Differential expression of genes identified by suppression subtractive hybridization in liver and adipose tissue of gerbils with diabetes. [PDF]
We aimed at identifying genes related to hereditary type 2 diabetes expressed in the liver and the adipose tissue of spontaneous diabetic gerbils using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) screening.Two gerbil littermates, one with high and the ...

Implantable Medical Devices, Biomaterials, and the Foreign Body Response: A Surgical Perspective
ABSTRACT Implantable medical devices improve quality of life and reduce mortality by restoring the form and function of the human body. Their biomaterial surface components in contact with tissues are, however, susceptible to the host's foreign body response, which drives inflammation and implant fibrous encapsulation.

A Distributed and Accountable Approach to Offline Recommender Systems Evaluation [PDF]
Different software tools have been developed with the purpose of performing offline evaluations of recommender systems. However, the results obtained with these tools may be not directly comparable because of subtle differences in the experimental ...

A deuterium‐NMR‐based approach for glucose metabolism monitoring was used to study the metabolic consequences of ischemia and reperfusion in the rat brain ex vivo. Deuterated lactate was immediately formed in the brain upon administration of deuterated glucose. Upon perfusion arrest, deuterated lactate built up in the slices, and its level decreased to

NaCl preference in the gerbil [PDF]
Gerbil preference levels for salt solutions were determined by using the single-stimulus method. The concentration resulting in the largest acceptance was 0.9%, even though gerbils can utilize salt solutions as high as 6%. Since the single-stimulus method correlates well with other preference measures, these results should generalize to other testing ...

Background The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) has historically been used as a model organism for the auditory and visual systems, stroke/ischemia, epilepsy and aging related research since 1935 when laboratory gerbils were separated from their ...

Neuronal degeneration and microglial activation in the ischemic dentate gyrus of the gerbil.
In the present study, we investigated the time-course changes of neuronal degeneration and microglial activation in the gerbil dentate gyrus after transient cerebral ischemia using Fluoro-Jade B histofluorescence staining and immunohistochemistry for Iba-

Use of Apple Airtag to track urban wildlife: Proof of concept with Harris's hawks
Abstract Accurate tracking of the movement of wildlife is important for understanding the behavior, spatial use, and resource selection of a species. While traditional methods like Very High Frequency (VHF) transmitters have been widely used, newer technologies, such as GPS data loggers and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) transmitters ...

The economic importance and control of vertebrate pests of graminaceous crops with particular reference to rice (Oryza sativa) in Nigeria--a review [PDF]
Graminaceous crops, especially rice (Orzya sativa), have within the last years in Nigeria, surged to be of utmost economic importance, not in improving the economy but in depleting the country of fast foreign exchange. Attempts at improving and massively
