Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial-Impregnated Discs for Prevention of Intravenous Catheter-Related InfectionsKelly R. Daniels, Christopher R. FreiProblem statement: Healthcare-associated infections are the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSIs) comprise 14% of all healthcare-associated infections and contribute to increased mortality and financial costs. Antimicrobial-impregnated sponge discs to be used surrounding the catheter insertion site are a newer addition to the options available for the prevention of catheter-related infections. Approach: This … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2012 · 8,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMacroinvertebrate Communities Differences on Riverine Parts and Reservoirs of Zarrineh RiverR. Ahmadi, A. Aliyev, M. Seidgar et al.This study was conducted to identify present macro invertebrate’s fauna in reverine and reservoir parts of the Zarrinehrood River for fisheries purposes. The abundance and species composition of macro invertebrate were analyzed and compared in various parts of the Zarrinehrood River (west Azerbaijan, Iran) during November 2008-February 2009 to evaluate the rivers benthic fauna as a resource of fish and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2012 · 8,150 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeasonal Population Dynamics of the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama in SarawakStephen Leong Chan Teck, Abang Fatimah, Andrew Beattie et al.Problem statement: Effective control of phytophagous pests requires a thorough understanding of their seasonal population dynamics, dispersion behavior, natural enemy activity and climate. To date, although very little detail information had been published on the ecology of Diaphorina citri. The objective of this investigation was to test through field experiment the hypothesis that the major factors influencing local D. citri … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2011 · 9,551 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand use Type Pattern and Woody Species Composition Near Human Disturbed Landscapes on Mount Makiling, Luzon IslandInocencio E. Buot, Katsuhiro OsumiProblem statement: A field study near human disturbed landscape on Mount Makiling, Luzon Island, Philippines was done on the eastern slopes of the legendary mountain to determine the land use patterns and woody species composition. Approach: Forty permanent plots of 10×10m in 3 belt transects spaced at 200m apart were established from the undisturbed forests to the agricultural farms. Classification … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 26 Aug 2011 · 8,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Salicylic Acid-Mediated Plant Defense Responses During Initial Infection of Dyer's Woad by Puccinia thlaspeosBradley R. Kropp, Elizabeth ThomasProblem statement: Puccinia thlaspeos is a microcyclic rust pathogen that is being investigated as a potential biocontrol agent of the noxious weed, dyer’s woad (Isatis tinctoria). Although, the initial events in the colonization of dyer’s woad by the rust pathogen has been elucidated using scanning electron microscopy and PCR, little is known regarding the susceptibility response of this plant to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,033 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSepticemia: The Principal Killer of Burns PatientsB. R. Sharma, Virendar Pal Singh, Sumedha Bangar, Neha GuptaBurn injury is a major problem in many areas of the world and it has been estimated that 75% of all deaths following burns are related to infection. Burns impair the skin’s normal barrier function thus allowing microbial colonization of the burn wounds and even with the use of topical antimicrobial agents, contamination is almost unavoidable. It is therefore essential … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,022 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Calcium Supplementation on Growth, Nutrient Digestibility and Fecal Lactobacilli in Dairy CalvesC. Yuangklang, C. Wachirapakorn, H.E. Mohamed et al.Problem statement: Based on earlier studies in veal calves and rats, the hypothesis tested was that high calcium intakes by ruminating dairy calves reduce fat digestibility, but do not affect growth performance due to enhanced colonization of the intestine with lactobacilli. Approach: In dairy calves that were fed on a combination of milk replacer, concentrate on grass hay, the effects … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Adhesin Encoding Genes in Escherichia coli Isolates from Omphalitis of ChicksReza Ghanbarpour, Mahmood SalehiProblem statement: Omphalitis is one of the most common causes of mortality in chicks during the first week after hatching. Escherichia coli strains are the most common isolated bacteria from omphalitis cases of chickens. Bacterial colonization in the host cells surfaces is a critical first step in the pathogenesis of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli isolates. Thus the current study was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,557 accessesView PDFCite
