identified in the clinically normal patient on a routine health screen or as a preanesthetic screen prior to an elective surgery. Froe frequently abnormal liver enzymes are identified in sick patients as part of a complete diagnostic work-up. Some of those sick ...

The search over time and space (sSoTS) model attempts to simulate both the spatial and the temporal aspects of human visual search using spiking level neurons, which incorporate some biologically plausible aspects of neuronal firing. The model contains pools of units that (a) code basic features of objects, presumed to reside in the ventral visual stream, and (b) respond in a feature-independen...
