The FORGENIUS Genomic Resources: New Genotyping Tools and Genomic Data for 23 Forest Tree Species and Their Genetic Conservation Units. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is a critical but often overlooked component of biological diversity. The European H2020 FORGENIUS project is aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of genetic data to start monitoring the European network of forest Genetic Conservation Units (GCUs).

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate as a Monitoring Marker in the Canine Intensive Care Unit. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To (1) establish whether the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at admission is related to mortality in dogs hospitalized in the ICU; (2) observe and evaluate the ESR trend during 48–72 h of hospitalization and determine how it relates to mortality; and (3) test whether ESR is a marker of sepsis.

Genetic Assignment at Different Geographical Levels: A Case Study in a Forest Tree Species (<i>Pinus pinaster</i> Ait.) Using SNP Markers. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Genetic markers can assist in the identification of the stock origin in different organisms. Comparative studies of forest tree provenances have demonstrated that forest tree populations differ in performance across environments and at multiple geographic levels: populations nested within regions nested within gene pools.

A rapid method to estimate Westergren sedimentation rates [PDF]
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a nonspecific but simple and inexpensive test that was introduced into medical practice in 1897. Although it is commonly utilized in the diagnosis and follow-up of various clinical conditions, ESR has several limitations including the required 60 min settling time for the test. Herein we introduce a novel use

A new automated method for the determination of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [PDF]
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or sedimentation rate is a measure of the settling of red blood cells in a tube of blood during one hour. The rate is an indication of inflammation and increases in many diseases.

Differences in Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rates Using the Westergren Method and a Centrifugation Method [PDF]
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a nonspecific screening test to assess elevations of acute phase proteins that occur in various acute and chronic diseases. The recommended method is based on the Westergren method. Other technologies to measure ESR have been developed, including centrifugation-based methods.

Genomic Signatures of Climate-Driven (Mal)Adaptation in an Iconic Conifer, the English Yew (<i>Taxus baccata</i> L.). [PDF]
ABSTRACT The risk of climate maladaptation is increasing for numerous species, including trees. Developing robust methods to assess population maladaptation remains a critical challenge. Genomic offset approaches aim to predict climate maladaptation by characterizing the genomic changes required for populations to maintain their fitness under changing ...

Identifying and analyzing the effects of electric fields on erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Introduction: The influence of electric field on the nature of blood flow and cells is controversial. Erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) examination is a recommended approach to diagnose a few health conditions such as polymyalgia rheumatic and ...
