High temperature (>1000 K) reaction kinetics in the stoichiometric (1:1 by molar ratio) Al-Ni system was investigated by using the, so-called, electrothermal analysis (ETA) method. ETA is the only technique that allows studying kinetics of a heterogeneous gasless reaction at temperatures above the melting points of the precursors. Special attention was focused on methodological aspects of the ETA method. Two different reaction systems were studied: (i) initial Al/Ni clad particles; (ii) the same powders but after 15 min of high energy ball milling. Analysis of the obtained results leads to the conclusion that such mechanical treatment decreases the apparent activation energies of the reaction in the Ni-Al system, from 47 +/- 7 kcal/mol for the initial powder to 25 +/- 3 kcal/mol after ball milling. Comparison of these data with those reported previously was also made.

Investigation of the frequency and selected prevalence factors of equid alphaherpesvirus 4 viremia in horses with acute onset of fever and respiratory signs.

Equid alphaherpesvirus 4 (EqAHV4; , ; equine rhinopneumonitis virus) has seldom been associated with complications such as abortion and myeloencephalopathy, given the low tendency of this virus to induce viremia. We investigated the frequency of EqAHV4 viremia in horses with fever and respiratory signs. Case selection included all equids with EqAHV4 quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)-positive nasal secretions (defined as EqAHV4 qPCR-positive cases) submitted to a diagnostic laboratory.

Medical Virology Unit, Faculty of Basic Medical and Applied Sciences, Lead City University and Primary Health Care Board, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
Background: Dengue fever (DF) poses a growing global threat, necessitating a comprehensive one-health approach to address its complex interplay between human, animal, and environmental factors. In Oyo State, Nigeria, the true burden of DF remains unknown due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis as malaria, exacerbated by poor health-seeking behavior, weak surveillance systems, and inadequate health infrastructure. Adopting a one-health approach is crucial to understanding the dynamics of DF transmission.

Background: Due to climate change and rapid urbanization, the frequency of heatwave events in East China has increased considerably since the 21st century, which has a considerable influence on human health, such as heatstroke. However, few studies have been conducted in this region on the relationship between heatstroke and meteorological conditions. To address this point, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics of heatstroke and their relationship with meteorological conditions in Hefei, China.
