Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Probiotics on Coccidia, H. Contortus and Markers of Infection in GoatsKwaku Barima Gyenai, Mulumebet Worku, Mehrdad Tajkarimi, Salam IbrahimImmunostimulants can induce nonspecific resistance against parasites. The use of probiotics to control development of animal gastrointestinal parasites could help reduce the risks of infestation. In this study, we investigated the effects of probiotics administration on gastrointestinal parasites coccidia, H. contortus and markers of infection. A cocktail of probiotics mix including Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus reuteri and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 29 Jul 2016 · 9,034 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeterogeneous Modeling, Identification and Simulation of Activated Sludge ProcessesIbrahim H. Mustafa, G. Ibrahim, Ali Elkamel, A. H. ElahwanyProblem statement: The activated sludge system is a complex dynamic process and must account for a large number of reactions between large numbers of components. There is necessity for simulation models which describe the dynamic behavior of the activated sludge process. The application of the models in most treatment plants is limited due to lack of appropriate data acquisition and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,595 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation Between Particulate Matter (PM10) Exposure and Cardiorespiratory Hospital Admissions: A Time Series AnalysisNur Nabila Abd Rahim, Abqariyah Yahya, Wan Rozita Wan MahiyuddinThis study aimed to evaluate the association between particulate matter (PM10) exposure and cardiorespiratory hospital admissions and develop a time series model for cardiorespiratory hospital admissions in Johor, Malaysia. Retrospective time series analysis was utilised to study cardiorespiratory hospital admissions for the study period 2015-2016. Over-dispersed Poisson generalized linear models with parametric smoothing functions were used to examine the association … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2021 · 6,921 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Bioecological Factors on the Development of the Bracon during Breeding under Laboratory ConditionsKarlygash Alpysbayeva, Ainur Alimbekova, Ainura Adilkhankyzy et al.In the presented work, the authors investigated the development and sex ratio of the Bracon in various environmental conditions. The greater Galleria mellonella was used as the host of the entomophage under laboratory conditions. The authors studied the influence of the temperature environment, additional imaginal nutrition and the age of the host on the sex ratio of the Bracon.

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultidrug Resistant Microorganisms (MDR) and Biofilm Producers: A Challenge for Hospital Infectious ControlDaniel Lucio, Elizabeth Proaño, Alberto Bustillos et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) now represents a major threat to contemporary health care, especially in hospitals, where repeated antimicrobial exposure selects for and facilitates the dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) microorganisms. Biofilm growth adds another layer of persistence by increasing microbial tolerance, supporting long-term colonization of medical devices, and worsening clinical and economic outcomes. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on MDR biofilm-forming … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2026 · 791 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Antibacterial Activity of Blended Essential Oils against Staphylococcus Aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus AureusMin-Gi Kwon, Ji-Hyuk Kang, Jae Kyung KimWe aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effects of four blended and four single essential oils on the gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing was performed using disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute criteria. The blended essential oils exhibited more powerful antibacterial activity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2026 · 1,597 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAluminium-Induced Hepatotoxicity and the Protective Role of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) in Wistar RatsAnchana Babu, Rekha D Kini, Nayanatara Arun Kumar, Megha GokulAluminium is a widely distributed environmental contaminant whose chronic exposure leads to accumulation in multiple organs, including the liver, resulting in oxidative stress and tissue damage. When reactive oxygen species production exceeds the body's antioxidant defense capacity, cellular injury ensues — a mechanism central to aluminium-induced hepatotoxicity. Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha), an evergreen herb of the Solanaceae family widely cultivated in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 6 Apr 2026 · 1,451 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMirtazapine in Veterinary Medicine a Pharmacological Rationale for its Application in Chronic PainMario Giorgi, Helen OwenProblem statement: Many recent studies have shown that antidepressant agents have analgesic effects in addition to their intended primary actions. The Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) have been recognized as an effective first-line treatment of human neuropathic pain but unfortunately they display a wide range of side effects. Recent studies have shown that Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) also have potential analgesic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 19 May 2012 · 8,194 accessesView PDF Cite
