toxoplasmosis is one of the most common parasitic diseases worldwide. although estimated that one third of the world's population are infected with toxoplasma gondii , but the most common form of the disease is latent (asymptomatic). on the other hand, recent findings indicated that la­tent toxoplasmosis is not only unsafe for human, but also may play various roles in the etiol­ogy of different...

the genetic parameters and (co) variance components of body weight at birth (bw), weaning (ww) and six months of age (bw6) and average daily gain (adg) pre and post-weaning of afshari sheep were estimated using restricted maximum likelihood (reml) methodology and animal model implemented in dfreml software. the likelihood ratio test (lrt) was used to compare the models. year of birth, age of mo...

Assessment of the condition a patient with coronavirus infection is an urgent problem in clinical practice. The parameter ’nucleated erythrocytes’ blood test can be used practice as marker hypoxia case lung damage, since it objectively reflects consequences acute hypoxic stress patient’s body.

The Grüneisen parameter, a constitutive parameter in photoacoustics, is usually measured from isobaric thermal expansion, which may not be valid for a biological medium due to its heterogeneity. Here, we directly measured the Grüneisen parameter by applying photoacoustic spectroscopy. Laser pulses at wavelengths between 460 and 1800 nm were delivered to tissue samples, and photoacoustic signals...

this study was performed to compare the biomar nutritional diet, shrimp, bloodworms on growth parameters, survival and blood parameter of juvenile aquarium joel (hemichromis bimaculatus). the experiment treatments consisted of blood worms, dried shrimp and control treatment that were biomar food. daily feeding was performed 4 times in a day to satiation and breeding fish took place over 8 weeks...

The validity of the flow-mediated dilation test has been questioned due to the lack of normalization to the primary stimulus, shear stress. Shear stress can be calculated using Poiseuille's law. However, little attention has been given to the most appropriate blood velocity parameter(s) for calculating shear stress. The pulsatile nature of blood flow exposes the endothelial cells to two distinc...

Hematologic and serum chemistry values are used by veterinarians and wildlife researchers to assess health status and to identify abnormally high or low levels of a particular blood parameter in a target species. For free-ranging lions (Panthera leo) information about these values is scarce. In this study 7 hematologic and 11 serum biochemistry values were evaluated from 485 lions from the Krug...

The objective of this present numerical model is to investigate the effect of shape of stenosis on blood flow through an artery using power-law fluid model. Blood is modeled as power-law fluid in a uniform circular tube with an axially non-symmetric but radially symmetric stenosis. The expressions for dimensionless resistance to flow, wall shear stress and apparent viscosity have been obtained....
