Automation: robots in the vivarium.

Lab animal
Automation technologies are improving efficiency in the vivarium and helping institutions keep up with the growing number of mutant rodents in their colonies.

Redox-Responsive Amphipathic Dextran Nanomicelles for Solid Tumor Therapy.

Journal of biomedical nanotechnology
A disulfide bond containing deoxycholic acid-grafted dextran (Dex-SSDCA) was successfully prepared for drug delivery. The Dex-SSDCA polymers can self-assemble into nanomicelles at concentrations below 56 g/mL and encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX) effecti...

Diagnosis and Management of Polycythemia Vera in a Ferret ().

Comparative medicine
A 5-y-old female ferret (Mustela putorius furo) was evaluated for diarrhea, anorexia, and lethargy for 1 wk. Only mild dehydration was detected on physical examination. CBC analysis revealed marked erythrocytosis with an unremarkable plasma biochemis...

Using a Six Sigma Fishbone Analysis Approach To Evaluate the Effect of Extreme Weather Events on Salmonella Positives in Young Chicken Slaughter Establishments.

Journal of food protection
A six sigma fishbone analysis approach was used to develop a machine learning model in SAS, Version 9.4, by using stepwise linear regression. The model evaluated the effect of a wide variety of variables, including slaughter establishment operational...

The Effect of Artemisia fragrans Willd: Essential Oil on Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression and Nitric Oxide Production in Lipopolysaccharide-stimulated Murine Macrophage Cell Line.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology
The genus Artemisia is estimated to comprise over 800 species with anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Artemisia fragrans (A. fragrans), a species that belongs to genus Artemisia, is rich in monoterpenes and sesqu...

Metformin Alleviates Lipopolysaccharide-induced Acute Lung Injury through Suppressing Toll-like Receptor 4 Signaling.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology
Signaling AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensing enzyme, has been implicated in controlling inflammation. In this study we investigated whether activation of AMPK by metformin could protect the lung from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induc...

Successful Treatment of Suspected Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in a Mealy Amazon Parrot (Amazona farinose).

Journal of avian medicine and surgery
A 25-year-old, male mealy Amazon parrot (Amazona farinose) with a history of polycythemia, hepatomegaly, and epistaxis was evaluated for progressive lethargy and anorexia. Clinical laboratory testing revealed severe polycythemia (71%), hypophosphatem...

Horse-Expert: An aided expert system for diagnosing horse diseases.

Polish journal of veterinary sciences
In contrast to the rapid development of the horse husbandry in China, the ability of horse veterinarians to diagnose diseases has not been improved and only a few domain experts have considerable expertise. At present, many expert systems have been d...

A Model of a Synthetic Biological Communication Interface between Mammalian Cells and Mechatronic Systems.

IEEE transactions on nanobioscience
The creation of communication interfaces between abiotic and biotic systems represents a significant research challenge. In this work, we design and model a system linking the biochemical signaling pathways of mammalian cells to the actions of a mobi...

Computer aided prognosis for cell death categorization and prediction in vivo using quantitative ultrasound and machine learning techniques.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: At present, a one-size-fits-all approach is typically used for cancer therapy in patients. This is mainly because there is no current imaging-based clinical standard for the early assessment and monitoring of cancer treatment response. Here,...
