Canine ehrlichiosis seropositivity and associated factors in Kenya and Tanzania: a retrospective study.

Canine ehrlichiosis is an important tick-borne disease caused by bacteria in the Ehrlichia genus with species such as E. canis, E. ewingii and E.

Development and evaluation of an efficient training program to facilitate the adoption of a novel neurorehabilitation device.

Many rehabilitation devices are not adopted by therapists in practice. One major barrier is therapists' limited time and resources to get training. The objective of this study was to develop/evaluate an efficient training program for a novel rehabilitation device.

A point-source outbreak of campylobacteriosis associated with consumption of raw milk.

After a one-day field trip to a Minnesota farm, 22 (45%) of 49 third-grade students and three (14%) of 21 adult chaperones developed campylobacteriosis. Campylobacter jejuni was isolated from specimens of 13 children and one asymptomatic adult. Illness was associated with the consumption of raw milk during a picnic lunch (odds ratio = 41.

Tri-state toxic-shock syndrome study. II. Clinical and laboratory findings.

Clinical and laboratory findings were examined in 80 nonfatal cases of toxic-shock syndrome (TSS) which occurred in women from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa between October 1, 1979, and September 19, 1980. Among the clinical and laboratory factors reviewed, the presence of physician-diagnosed shock was the factor that most significantly correlated with other organ involvement. Vomiting, mucous membrane hyperemia, myalgias, and abnormal urinalysis were the factors noted to be manifest as frequently in the absence as in the presence of shock.

Estradiol bending in cytosol from epididymides of immature rabbits.

A highly specific, high affinity binding protein for estradiol-17beta (E2) is present in cytosol prepared from the epididymides of immature (21-53 day old) rabbits. This binding moiety sediments on sucrose gradients as an 8S species under low ionic strength conditions and as a 4S species under conditions of high ionic strength (0.3 M KCL).
