ABST RACT This case report describes a 10-year-old, 2.9 kg, female spayed Abyssinian cat diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC), unresponsive to conventional therapy. A fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) through rectal (enema) administration was performed as a last therapeutic option for the cat before euthanasia, and there was an immediate improvement after the procedure in regards to feca...

CASE SUMMARY An 18-month-old, female spayed, Australian Mist cat presented with a 24 h history of muscle tremors and inappetence progressing to collapse with generalised muscle fasciculations. The cat was diagnosed with a hypochloraemic metabolic alkalosis due to a duodenal foreign body found to be a trichobezoar at coeliotomy. The cat made a complete recovery after enterotomy to remove the tri...

in this paper‎, ‎we give the notions of crossed polymodule and cat$^1$-polygroup‎ ‎as a generalization of loday's definition‎. ‎then‎, ‎we define the pullback cat$^1$-polygroup and we obtain some results in this respect‎. ‎specially‎, ‎we prove that by a pullback cat$^1$-polygroup we can obtain a cat$^1$-group‎.

BACKGROUND Up-regulation of lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin X (Cat X) is associated with disorders of the immune system and neurodegenerative diseases, while its role in the development and progression of cancer is less understood. Enhanced secretion of pro-Cat X was observed in malignant processes, and therefore, the level of total serum Cat X rather than the active enzyme may better ref...

Cat-scratch disease is a clinical syndrome that usually presents as a self-limiting illness featuring regional lymphadenopathy, fever, and small skin lesions in association with a cat scratch or bite. It is caused by the Gram-negative bacillus Bartonella henselae, which commonly affects children and young adults. Ocular bartonellosis is the most common atypical manifestation of cat-scratch dise...

BACKGROUND Hypertension, stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) are common diseases that impose a heavy burden on patients and their families, particularly on those living in poor areas. This study examined catastrophic medical payments faced by patients with these diseases and the effectiveness of the new rural cooperative medical system (NRCMS) at alleviating the impact of the said diseases ...

background and objectives : bartonella species are being recognized as increasingly important bacterial pathogens in veterinary and human medicine. these organisms can be transmitted by an arthropod vector or alternatively by animal scratches or bites. the objectives of this study were to identify contamination of cat's saliva and nail with b. henselae as a causative role to infect human in a s...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in the pathogenesis of certain diseases and may serve as biomarkers. Here, we present the first analysis of miRNA expression in the kidneys of healthy cats and dogs. Kidneys were divided into renal cortex (CO) and medulla (MD), and RNA sequence analysis was performed using the mouse genome as a reference. A total of 277, 276, 295, and 297 miRNAs were detected in c...

Although hairdressing is not a dangerous profession, it known that hairdressers are exposed to chemical combinations as allergens, carcinogens or organic solvents. In this study, was aimed determine the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH), which some important antioxidants, malondialdehyde (MDA), end product lipid peroxidation an indicator oxidative stress...

reactive oxygen species (ros) are generated by normal metabolic processes or from exogenous insults and chemical agents. they are capable of damaging essential biomolecules and accelerating cancer, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. in the present study, the antioxidant role of terminalia chebula aqueous extract was evaluated against age-related oxidative stress in heart ti...
