Addressing Clinical Misconduct: Resigning and Whistleblowing in Clinical Ethics Consultation.

Clinical ethics consultants occasionally encounter unethical and/or unprofessional behavior as part of their normal job functions. In this article, we explore whether resigning (i.e.

A Novel Model for Generating Creative, Community-Responsive Interventions to Reduce Gender-Based Violence on College Campuses.

Currently, the most successful prevention interventions against sexual violence (SV) on United States college campuses target modifications at the individual and interpersonal levels. Community-level interventions have been under-developed for college campuses. To address this gap, we employ a citizen science model for understanding campus community factors affecting SV risk.

Phytase dosing affects phytate degradation and Muc2 transporter gene expression in broiler starters.

This study was conducted to determine effects of high phytase use on growth performance, amino acid (AA) digestibility, intestinal phytate breakdown, and nutrient transporter expression in starter broiler chickens. Male Ross 308 chicks were allocated to 24 pens, at 15 birds/pen and assigned to one of 4 dietary treatments. Treatments were: a control diet (PCa+) that contained adequate levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) for growing broiler chicks; a reduced Ca and P diet (PCa-:-1.

Intramuscular DNA Vaccination of Juvenile Carp against Spring Viremia of Carp Virus Induces Full Protection and Establishes a Virus-Specific B and T Cell Response.

Although spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) can cause high mortalities in common carp, a commercial vaccine is not available for worldwide use. Here, we report a DNA vaccine based on the expression of the SVCV glycoprotein (G) which, when injected in the muscle even at a single low dose of 0.1 µg DNA/g of fish, confers up to 100% protection against a subsequent bath challenge with SVCV.

Expression of immunogenic structural proteins of cyprinid herpesvirus 3 in vitro assessed using immunofluorescence.

Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), also called koi herpesvirus (KHV), is the aetiological agent of a fatal disease in carp and koi (Cyprinus carpio L.), referred to as koi herpesvirus disease. The virus contains at least 40 structural proteins, of which few have been characterised with respect to their immunogenicity.
