Pigs are reservoir hosts of the pathogen and streptomycin is among the antibiotics proposed to eliminate leptospiral infection. The purpose of this study was to determine streptomycin concentrations and the possible effect of the presence of Leptospira in the liver and kidneys on drug distribution. Six pigs with leptospirosis and six … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2013 · 7,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Effects of Magnesium on Histamine Metabolism and Urine Acidity in Domestic FelinesSarah K. Martin, David L. Harmon, Charlotte E. Conway et al.Magnesium deficiency has been associated with increased histamine production in rats. Limitation of Mg with acidifying foods is common practice for management of urinary tract health in domestic cats. Nine healthy adult female shorthair cats were used in a 3 period random crossover experiment with fixed treatment sequences to test the effects of dietary Mg (0.06, 0.12 and 0.18% DM) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2012 · 8,169 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Fetuin-A and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as a Predictor Marker for AtherosclerosisOsama F. Mosa, Ibrahim H. Mohamad, Magdi M. SalamaProblem statement: Associations between serum levels of fetuin-A, C3 complement, calcium × phosphate product and calcification risk index and lipid profile in SLE patients were established. However, the mechanism of accelerated atherosclerosis accompanied with SLE remains elusive. We therefore turned to investigate the association between Fetuin-A, disease activity and accelerated atherosclerosis in patients with SLE. Approach: Serum blood samples were … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 15 Sep 2012 · 7,779 accessesView PDFCite
