Brucellosis is of worldwide economic and public health importance. Heifer vaccination with live attenuated <i>Brucella abortus</i> strain 19 (S19) is the cornerstone of control in low- and middle-income countries. Antibody persistence induced by S19 is directly correlated with the number of colony-forming units (CFU) per dose. There are two vaccination methods: a ‘high’ dose (5–8 × 10¹⁰ ...

Salmonid red blood cells are the main target cells for <i>Piscine orthoreovirus</i> (PRV). Three genotypes of PRV (PRV-1,2,3) infect Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>), Chinook salmon (<i>Onchorhynchus tshawytscha</i>), Coho salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus kisutch</i>), rainbow trout (<i>Onchorhynchus mykiss</i>) and brown trout (<i>Salmo trutta</i>), and can cause diseases like heart and skeletal muscle ...

Artikkelen diskuterer hvordan syn på flerspråklighet kan være diskursive vilkår for barnehagens samarbeid med foreldre til flerspråklige barn. Med utgangspunkt i neksusanalyse (Scollon og Scollon 2004) studerer jeg barnehagelærernes og foreldrenes syn på flerspråklighet ved å analysere deres språklige praksiser slik de kommer frem i intervjuer. Jeg undersøker hvilke syn på flerspråklighet barnehagelærere ...

<p><I>Introduction</I>: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second most common cancer in women worldwide. Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced risk of CRC; however, this has been demonstrated more consistently in men, while results of studies in women have been largely equivocal. We aimed to further examine the relationship between PA patterns and the risk of CRC in women, using ...

Optimal clinical management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) Optimal clinical management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) requires understanding of the impact on patients. The NORdic PAtient survey of Psoriasis and PsA (NORPAPP) aimed to obtain current data on disease prevalence and patient perceptions in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Among 22,050 individuals questioned, the reported ...

Currently, little is known about the cognitive constraints underlying manual dexterity decline in aging. Here, we assessed the relationship between cognitive function and dexterity in 45 young and 55 healthy older adults. Effects of gender on the cognition‐dexterity association were also explored. Cognitive assessment comprised neuropsychological tests of executive function, working memory, attention, ...

<p>Today, 71% of those who are diagnosed with cancer live five years or longer after treatment. Although the level of mortality varies considerably between different cancer diagnoses, the total number of people who recover after cancer is increasing. There is a need to gain knowledge on how people who live in the aftermath of cancer treatment experience health and illness, bodily sensations, everyday ...

A series of stable Pt(IV) corrole complexes with the general formula Pt^IV[TpXPC](<i>m/p</i>-C₆H₄CN)(py), where TpXPC^3– is the trianion of a tris(<i>p</i>-X-phenyl)corrole and X = CF₃, H, and CH₃, has been synthesized, affording key physicochemical data on a rare and elusive class of metallocorroles. Single-crystal X-ray structures of ...
