Implementation and Interim Analysis of a Standardized Renal Trauma Imaging and Urinary Extravasation Management Protocol.

Introduction: The AUA recommends delayed-phase imaging (DPI) in renal injuries to evaluate the collecting system. A renal trauma imaging protocol for early conservative management of urinary extravasation (UE) was implemented to improve guideline adherence. We aimed to determine if increased adherence led to changes in outcomes.

Changing expression system alters oligomerization and proinflammatory activity of recombinant human S100A9.

S100A9 is a Damage Associated Molecular Pattern (DAMP) that activates the innate immune system via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Despite many years of study, the mechanism of activation remains unknown. To date, much of the biochemical characterization of S100A9 has been performed using recombinant S100A9 expressed in (S100A9).

Proposal of Troglocephalinae n. subfam. (Monogenea: Monocotylidae) to accommodate existing and two new monocotylids from the gills of rhinopristiform shovelnose rays.

Troglocephalinae n. subfam. is proposed for Spinuris Doran, 1953, Neoheterocotyle Hargis, 1955, Anoplocotyloides Young, 1967, Troglocephalus rhinobatidis Young, 1967 (previously incertae sedis), Nonacotyle pristis Ogawa, 1991, Mehracotyle insolita Neifar, Euzet & Ben Hassine, 2002, Scuticotyle cairae n.

S100A9 interacts with a dynamic region on CD14 to activate Toll-like receptor 4.

S100A9 is a Damage Associated Molecular Pattern (DAMP) that activates inflammatory pathways via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). This activity plays important homeostatic roles in tissue repair, but can also contribute to inflammatory diseases. The mechanism of activation is unknown.

A review and comparison of the nematode assemblages of the Australian golden bandicoot, Isoodon auratus, the quenda, I. fusciventer and southern brown bandicoot, I. obesulus (Peramelidae), from material held in the south Australian museum.

A total of 333 vials of nematodes collected from three species of (representing three individuals of 63 of and 92 of ) held in the Australian Helminthological Collection of the South Australian Museum were examined. Nematodes were identified and the nematode assemblages of the three hosts were compared with each other and with the assemblage of Two fully identified species were recovered from eight from and 14 from None of the species occurred in all three hosts; (Subuluridae), (Dromaeostrongylidae) and (Mackerrastrongylidae) all occurred in and Only was also found in Sorensen's index of similarity, 27.2 %, showed that and did not have similar nematode communities and neither were their communities similar to that of 17.
