Introduction: The 3-day old rat (P3) shares some similarities in terms of cortical neuronal, glial and oligodendroglial development to the very preterm infant around 24-28 weeks of gestation. Animal models of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) which is the most important cerebral alteration as a consequence of a premature birth can be achieved by Hypoxia-Ischemia (HI) as well as inflammation. E...

Aunque el diagnóstico microbiológico de la meningitis resulta primordial, en la mayor parte de las ocasiones se administra de forma inicial un tratamiento empı́rico basado en los microorganismos más probables según el análisis bioquı́mico del lı́quido cefalorraquı́deo (LCR). Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 12 años, que ingresó en la UCI por alteración del nivel de conciencia. Era natural de ...

The course of a VHS (viral haemorrhagic septicaemia) infection in brown trout Salmo trutta fario L. in a stream was followed for 4 yr using anti-VHS virus antibodies a s the indication of infection. Trout were caught by electrofishing and the presence of anti-VHS virus antibody in the serum was determined by counter-current immunoelectrophoresis. There were fluctuations in the prevalence of ant...

of deleterious spontaneous mutation from simulated tances have a random component. To deal with this commutation accumulation data, Garcı́a-Dorado and Galponent objectively, after a minimum was identified for lego (2003) found that ML estimates of the deleterious the distance, we used regression to test the significance mutation rate (U) had higher mean square errors (MSE) of the increase in dis...

Introduction: The 3-day old rat (P3) shares some similarities in terms of cortical neuronal, glial and oligodendroglial development to the very preterm infant around 24-28 weeks of gestation. Animal models of preterm brain injury can be achieved by Hypoxia-Ischemia (HI). Erythropoietin (EPO) has been shown to be neuroprotective in different models of preterm brain injury [1] but has not been te...

Two experimental composite resins were placed in the primary molars of 50 children aged 4 to 8 years. Three cavity preparations were used and 357 restorations were placed. The restoratiot~s were evaluated by 2 investigators at 0, 6, 12, and 24 months using the USPH evaluation criteria. At 24 months, 297 (83.1%) restorations were available for recall (48 patients). Discounting restorations lost ...

Background: Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV): is a viral skin infection which may infect themucous membrane and skinoccasionally, It is caused by Molluscipox virus from family Poxviridae. Molluscum contagiosumvirus (MCV) was first described and later assigned its name by Bateman in the beginning of the nineteenth century. Aim: This study was done to confirm the clinical diagnosis of MCV by lab...

Taylor, R. J., and Secor, G. A. 1988. An improved diffusion assay for quantifying the polygalacturonase content of Erwinia culture filtrates. Phytopathology 78:1101-1103. The agar diffusion procedure for quantifying pectolytic enzyme activity punched in the agarose with a # 1 cork borer. After incubation at 37 C for 17 was modified to optimize assay sensitivity and simplify its implementation. ...
