COMMON RISK FACTORS FOR URINARY HOUSE SOILING (PERIURIA) IN CATS AND ITS DIFFERENTIATION: THE SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY OF COMMON DIAGNOSTIC SIGNS

Common Risk Factors for Urinary House Soiling (Periuria) in Cats and Its Differentiation: The Sensitivity and Specificity of Common Diagnostic Signs

Urinary house soiling (periuria) in the home is a common but serious behaviour problem in cats.Although many specific risk factors and triggers have been postulated, their importance is largely unknown.This study assessed: (1) the significance of purported risk factors for periuria as well as specifically marking and latrine behaviour in the home;

A synergistic triad of chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and caloric restriction mimetics eradicates tumors in mice

We have recently shown that chemotherapy with immunogenic cell death (ICD)-inducing agents can be advantageously combined with fasting regimens or caloric restriction mimetics (CRMs) to achieve superior tumor growth control via a T cell-dependent mechanism.Here, we show that the blockade of the CD11b-dependent extravasation of myeloid cells blocks

Characterization of testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like) gene and expression patterns in diploid and triploid Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai; Gastropoda; Mollusca) males.

Testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 1-like (TSSK1-like), which plays important roles in late-phase spermatogenesis and male fertility, was Non-contact testers characterized in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai, an important commercial marine gastropod.Further, its expression patterns were assessed in diploid and induced triploid males show
