Infection with different Neospora caninum strains causes differences in the glycosylation pattern in the uteri and placentae of Neospora caninum-infected heifers.

Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes abortion in ruminants. Different strains produce differences in the severity of disease outcomes. These differences may cause physiological or pathological changes in cells, modifying the intercellular interactions and intracellular transport pathways that could be evidenced by identifying the terminal sugars.

EPITRANS. Quality assessment of the epilepsy transition process.

Objective: To analyze the differences in clinical management during the epilepsy transition process from pediatric to adult care and to determine the quality of life and degree of satisfaction of patients and caregivers during the transition.

Methods: This is a longitudinal study including patients with epilepsy transferred from pediatric to adult epilepsy care between 2013 and 2017. Patients had a minimum follow-up of 3 years before the transition visit and at least 3 years consulting in the adults section.

Kinetics of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine-induced antibody responses in buffaloes (): avidity ELISA as an alternative to the virus neutralization test.

The role of water buffaloes in foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) epidemiology as one of the major hosts of the virus that can develop persistent asymptomatic infection highlights the importance of sustaining surveillance on the antibody response elicited by vaccination in these animals. There is gap in the knowledge on how serological assays that measure antibodies against capsid proteins perform with buffalo samples and which would be the most reliable test to substitute the virus neutralization test (VNT) a cumbersome and low-throughput tool for field surveillance. Alternatively, the liquid-phase blocking sandwich ELISA (LPBE) is commonly used.

Analysis of myocardial infarction incidence and case-fatality in the last three decades in the province of Girona.

Introduction And Objectives: Myocardial infarction (MI) incidence and case fatality trends are highly informative but relatively untested at the population level. The objective of this work was to estimate MI incidence and case fatality in the Girona population aged 35-74 years, and to determine their 30-year trends (1990-2019).

Methods: The REGICOR (Girona Heart Registry) monitored MI incidence and case fatality rates from 1990 to 2008.

Luminescent Chiral Furanol-PAHs via Straightforward Ni-Catalysed C -F Functionalization: Mechanistic Insights into the Scholl Reaction.

Here we report the stepwise synthesis of new nanographenes (NGs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) obtained via Scholl ring fusion applied at aromatic homologation compounds, which are obtained through one-step Ni-catalysed C -F functionalization. The latter are rapidly accessed valid precursors for the Scholl reaction, and screening of experimental conditions allowed us to describe for the first time furanol-bearing PAHs. Mechanistic insights are obtained by DFT to rationalize the formation of the furanol PAHs under moderately acidic conditions.
