Bayley-III scales at 12 months of corrected age in preterm infants: Patterns of developmental performance and correlations to environmental and biological influences
(2015)Background and aims: Premature infants are at high risk for neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) even in the absence of known brain complications of prematurity. Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions ... -
Calprotectin in lung diseases
(2021)Calprotectin (CLP) is a heterodimer formed by two S‐100 calcium‐binding cytosolic pro-teins, S100A8 and S100A9. It is a multifunctional protein expressed mainly by neutrophils and released extracellularly by activated or ... -
Cardiac autonomic function during intradialytic exercise training
(2019)Objectives: Cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction is a common feature in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) therapy, whilst is associated with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac ... -
Citizens' opinions about a digital health insurance record
(2020)An Electronic Health Insurance Record (EHIR) could give all the information needed to the insured citizens, informing them about the history of benefits and the health expenses. The aim of this work is to evaluate a Digital ... -
Comparative evaluation of metallic skin staples or polypropylene sutures for primary closure of teat wounds in sheep
(2019)Aims: To compare stainless steel staples and polypropylene suture material for primary closure of wounds after teat amputation in ewes and to assess progress of healing in the presence or absence of intramammary infection ... -
Comparison between the urine dipstick and the pH-meter to assess urine pH in sheep and dogs
(2018)Background: Urine pH is an integral part of a complete urinalysis, and is commonly measured in veterinary practice using semiquantitative reagent strips. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the urine pH of dogs ... -
Comparison of biuret and refractometry methods for the serum total proteins measurement in ruminants
(2017)Background: Determination of serum total protein concentration is commonly performed by the biuret method. Refractometric measurement is a faster and less expensive alternative but its accuracy has not been determined in ... -

(2022)(1) Background: Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a long-established estimation methodology for medical diagnosis using image classification illustrating conditions ... -
Detection of negative and positive RNA strand of poliovirus Sabin 1 and echovirus E19 by a stem-loop reverse transcription PCR
(2017)In this report a strand specific RT-PCR was established for the detection of the replicative negative RNA strand of poliovirus sabin 1 (Sabin1) and Echovirus 19 (E19) strains. The key for the successful conduction of the ... -
Diagnostic performance of quantitative diffusion tensor imaging for the differentiation of breast lesions at 3 T MRI
(2019)Background: Conventional breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including dynamic contrast-enhanced MR mammography, may lead to ambiguous diagnosis and unnecessary biopsies. Purpose: To investigate the contribution of ... -
The effect of covering material on the yield, quality and chemical composition of greenhouse-grown tomato fruit
(2019)BACKGROUND: During the last few decades, greenhouse technology for horticultural crops has focused on retaining optimum conditions within the greenhouse environment that could allow for a compromise between maximum yields ... -
Effects of two occlusive, hydrocolloid dressings on healing of full-thickness skin wounds in cats
(2016)Objectives: To determine the effects of two occlusive, hydrocolloid dressings on second intention wound healing in cats. Methods: Three 2×2 cm full-thickness skin wounds were created on each side of the trunk of 10 cats. ... -
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition in non small-cell lung cancer
(2017)Background/Aim: Lung cancer is the first cause of cancer related deaths in both males and females. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reversible process by which epithelial cells transform to mesenchymal stem ... -
Evaluation of 12 GWAS-drawn SNPs as biomarkers of rheumatoid arthritis response to TNF inhibitors. A potential SNP association with response to etanercept
(2019)Research in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is increasingly focused on the discovery of biomarkers that could enable personalized treatments. The genetic biomarkers associated with the response to TNF inhibitors (TNFi) are among ... -
Evaluation of a Direct Immunofluorescent Assay and/or Conjunctival Cytology for Detection of Canine Distemper Virus Antigen
(2018)Canine distemper is a common and potentially lethal multisystemic disease caused by the Canine distemper virus (CDV). We evaluated the diagnostic performance of direct immunofluorescent assay (FA) and cytology to detect ... -
