Prevalence and Distribution of Macular Fluid with Central Retinal Artery Occlusion and Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy.

Purpose: To examine the prevalence and distribution of fluid within a cohort of eyes with acute central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of patient records and OCT imaging. Patients presenting with acute CRAO or AION who had available macular OCT imaging and no co-morbidities known to cause macular fluid were included in the analysis.

Fungal treatment for liquid waste containing U(VI) and Th(IV).

Four fungal and one bacterial isolates were isolated from a liquid waste sample of Nuclear Material Authority. Those dried biomasses were screened for uranium (U) and thorium (Th) adsorption efficiency where the most potent isolate was identified according to sequence similarities and phylogenetic analysis as LBM 134 Using U or Th synthetic solutions many factors were investigated for controlling the biosorption process to conduct the optimum process conditions (the solution pH, contact time, elemental initial concentration, biomass dosage, and sorption temperature). was examined ESEM-EDX and the FTIR techniques before and after the sorption process, also the data were handled by different kinetics and isothermal models.

Responses of testosterone hormone concentration, semen quality, and its related pro-inflammatory cytokines in bucks following Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and its mycolic acid infection.

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis, a debilitating chronic disease of sheep and goats. Little is known about the buck's reproductive pathophysiology with respect to inoculation with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculois and its immunogen mycolic acid extract. Therefore, this present study was designed to determine the concentration of testosterone hormone, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and semen quality of the experimental animals.
