HISTOMORPHOLOGY AND IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY OF A CONGENITAL NEPHROMEGALY DEMONSTRATE CONCURRENT FEATURES OF HERITABLE AND ACQUIRED CYSTIC NEPHROPATHIES IN A GIRGENTANA GOAT (CAPRA FALCONERI)

Histomorphology and Immunohistochemistry of a Congenital Nephromegaly Demonstrate Concurrent Features of Heritable and Acquired Cystic Nephropathies in a Girgentana Goat (Capra falconeri)

Polycystic kidney diseases (PKD) represent frequent congenital and adult nephropathies in humans and domestic animals.This report illustrates an uncommon state of congenital PKD in a girgentana goat (Capra falconeri).A stillborn female goat kid was submitted for postmortem examination and underwent macroscopic and microscopic examination.The kidney

Density-dependence of nestling immune function and physiological condition in semi-precocial colonial bird: a cross-fostering experiment

Abstract Background Nesting in large aggregations provides several important advantages for colonially breeding birds.However, it also imposes certain costs, associated with facilitated pathogen transmission and social stress.The cost-benefit ratio is not similar for all the birds in a colony and it might be mediated by nest density.To investigate

Overview of baryon resonances

The quest to understand the physics of any system cannot be said to be complete as long as one cannot predict and fully understand its resonance spectrum.Despite this, due to the experimental challenge of the required double polarization measurements and the difficulty in achieving unambiguous, model-independent extraction and dea eyewear interpret
