Temporal and seasonal trends of bovine tuberculosis in the Irish cattle population (2008–2024)
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has substantial impacts on the Irish cattle industry. Between 2016 and 2024, its burden increased in Irish cattle. As an initial step towards understanding drivers of this increase, we explore long‐term trends in measures of bTB burden and cattle demographics in Ireland. Methods Using data from 2008 to 2024,

Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT These updated EAACI guidelines aim to standardize skin testing methodologies for both immediate and non‐immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions. For immediate reactions, the optimal testing window is 4–6 weeks post‐reaction; whereas beyond 6 months, false‐negative results increase.

α‐Synuclein strain homogeneity in multiple system atrophy subtypes
Brain Pathology, EarlyView.Two different subtypes of multiple system atrophy are recognized: MSA‐C and MSA‐P. In this manuscript, Lau et al. investigate whether MSA‐C and MSA‐P are caused by different strains of α‐synuclein aggregates. By performing conformational fingerprinting experiments as well as in vitro and in vivo seeding assays, their findings suggest that both MSA‐C ...

More on search for causes of sensitization to tuberculin PPD for mammals in cattle [PDF]
, 2021 Despite the large number of papers dealing with the description of proposed methods for bovine tuberculosis diagnosis and mechanisms of non-specific reaction development in diseased and healthy animals, various aspects require further study.

Utility of newer technologies for the diagnosis of active and latent tuberculosis [PDF]
, 2009 Includes bibliographical references (leaves 91-109).Since the 1800s the tuberculin skin test (TST) has been the only available test for latent tuberculosis (LTBI). Recently, interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) have been developed which are based upon

Cholinergic inputs to motoneurons in the spinal cord augment focal muscle spasticity in rodents
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Cholinergic premotor inputs to motoneurons support high levels of motor output when required. However, the possible role of these inputs in pathologically elevated muscle tone has not been characterised. To address this, we examined the modulatory effect of spinal acetylcholine (ACh) on experimental spastic paralysis ...

Exploring the Fate of Cattle Herds With Inconclusive Reactors to the Tuberculin Skin Test
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018 Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an important animal health issue in many parts of the world. In England and Wales, the primary test to detect infected animals is the single intradermal comparative cervical tuberculin test, which compares immunological ...
