ABSTRACT This study aimed at evaluating beak-trimming methods and intensities on the performance, beak length and uniformity, and egg parameters of commercial layers.During the rearing period, birds were distributed in randomized blocks, with a 2x3 factorial design + two treatments, consisting of beak trimming with infrared (IR) radiation (moderate
A high-throughput single-particle imaging platform for antibody characterization and a novel competition assay for therapeutic antibodies
Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) play an important role in diagnostics and therapy of infectious diseases.Here we utilize a single-particle interferometric reflectance imaging sensor (SP-IRIS) for screening 30 mAbs against Ebola, Sudan, and Lassa viruses (EBOV, SUDV, and LASV) to find out the ideal capture antibodies for whole virus detection
Integrated Optical Chemical Sensor Based on an SOI Ring Resonator Using Phase-Interrogation
A phase-interrogation approach for the bulk refractive index sensing based on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) ring resonator is introduced.The rapid phase variation around the resonance of the ring resonator is interrogated, and a single-sideband generation and coherent ALOE VERA 50MG detection technology is adopted for the phase measurement.In GLOSSY
Humoral Hypercalcemia of Malignancy with a Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide-Secreting Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Accompanied by a Gastric Cancer
Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM) is caused by the oversecretion of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) from malignant tumors.Although any tumor may cause HHM, that induced by intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) or gastric cancer (GC) is rare.We report here a 74-year-old male who displayed HHM with both ICC and GC and showed an el
