"Am I My Brother's Keeper?": Requiring Landowner Disclosure Of The Presence Of Sex Offenders And Other Criminal Activity, Shelley Ross Saxer Jan 2001

"Am I My Brother's Keeper?": Requiring Landowner Disclosure Of The Presence Of Sex Offenders And Other Criminal Activity, Shelley Ross Saxer

Nebraska Law Review

This article explores the landowner liability issues of whether to disclose or warn others about future criminal activity that might occur on the premises in the future. The duty to warn others about criminal activity is based on the tort concept of premises liability, while the duty to disclose the presence of criminals in the area is a recent departure from the common law rules of caveat emptor and caveat lessee. Part II of this article describes the historical development in tort law of premises liability for the criminal acts of others. This part also discusses recent trends in premises …

The aim of this study was to investigate the systemic humoral and cell-mediated immune system parameters, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity in non-convulsive absence epilepsy and pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)- induced generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Animals were divided into three groups: i. the control group, ii. the genetic absence epilepsy WAG/Rij group, and iii. the chronic generalized tonic-clonic convulsion group injected with PTZ. After the experimental procedure, blood samples were collected intracardially, and CD3+ (T cells), CD4+ (T helper), CD8+ (T cytotoxic), CD19+ (B cells) and CD25+ (IL-2 reseptor, active T cell) cell ratios were determined by indirect immunoflourescence in FACScan, …

Brain Stem And Cerebral Cortex Histamine Concentrations In The Rem Sleep Deprived Rats, Hale Sayan, Ethem Geli̇r, Aydan Babül Jan 2001

Brain Stem And Cerebral Cortex Histamine Concentrations In The Rem Sleep Deprived Rats, Hale Sayan, Ethem Geli̇r, Aydan Babül

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Histamine is a biogenic amine widely distributed in the central nervous system that acts in a neuroregulatory role in controlling the waking state. The aim of this study was to determine whether 120 h of REM sleep deprivation (REMSD) causes changes in histamine concentrations in rat brain stems and cerebral cortex areas that are involved in the homeostatic regulation of sleep. A number of rats were subjected to 120 h of REM sleep deprivation using the flower pot water tank technique. This method used to induce REMSD is believed to be stressful. To control for the stress caused by the …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study transferrin polymorphism was investigated in hair goat breeds raised in the Bursa region by using 148 blood samples of hair goat. The separation of transferrin types was carried out using horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis. The frequencies of transferrin alleles were calculated to be 0.54 ±0.029 and 0.46 ±0.029 for Tf A and Tf B , respectively. Differences between the expected and observed number of transferrin genotypes were insignificant.

The Distribution Of Nitric Oxide Synthase In The Rat Spinal Cord, Mümtaz Nazli, Richard Morris

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Since the proposal that nitric oxide acts as an intercellular signalling molecule in the nervous system, a large number of studies have been carried out to determine its functions in neural tissue. In this study, neuronal nitric oxide synthase using the highly specific polyclonal nature of an antibody is observed mainly in laminae I-II_i, lamina X and in the intermediolateral cell column of the thoraco-lumbar spinal cord. The distribution of neuronal nitric oxide synthase was confirmed and extended the work done in previous studies. Distinct concentrations of neuronal nitric oxide synthase expressing small to medium sized neurones were seen in …

Screening Of Some Turkish Plants For Antibacterial Activity, Oya Keleş, Seyyal Ak, Tülay Bakirel, Keri̇m Alpinar

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Some 14 ethanol extracts from 13 plant species collected from various regions of Turkey were assayed for in vitro antibacterial activity against two Gram positive and 5 Gram negative bacteria, using the disc-diffusion and dilution methods. The diameter of the inhibition zone in the disc-diffusion method shows that 12 extracts from the 14 plants studied have antibacterial activity in different levels. The broadest spectrum of activity was exhibited by Malva sylvestris against five bacteria, whereas the Verbascum spp. extract only showed activity against one. The highest antibacterial activity was produced by the extract of Hypericum perforatum. The minimum inhibitory concentration …

In Vitro Antibacterial Activities Of Tilmicosin And Cefquinome Alone Or In Combination Against Certain Poultry Pathogens, Seyyal Ak, Oya Keleş, Tülay Bakirel

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The antimicrobial activities of cefquinome and tilmicosin were determined in vitro against P. multocida and O. rhinotracheale of poultry origin by serial broth macrodilution. Both antibiotics exhibited good in vitro antibacterial activity against the strains tested. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for cefquinome was 1.562 µg/ml and for tilmicosin was 0.78 µg/ml for both microorganisms. To investigate the effects of a combination of cefquinome and tilmicosin, the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index was determined by checkerboard assay. The antimicrobial combination was additive against P. multocida (FIC=1) and indifferent against O. rhinotracheale (FIC=2).

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacologic effects of Polygonum lapathifolium L. (Polygonaceae), growing naturally in Turkey. The antiinflammatory activity of the ethanol extract of the root and rhizome of P. lapathifolium was evaluated using carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. Intraperitoneal pretreatment with extract at doses ranging from 100 to 500 mg/kg significantly inhibited the acute phase of this experimental model of the inflammatory process in a dose-dependent manner. At maximal dose (500 mg/kg), it exhibited a significantly higher action when compared with those of other doses and was found to be 1.08 times as active as indomethacin. The …
