Nevertheless, its role in the diagnosis of invasive infections caused by mycobacterium has not been clearly defined. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to study anemia, diarrhea and constitutional syndrome … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2012 · 7,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancerous Immunoglobulins and CA215: Implications in Cancer ImmunologyGregory LeeImmunoglobulins are typically expressed by B cells in our normal immune system. However, certain normal human tissues, such as hyperplastic epithelial cells, cells of the immunologically privileged sites and the majority of cancer cells, have also been found to be sites of immunoglobulin production. Current research is lacking in regards to the differential immunoglobulin expression, the underling mechanisms of action … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Sep 2012 · 8,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Echocardiography as a Diagnostic Tool for Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)Davida Kamara, Kwaku Gyenai, Tuoyu Geng et al.Our understanding of the etiology of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM), which affects about 5% of turkeys, is limited. This limitation may be due to the lack of an easy-to-use diagnostic tool with well-defined parameters and does not involve necropsy. This lack of a widely tested non-necropsy method makes it difficult for a large-scale study of the genetic factors that underlie DCM. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2012 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptation to High Grain Diets Proceeds Through Minimal Immune System Stimulation and Differences in Extracellular Matrix Protein Expression in A Model of Subacute Ruminal Acidosis in Non-lactating Dairy CowsB. W. McBride, O. AlZahal, M. A. Steele, L. DionissopoulosProblem statement: Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a metabolic disorder affecting approximately 20% of all dairy cattle in North America. Although the presence of SARA has been described for some time, the etiology of the disorder remains uncertain. For example, many animals diagnosed with SARA seem to remodel and adapt their epithelium to accommodate the stresses imposed by SARA, but … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2012 · 8,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChildhood Mental Disorders and Risk of SchizophreniaWenbin Liang, Tanya ChikritzhsProblem statement: Schizophrenia is one of the most serious forms of mental diseases, but the etiology of schizophrenia is still not well understood. Investigations are required to gain better understanding of the pre-onset course of schizophrenia. Approach: This study was a population-based birth-cohort study of males born between 1980 and 1984 in Western Australia (WA). Males were identified using birth … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2012 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Antioxidants Supplement on Lipid Peroxidation and Serum Aryl Esterase Enzyme in Rheumatoid Arthritis PatientsMahsa Jalili, Seyed-Rafi Aref-Hosseini, Sousan Kolahi et al.Problem statement: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is one of the common autoimmune diseases with unknown etiology that its prevalence ratio in females to males is 3:1. It has been suggested that serum antioxidant levels is reduced and lipid peroxidation is increased due to oxidative stress. According to a recent research, antioxidant supplements may play an important role in controlling oxidative stress. … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 2 Dec 2011 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
