Ungulates select diets with high energy, protein, and sodium contents. However, it is scarcely known the influence of essential minerals other than Na in diet preferences. Moreover, almost no information is available about the possible influence of toxic levels of essential minerals on avoidance of certain plant species. The aim of this research was to test the relative importance of mineral co...

Organophosphates (OP) are widely used as insecticides. Accidental OP poisoning is reported world over. These compounds inhibit the enzyme acetyl-cholinesterase within the peripheral and central nervous system by phosphorylation of its esteratic site. The resultant accumulation of acetylcholine at the cholinergic receptor sites, leads to signs of cholinergic toxicity. Accidental OP sites, leads ...

OBJECTIVES Nitrous oxide is an effective sedative/analgesic for mildly to moderately painful pediatric procedures. This study evaluated the safety of nitrous oxide administered at high concentration (up to 70%) for procedural sedation. METHODS This prospective, observational study included all patients younger than 18 years who received nitrous oxide for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures a...

ABSTRACT We present the Heraklion Extragalactic Catalogue, or HECATE, an all-sky value-added galaxy catalogue, aiming to facilitate and future multiwavelength multimessenger studies in local Universe. It contains 204 733 galaxies up a redshift of 0.047 (D${\lesssim }200\, \text{Mpc}{}$), it is >50 per cent complete terms B-band luminosity density at distances 0–170 Mpc range. By incorpor...

The gene (cpo) encoding the extracellular protease CPI produced by the moderately halophilic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas ruthenica CP76 was cloned, and its nucleotide sequence was analyzed. The cpo gene encodes a 733-residue protein showing sequence similarity to metalloproteases of the M4 family. The type II secretion apparatus was shown to be responsible for secretion of the haloprotease CPI.
