Introduction: The activity of Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is increased following inflammation due to its closed relation with immune system. This axis indicates an increased secretion of ACTH, and corticosterone during acute inflammation while little is known about its activity during chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study we measured the products of...

the aim of this experiment was evaluating effect of fish oil versus palm oil on mammary gland health and milk production in holstein cows. ten multiparous holstein cows were used from six week before up to 63 days after parturition. feed intake and milk production were recorded daily, milk composition, body weight and body condition score were measured weekly and blood metabolites were determin...

Previous studies have indicated that volatile compounds specific to bladder cancer may exist in urine headspace, raising the possibility that headspace analysis could be used for diagnosis of this particular cancer. In this paper, we evaluate the use of a commercially available gas sensor array coupled with a specifically designed pattern recognition algorithm for this purpose. The best diagnos...

Marine pollution is ubiquitous, and is one of the key factors influencing contemporary marine biodiversity worldwide. To protect marine biodiversity, how do we surveil, document and predict the shortand long-term impacts of pollutants on atrisk species? Modern genomics tools offer high-throughput, information-rich and increasingly cost-effective approaches for characterizing biological response...

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of degarelix 3-month depot in Japanese patients with prostate cancer. Methods In this Phase II, open-label, parallel-group study, 155 Japanese prostate cancer patients were randomized to treatment with degarelix administered subcutaneously at a maintenance dose of 360 or 480 mg every 84 days for 12 months, after receiving an initial dose of 240 mg...

Covid-19 pandemic teaches us that climate change impact sometimes incredibly unpredictable. Not only the increase of heat exposure or natural hazard due to extreme weather, but emergence new species mutation microorganism changing ecology may harmful for human beings and another organism. This anthropological phenomenon has negatively altered most fundamental resources living organism: air, wat...

Twenty-one healthy newborn infants whose mothers had normal pregnancies and deliveries were studied. Plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAldo) were measured by semimicro methods in cord blood and on the 6th day of life. PRA and PAldo were increased in cord blood compared with values previously found in healthy infants between 1 month and 1 year of age. There was a...
