Application Of Polymerase Chain Reaction To The Diagnosis Of Infectious Diseases, David N. Fredricks, David A. Relman

United States Department of Veterans Affairs: Publications

PCR and other sequence-based microbial detection methods, once considered to be only research tools, are being used increasingly in the clinical microbiology laboratory. As this technology expands into the clinical arena, clinicians will need to learn its advantages and limitations so that sound judgments can be made. Astute clinicians know that results of blood culture reports, whether positive or negative, must be interpreted using an understanding of the test employed and an assessment of the clinical scenario. Similarly, infectious diseases practitioner will need to expand their understanding of PCR-based diagnostics so that these powerful tests are used appropriately.

Morphology, Ultrastructure, And Function Of Extrafloral Nectaries In Three Species Of Caesalpiniaceae, Lenore T. Durkee, Matthew H. Haber, Lisa Dorn, Ann Remington

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Light and electron microscopy reveal that the morphologically well-differentiated petiolar nectaries of Chamaecrista fasciculata, Senna hepecarpa, and S. marilandica have an unusually simple anatomy consisting of an epidermis immediately subtended by a mass of small, loosely-packed parenchyma cells. Vascular strands from the petiolar bundles enter the nectary and terminate as phloem within or near this parenchyma. In mature, secreting nectaries, the cuticle of the epidermis extends between the epidermal cells and into the nectary parenchyma, where it occupies, but does not occlude, much of the free space of this tissue. The cutin is not found below the level …

Developing And Integrating A Lessons Learned Methodology For Humanitarian Mine Action, Cisr

CISR Studies and Reports

The demand for a centralized lessons learned database has made it clear that there is value in consolidating the experience derived from the numerous de-mining missions by a variety of teams in a variety of countries. Consequently, the James Madison University Mine Action Information Center developed a methodology for collecting, validating, and distributing lessons-learned within the mine action community.

In order to develop this lessons-learned system, individuals involved in the wide spectrum of activities (victim assistance, mine clearance, survey, mine awareness, etc.) and belonging to the myriad agencies (NGOs, military demining, United Nations, MACs, etc.) related to the field of …

The Potential And The Pitfalls Of Habitat Conservation Planning Under The Endangered Species Act, Shi-Ling Hsu

Scholarly Publications

Editors' Summary: The ESA is simultaneously the most popular and most hated of environmental statutes. Conservationists fervently support the ESA's mission of preventing the extinction of our country's fish, wildlife, and plants, but private landowners subject to ESA restrictions claim that the Act unfairly and illogically restricts the use of their valuable property. As the agency with primary responsibility for the ESA's administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is caught between both sides. This Article examines how the FWS uses habitat conservation plans (HCPs) to balance the demands of conservationists and property owners. The Article begins by discussing …

Osteopathy And Resistance To Vitamin D Toxicity In Mice Null For Vitamin D Binding Protein, Fayez F. Safadi, Paul Thornton, Holly Magiera, Bruce W. Hollis, Michael Gentile, John G. Haddad, Stephen A. Liebhaber, Nancy E. Cooke

MUSC Faculty Journal Articles

A line of mice deficient in vitamin D binding protein (DBP) was generated by targeted mutagenesis to establish a model for analysis of DBP's biological functions in vitamin D metabolism and action. On vitamin D-replete diets, DBP-/-mice had low levels of total serum vitamin D metabolites but were otherwise normal. When maintained on vitamin D-deficient diets for a brief period, the DBP-/- but not DBP+/+, mice developed secondary hyperparathyroidism and the accompanying bone changes associated with vitamin D deficiency. DBP markedly prolonged the serum half-life of 25(OH)D and less dramatically prolonged the half-life of vitamin D by slowing its hepatic …

Effects Of Salinity On The Accumulation Of Copper In Liver, Gill And Muscle Tissues Of Tilapia Nilotica, Murat Karakoç

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In this study, effects of 5‰, 10‰, 15‰ and 20‰ NaCl concentrations on the accumulation of copper in liver, gill and muscle tissues of Tilapia niloticawere studied over experimental periods of 1, 7, 15 and 30 days at concentrations of 0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 ppm copper in the medium. The highest levels of copper were found in the liver and the lowest values in the muscle tissue in a given NaCl and metal concentration. Accumulation of copper in the liver tissue, however, increased with increasing copper concentrations in the medium in all salt concentrations. The increase of the NaCl concentration …
