INCREASED ATTACK RATES AND DECREASED INCUBATION PERIODS IN RACCOONS WITH CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE PASSAGED THROUGH MEADOW VOLES

Increased Attack Rates and Decreased Incubation Periods in Raccoons with Chronic Wasting Disease Passaged through Meadow Voles

Chronic wasting Instrument Cable disease (CWD) is a naturally-occurring neurodegenerative disease of cervids.Raccoons (Procyon lotor) and meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) have previously been shown to be susceptible to the CWD agent.To investigate the potential for transmission of the agent of CWD from white-tailed deer to voles and subsequen

Optical and Photocatalytic Properties of Br-Doped BiOCl Nanosheets with Rich Oxygen Vacancies and Dominating {001} Facets

Crystal facet engineering and nonmetal doping are regarded as effective strategies for improving the separation of charge carriers and photocatalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts.In this paper, we developed a facial method for fabricating oxygen-deficient Br-doped BiOCl nanosheets with dominating {001} facets through a traditional hydro

Comprehensive data on the mechanical properties and biodegradation profile of polylactide composites developed for hard tissue repairs

Polylactide (PLA), a biopolymer, Navionics was reinforced with three fillers (two organic reinforcements and one inorganic filler).The processing technique used to fabricate the composites was the melt-blending technique.The composites and the unreinforced PLA were subjected to microhardness, compression and biodegradation characterisations.Data ob

Reconsideration of urine culture for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis in children: a new challenging method for diagnosing acute pyelonephritis

Acute pyelonephritis (APN) should be Carpet Shampoo detected and treated as soon as possible to reduce the risk of the development of acquired renal scarring.However, in the medical field, urine culture results are not available or considered when the prompt discrimination of APN is necessary and empirical treatment is started.Furthermore, urine cu
