Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) and edema disease (ED), caused by enterotoxigenic Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (ETEC STEC) strains, are important diseases of newly weaned piglets worldwide. The objective this study is to develop a passive immunization strategy protect against PWD ED using recombinant Lactococcus lactis added piglet diet at weaning. Variable Heavy chain domains antibodies ...

This paper proposes a novel method to designing an H ∞ PID controller with robust stability and disturbance attenuation. This method uses particle swarm optimization algorithm to minimize a cost function subject to H ∞ -norm to design robust performance PID controller. We propose two cost functions to design of a multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) and single-input, single-output (SISO) robu...

A 14-year-old girl was examined for a right lateral neck swelling and radiographic mediastinal widening. Biopsy of a right supraclavicular lymph node demonstrated the nodular sclerosing form of Hodgkin's lymphoma. An 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F18-FDG-PET/CT) study showed several pathological areas of lymph-node uptake in the upper mediastum and rig...

German cockroaches are common pests of confined swine production in North Carolina and other southeastern states. Vector competence of German cockroaches for one of the most important porcine bacterial pathogens, verotoxigenic Escherichia coli F18, was evaluated in laboratory bioassays using a culturing approach followed by multiplex PCR. In addition, the populations of fecal coliforms from the...

Contrast PET/CT may show layering within the UB, and several examples of have been reported in literature. But without using contrast this is rare. Our case demonstrates interesting posterior F18-FDG urinary bladder a 78 years old male use contrast.

In this study, Agilent two-colour microarray-based gene expression profiling was used to detect differential gene expression in duodenal tissues collected from eight full-sib pairs of Sutai pigs differing in adhesion phenotype (sensitivity and resistance to Escherichia coli F18). Using a two-fold change minimum threshold, we found 18 genes that were differentially expressed (10 up-regulated and...

Thirty-six enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from Cuban pigs with diarrhea were serotyped and screened by PCR for the presence of virulence genes. The 36 isolates belonged to 11 O serogroups and 14 O:H serotypes, with 53% of the isolates belonging to only two serotypes: O141:H- (13 isolates) and O157:H19 (6 isolates). Genes coding for STb, STa, VT2e, and LT toxins were identifi...

Eccrine carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant skin cancer arising from eccrine sweat glands with a high metastatic potential. It mainly occurs in the elderly, with equal incidence in both sexes. It usually spreads to regional lymph nodes, with liver, lungs, and bones being the most common sites of distant metastasis. Because of tumor rarity, little is known about the value of F18- FDG PET/CT...

Background: New onset and active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) may be infrequently associated with diffuse lymphadenopathy. This is often worrisome for malignancy in which F18/FDG PET scanning is typically obtained as part of a neoplastic workup. Results are often difficult to interpret and resemble lymphoma in many instances. There is sparse literature describing systematic differences in...

Background: Spatially correlated overabundances of N15 and O18 observed in some low-density graphite meteoritic grains have been connected to nucleosynthesis taking place the helium-burning shell during core-collapse supernovae. Two reactions which identified as important final abundances are F18(n,?)N15 F18(n,p)O18. The relative strengths F18(n,p)O18 depend sensitively on ?0 p0 decay branches ...
