Differential infection behavior of African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype I and II in the upper respiratory tract.
different areas in the nasal mucosa, including epithelial cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells. Using porcine respiratory epithelial cells (PoRECs), isolated from nasal tissue, we found a difference in ...
Bottom-up approach to build a ‘precision’ risk factor classification for diabetic foot ulcer healing. Proof-of-concept
and bootstrapping. Results: Five essential independent variables were identified: presentation delay, history of minor amputation, ulcer location, surface area and ischemia. This 5 variable-model showed a better ...
Ecotoxicity profile of heavily contaminated surface water of two rivers in Tunisia
areas. Combining chemical and biological approaches, allowed the detection of water ecotoxicity in testing organisms and the identification of possible contributors to the toxicity observed in these ...
Increased surface area of halloysite nanotubes due to surface modification predicts lung inflammation and acute phase response after pulmonary exposure in mice
Assay Halloysite nanotubes High aspect ratio nanomaterial (HARN) Abstract: The toxicological potential of halloysite nanotubes (HNT s) and variants after functional alterations to surface area are not ...
Residential green space and seasonal distress in a cohort of tree pollen allergy patients
(1.4–1.7)]. Residential green space had protective effects against short-term distress [high green, per combined surface area of 10 ha: adjusted odds ratio OR = 0.94 (95% confidence interval 0.90–0.99); low ...
Piacentinu Ennese PDO cheese as reservoir of promising probiotic bacteria.
area of Enna (Sicily, Italy), using raw ewe’s milk without the addition of any starter cultures. In the present study, the Lactobacillus population of Piacentinu Ennese PDO cheese was in vitro screened ...
Linking existing in vitro dermal absorption data to physicochemical properties: Contribution to the design of a weight-of-evidence approach for the safety evaluation of cosmetic ingredients with low dermal bioavailability.
topological polar surface area and log P) and their in vitro dermal absorption data. Although performed on a limited number of compounds, the study suggests a strategic opportunity to support the safety ...
Contamination of freshly slaughtered pig carcasses with enteropathogenic Yersinia spp.: Distribution, quantification and identification of risk factors.
pseudotuberculosis from 1.4% and 0.6%, respectively. The pathogens were also recovered from 39.7% of carcass surfaces post-evisceration. The highest prevalence was found at the mandibular region (28.9%), followed by ...
Determination of the volume-specific surface area by using transmission electron tomography for characterization and definition of nanomaterials.
area and the volume of the examined NM could be estimated directly and the volume-specific surface area (VSSA) was calculated. The mean VSSA of all examined NM was significantly larger than the threshold ...
Transfer of soil contaminants to home-produced eggs and preventive measures to reduce contamination.
providing a sufficient surface area per chicken were considered the most appropriate in terms of feasibility and willingness to apply the measures by the private chicken owners. To enhance the effect of the ...
