Definitive hosts of the Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus ) parasite are carnivores such as dogs,wolves and foxes. Detection of this parasite through faecal examination is not possible. In this study, dotblotting test for E. granulosus -specific coproantigens has been evaluated in dog. Three 2–3-month-old puppies were treated with piperazine and then faecal samples were collected as pre-in...

Hydration status is linked with health, wellness, and performance. We evaluated hydration status, water intake, and urine output for seven consecutive days in healthy adults. Volunteers living in Spain, Germany, or Greece (n = 573, 39 ± 12 years (51.1% males), 25.0 ± 4.6 kg/m² BMI) participated in an eight-day study protocol. Total water intake was estimated from seven-day food and drink diarie...

The purpose of the present survey was to determine the effects of the chitosan and atorvastatin on serum lipid profile changes and the influence of time on treatment process in cats. For the management of cholesterol induced hyperlipidemia, twenty-one healthy cats were randomly divided into three equal groups. Group A (control) included seven cats that were fed with cholesterol powder (4 g/kg f...

Detection of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV)-specific IgM by IgM-capture enzymed-linked immunosorbent assay (IgM-capture ELISA) has been accepted as the standard for serological diagnosis. In the present study, we analyzed the time course of the positive rate of JEV-specific IgM in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from confirmed JE patients. Serum and CSF samples were obtained fr...

Effect of honey on plasma concentration of diltiazem after oral and intravenous administration in rabbits, has been studied. For oral study, single dose of diltiazem (5 mg/kg, p.o.) along with saline was administered to New Zealand white rabbits (n=8). Blood samples were collected at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 hr after drug administration from marginal ear vein. After a washou...

the blood biochemical parameters were investigated in a yak (bos grunniens l) after intravenous administration of 5 mg/kg enrofloxacin. blood samples were collected from the jugular vein daily for 5 days after the drug administration. heparinized bloods were collected for mean corpuscular volume (mcv), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr), hemoglubin (hb) estimation and serum was collected for ...

We compared results for glycohemoglobin obtained from fresh whole blood or separated erythrocyte samples with results obtained after storage. We judged the storage condition to be acceptable ("stable") if the glycohemoglobin results after storage were within the 95 confidence interval (+/- SD) of the results obtained for the specimens on the day of venipuncture. Hemolysates can validly be store...
