Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinio-Pathological Changes in Goats Challenged with Corynebacterium Peudotuberculosis and its Exotoxin (PLD)Z. K.H. Mahmood, F. F. Jesse, A. A. Saharee et al.Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is a chronic disease caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. However, there is a paucity of data about the C. pseudotuberculosis exotoxin, phospholipase D (PLD) response during the course of CLA. Therefore, this study was conducted to observe the clinical signs and the cellular changes after an experimental infection of the C. pseudotuberculosis and phospholipase D challenge. Twenty six … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 May 2015 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE VOCALIZATION MECHANISM OF THE FLORIDA MANATEE (TRICHECHUS MANATUS LATIROSTRIS)Charles J. Grossman, Richard E. Hamilton, Martine De Wit et al.The mechanism by which Florida manatees produce vocalizations is unknown. Anatomically, the laryngeal region in manatees lacks clearly defined vocal folds. Initially we developed a method to visualize the entire manatee upper respiratory system. We then forced air through fresh necropsied manatee larynxes and generated artificial vocalizations which closely duplicated the normal vocalizations produced by live manatees, both in fundamental … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPIGENIN CAUSES BIOCHEMICAL MODULATION, GLUT4 AND CD38 ALTERATIONS TO IMPROVE DIABETES AND TO PROTECT DAMAGES OF SOME VITAL ORGANS IN EXPERIMENTAL DIABETESChowdhury Mobaswar Hossain, Miltu Kumar Ghosh, Bhabani Sankar Satapathy et al.Diabetes mellitus gradually leads to dysfunction and failure of some vital organs specially the eyes, kidneys, pancreas, brain, heart, liver and lungs. The study was aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic potential of apigenin and its mechanistic role in controlling damages of vital tissues in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated with apigenin and glipizide. Various biochemical changes, GLUT4 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2014 · 15,675 accessesView PDFCite

This study investigated the effects of 5 day and 7day oral dihydroartemisinin treatments on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 2 Nov 2011 · 6,826 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRespiratory Tract-Widening Effects of Dihydroartemisinin in Wistar Albino RatsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu, Njoku Goddy, S. Nedosa Kenechi et al.Problem statement: Artemisinin-based anti-malarials are currently widely used in Asia and Africa. Not much is known about the systemic effect of dihydroartemisinin. This study therefore examine the effect of dihydroartemisinin on the lungs of Wistar albino rats. Approach: Five dosages of Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) were administered by oral intubation for 5 days to 5 test and 4 control Wistar albino rats. … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2011 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHealth Impacts Estimation of Mineralogical and Chemical Characterization of Suspended Atmospheric Particles over the East DesertU. Ali Rahoma, Elsayed EmaraProblem statement: The small size fraction of aerosols, measured as PM10 and PM2.5, rather than the larger particles, is considered to be responsible for most of the health effects. Such particles have a relatively long residence time in the atmosphere and can therefore travel over long distances. Hence, a large portion of ambient concentrations of PM10 and in particular of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,772 accessesView PDFCite
