Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Forty Nelore cows were submitted to timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol and randomly assigned to groups according to estradiol (E2) ester (cypionate or benzoate, i.e. EC or EB) and equine chorionic gonadotrophin treatment (eCG or No-eCG) in a factorial 2x2 design. On a random day of the estrous cycle (Day 0), cows received a P4 intravaginal device plus 2 mg im injection of EB. At the time of P4 device removal (Day 8), cows were treated with 0.150 mg im of D-cloprostenol (PGF) and randomly divided to receive or not 400 UI im of eCG, as well as randomly assigned …


Isolation And Identification Of Extended Spectrum Β-Lactamases (Esbls) Escherichia Colifrom Minced Camel Meat In Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia, Waleed Rizk El-Ghareeb, Sherief M. Abdel-Raheem, Theeb M. Al-Marri, Fanan A. Alaql, Mahmoud M. Fayez Jun 2020

Isolation And Identification Of Extended Spectrum Β-Lactamases (Esbls) Escherichia Colifrom Minced Camel Meat In Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia, Waleed Rizk El-Ghareeb, Sherief M. Abdel-Raheem, Theeb M. Al-Marri, Fanan A. Alaql, Mahmoud M. Fayez

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing E. coliisolation from minced camel meat and identify the phenotype and genotype of the ESBL. A total of 150 samples were collected randomly from butchers’ shops in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. The results indicated that, overall, 17 (11.3 %) E. coliisolates were recovered from the minced meat samples. The isolates were classified biochemically at the species level using the VITEK 2 system. The antibiotic susceptibility of E. …

Interferon-induced helicase (IFIH1) is a gene locus that has been recently defined as a candidate for susceptibility to generalized vitiligo (GV). The objectives of this study were to assess the association of IFIH1 gene, rs2111485, and rs1990760 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with susceptibility to GV and the autoimmune diseases accompanying GV.Materials and methods: We prospectively studied GV patients and frequency-matched healthy controls by age and sex. The genotypes of the participants were determined for rs1990760 and rs2111485 SNPs of IFIH1. Dominant, recessive, and additive models were evaluated for each SNP adjusted for age and sex. Results: The patients and their controls …

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Als) And Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Sma): A Genetic Linkage?, Michael Groden Jan 2015

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Als) And Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Sma): A Genetic Linkage?, Michael Groden

The Science Journal of the Lander College of Arts and Sciences

Neurodegenerative motor neuron disorders (MNDs) have devastating effects. Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), for example, is a debilitating and sometimes lethal disease in children. SMA is monogenic, autosomal recessively inherited disorder caused by a loss-of-function mutation of surviving motor neuron 1 (SMN1). SMN2 is an identical copy of this gene and produces abbreviated transcripts without exon 7 though some full transcripts are produced that ameliorate the disease. Previous clinical trials for this disease have not produced consistent results. However, in a recent cross-sectional study, biomarkers for SMA (BforSMA), protein candidates and metabolite markers were identified (Finkel et al., 2012). These markers …


Correlation Between Antibiotic Resistance And Virulence Ofpseudomonas Aeruginosa Clinical Isolates, Fatma Ibrahim Sonbol, Maha Abd El Fattah Khalil, Abdelfattah Badr Mohamed, Sameh Samir Ali Jan 2015

Correlation Between Antibiotic Resistance And Virulence Ofpseudomonas Aeruginosa Clinical Isolates, Fatma Ibrahim Sonbol, Maha Abd El Fattah Khalil, Abdelfattah Badr Mohamed, Sameh Samir Ali

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: Virulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa is frequently life-threatening and often challenging to treat, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant isolates presents a critical problem for patients. The aim of the study was concerned with molecular analysis of the virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance profile of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA). Materials and methods: Out of 44 MDRPA isolates, 12 isolates representing different resistance profiles and sources of samples were selected for further molecular studies. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approaches were applied to identify the genes implicated in antimicrobial resistance or virulence factors in the selected MDRPA isolates. Results: Multidrug-resistance (pstS), ß-lactamase (IMP7, IMP10, …
