Background The current study aims at evaluating the analgesic, anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory properties of methanolic extract of the stem, bark and leaves of Launaea sarmentosa and Aegialitis rotundifolia roxb. Results The AELS and AEAR extract presented a significant (***p < 0.001) dose ...
Background There is concern of avian influenza virus (AIV) infections in humans. Subsistence hunters may be a potential risk group for AIV infections as they frequently come into close contact with wild birds and the aquatic habitats of birds while harvesting. This study aimed to examine if knowledge ...
Background. Since 2008, we have observed an increasing number of Myanmarese refugees in Malaysia being admitted for acute/subacute onset peripheral neuropathy. Most of them had a preceding history of starvation. Methods. We retrospectively studied the clinical features of all Myanmarese patients admitted ...
This study evaluated the natural prey preferences and spatial variability of predation pressure (PP = proportion of colonies with snails and/or clear predation signs) by the gastropod Cyphoma gibbosum on octocoral communities off the La Parguera Natural Reserve, Puerto Rico. All octocoral colonies were ...
The marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) has been increasingly used as a fish model for detecting environmental stresses and chemical contaminants in the marine environment. Recent mammalian studies have shown that environmental stresses can alter the expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs), leading ...
The sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) occupies a basal position during the evolution of deuterostomes and is also an important aquaculture species. In order to identify more immune effectors, transcriptome sequencing of A. japonicus coelomocytes in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge ...
Vibrios are associated with a broad diversity of hosts that produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as part of their defense against microbial infections. In particular, vibrios colonize epithelia, which function as protective barriers and express AMPs as a first line of chemical defense against pathogens. ...
Pufferfish accumulate tetrodotoxin (TTX) mainly in the liver and ovary. This study aims at investigating the effect of TTX accumulation in the liver of cultured specimens of torafugu Takifugu rubripes on the hepatic gene expression by microarray analysis on Day 5 after the intramuscular administration ...
Improvement in de novo assembly of large genomes is still to be desired. Here, we improved draft genome sequence quality by employing doubled-haploid individuals. We sequenced wildtype and doubled-haploid Takifugu rubripes genomes, under the same conditions, using the Illumina platform and assembled ...
Abstract Total E&P Indonesie (TEPI) is the main gas producer in Indonesia which produces around 1900 MMscf/d of gas. One of the challenges is to maintain its production plateau under liquid loading issue. Almost half of TEPI gas production comes from liquid-loaded wells, representing 85% of total ...
Abstract In a number of mature gas fields in the Southern North Sea there are several multilateral open-hole completions that have proven to give significant solids/pebble production problems. Since the onset of production six out of seven total multilateral open-hole gas wells had to be shut in because ...
Abstract Peregrino is an offshore oil field (block BM-C-7) located east of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the southwest part of the Campos Basin area. The oil field was discovered in 2004. Statoil Oil and Gas, Brazil has been operating the Peregrino Feld since 2008. The unconsolidated reservoir (Carapebus ...
Abstract Tanintharyi Nature Reserve Project, also known as TNRP is the first collaborative project between Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry, Union of Myanmar and our company PETRONAS together with Total E&P Myanmar since 2004. The TNRP encompasses an area of 1,700sq km and is located ...
Background The salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, is an ectoparasite of salmonids that causes huge economic losses in salmon farming, and has also been causatively linked with declines of wild salmonid populations. Lice control on farms is reliant upon a few groups of pesticides that have all shown ...
Background Since 2009, large-scale Streptococcus agalactiae infections have broken out in cultured tilapia farms in China, resulting in considerable economic losses. Screening of the surface proteins is required to identify virulence factors or protective antigens involved in piscine S.agalactiae infections ...
Summary Since 2012 Apache Alaska Corporation (Apache) has been issued three successive Incidental Harassment Authorizations (IHA’s) for seismic exploration operations in Cook Inlet, Alaska by the United States National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Prior to this, under the stipulations of a Letter ...
Summary In recent years, the potential impacts from anthropogenic sound on marine life, including from geophysical operations, have received increasing attention and scrutiny from government regulators, environmental non-governmental organizations, fishing associations, media outlets and the public. ...
Pneumatic speargun for spearfishing and method of loading and firing a pneumatic speargun for spearfishing, which speargun comprises a cylinder (1) having a head (10) at its front and a body with a hand grip (11) at its back, having a slide guide (2) for a spear (7) and having a reservoir (3) for a ...
Background Rhynchocypris oxycephalus is a cold water fish with a wide geographic distribution including the relatively warm temperate regions of southern China. It also occurs in second- and third-step geomorphic areas in China. Previous studies have postulated that high-altitude populations of R. ...
Haemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein that is present in the red blood cells of all vertebrates. In recent decades, there has been substantial interest in attempting to understand the structural basis and functional diversity of avian haemoglobins. Towards this end, purification, ...
