We found a loading of 0.71 between heat stress and maternal heat strain (Fig. 4). On the one hand, heat stress was most strongly influenced by solar radiation (0.55), air temperature (0.45), and relative humidity (0.46). Factor loadings were relatively low for black globe temperature (...
Each blood group can be RhD-positive or RhD-negative, resulting in a total of eight blood groups: Table. Various blood types and their blood group antigen and Rh factor Blood typeBlood group antigenRh factor A+ A present, B absent Present A− A present, B absent Absent B+ B present...
In toxicology the need has been the derivation of quantitative estimates of toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic variability to evaluate the suitability of the tenfold uncertainty factor employed in risk assessment decision-making. Consideration of a host of physiologic, ...
key components of TLR and nuclear factor–kappa B signaling pathways such as Bruton’s tyrosine kinase, interleukin 1 (IL-1) receptor–associated kinase 1, IκB kinase γ, cytokine receptors such as IL-9 receptor (IL-9R), IL-2 receptor γ chain (IL-2RG), and IL-13 receptor α1 chai...
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is one of the most widely used probiotic strains. Various health effects are well documented including the prevention and treatment of gastro-intestinal infections and diarrhea, and stimulation of immune responses that pr
A common factor that characterizes most post-partum lamb deaths is the disturbance of bond formation between ewes and their offspring [32]. The glandular area near the mammary gland produces a substance with a yellowish aspect that spreads down the teats. This glandular substrate can dislodge ...

Repeat high hemolysis levels of the donations from same donor can be attributed to a donor factor and are investigated further for the donor characteristics. Other red cells QC parameters in Canada are volume, hematocrit, total hemoglobin, residual leukocyte count and sterility, none of which shed...
