Genomic selection for resistance to one pathogenic strain of in blue mussel .

Introduction: The blue mussel is one of the major aquaculture species worldwide. In France, this species faces a significant threat from infectious disease outbreaks in both mussel farms and the natural environment over the past decade. Diseases caused by various pathogens, particularly spp.

Evaluation of Oral Microflora-Related to Dental Caries and Salivary pH in type II Diabetic Patients.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the chronic diseases and a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level over a prolonged period. The present study aimed to evaluate and correlate HbA1c, salivary pH, and oral bacterial microflora (streptococcus and lactobacillus colony-forming unit (CFU)) related to dental caries in normal, controlled, and uncontrolled type II diabetic patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 90 samples were taken for this study.

Photoperiod manipulation improves growth performance, haematological indices and economic returns of Indian butter catfish, Ompok bimaculatus (Bloch, 1794).

Photoperiod manipulation is emerging as an effective approach for regulating physiological functions in fish. This study aimed to assess the impact of photoperiod on the growth performance, haematological responses, and economic returns of the endangered and highly valued Indian butter catfish, Ompok bimaculatus. Fish with an average body weight of 28.

Effect of photoperiod on serum biochemistry, electrolytic balance, acute phase response and histopathology of butter catfish, Ompok bimaculatus (Bloch, 1794).

The present study was executed to evaluate the effect of photoperiod on serum biochemical parameters (glucose, cortisol, ALT, AST and LDH), electrolytic balance (Sodium and potassium), acute phase response (CRP) and histopathology (liver, kidney and skin) of an endangered high valued catfish, Ompok bimaculatus. Catfish (21.00 ± 1.

Increasing postpartum IUCD coverage through a QI initiative: a step towards reducing the unmet need of postpartum contraception.

Background: Unintended pregnancies have a negative impact on the health and economy of a nation, which can be prevented by effective family planning (FP) services. Postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUCD) is a safe and effective FP method which allows women to obtain long-acting contraception before discharge from the point of delivery. We observed poor coverage of deliveries with PPIUCD at our facility.

Prognostic Implication of Survivin Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma-An Immunohistochemical Study.

Aim: Immunohistochemical expression of survivin was analyzed among the three histological grades (well differentiated, moderately differentiated, and poorly differentiated) of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials And Methods: The study material consisted of 60 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples: 15 cases each of well, moderate, and poorly differentiated OSCC and normal oral mucosal (NOM) tissues as the control. Survivin expression was evaluated immunohistochemically and statistical analysis of data was performed using Fisher's Chi-square and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests.

Malignant fibrous histocytoma of bone in neurofibromatosis--a case report.

Multiorgan neoplasms are encountered frequently in patients with neurofibromatosis, which is a genetic disorder. Though skeletal abnormalities are common in these patients, the occurrence of primary bone sarcomas is very rare. We hereby report a case of post-radiation malignant fibrous-histiocytoma of bone developing in an elderly patient with neurofibromatosis.
