This multicenter-controlled, double-masked randomized European study was conduc-ted to confirm both the efficacy and safety of a deslorelin implant in controlling fertility and sexual behavior in a large population of tom cats over a 12-month period.Among the 225 screened individuals, a total of 205 privately owned indoor intact male cats, aged 3 m
Comparison of Neutrophil Function in Granulocyte Concentrates From Prednisone- and G-CSF-Treated Donors: Effect of Stimulant, Leukapheresis and Storage
Transfusion of granulocyte concentrates (GC) is an alternative therapy for neutropenic patients with life-threatening infections.While neutrophils are the main source of antimicrobial activity, only neutrophil numbers are used to certify GCs.The objective of this study was thus to functionally characterize neutrophils in GCs prepared Keys by leukap
Imperfect twinning: a clinical and ethical dilemma
OBJECTIVE To review the history, epidemiology, etiology, gestational aspects, diagnosis and prognosis of imperfect twinning.DATA SOURCES Scientific articles were searched in PubMed, SciELO and Lilacs databases, using the descriptors "conjoined twins", "multiple pregnancy", "ultrasound", "magnetic resonance imaging" and "prognosis".The research was
Experimental study of triaxial shear features of concentrated full tailings considering the effect of curing age
The strength evolution law of concentrated full tailings is closely related to the storage construction method, especially the growth law of shear strength with curing age.This study aims to investigate the influence of curing materials on the shear strength of full tailings and reveal the change law of the shear strength of concentrated full taili
Feline Stool-Associated Circular DNA Virus (FeSCV) in Diarrheic Cats in China
Feline stool-associated circular DNA virus (FeSCV) is an unclassified circular replication-associated protein-encoding single-stranded (CRESS) DNA virus that was discovered in cats in Japan in 2018.Few studies on the genomic characteristics and prevalence of FeSCV have been conducted.To investigate whether FeSCV has been circulating in domestic cat
