Immunoassays such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are utilized extensively for detecting protein biomarkers and small molecules in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food analysis. Unfortunately, the current strategies for imm...
The effect of orally administered hawthorn flavonoid extract (HFE) on growth, electrocardiographic waves, and cardiac parameters of pulmonary hypertensive chickens reared at high altitude (2,100 m above sea level) was examined. A total of 225 one-day...
The sperm storage tubules located in the mucosal folds of the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) are the primary site of sperm storage in chicken hens after natural mating or artificial insemination (AI). The short-term sperm storage (24 h after mating or A...
Plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) genes located on conjugative plasmids can be transferred to other bacteria in the absence of antimicrobial selective pressure. To elucidate the prevalence of resistance, including PMQR in an egg-producing ...

The increasing uptake of machine learning solutions for segmentation and planning leaves no doubt that artificial intelligence (AI) will soon be providing input into a range of radiotherapy procedures. Although this promises to deliver increased spee...
BACKGROUND: Long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is closely related to many biological activities. Since its sequence structure is similar to that of messenger RNA (mRNA), it is difficult to distinguish between the two based only on sequence biometrics...
BACKGROUND: The propensity of different Anopheles mosquitoes to bite humans instead of other vertebrates influences their capacity to transmit pathogens to humans. Unfortunately, determining proportions of mosquitoes that have fed on humans, i.e. Hum...
