Relationships between somatic cell counts and milk production in dairy cattle
… were analyzed. Relationships between somatic cell count and milk production were determined. A curvilinear relationship between somatic cell count and daily milk yield was shown to exist. The relationship indicated daily milk yield declined more rapidly as somatic cell counts increased from 50 …

Effects of Blood Contamination on Cerebrospinal Fluid Cell Counts, Protein, and D-dimer Concentrations
… total protein (TP) concentration and nucleated cell count (WBC). As hypothesized, in vitro CSF blood contamination resulted in statistically significant (p < 0.01) linear increases in both the CSF TP and WBC with increasing RBC concentration in CSF from sixteen normal dogs. Although increases in …

Explicit Estimates for Cell Counts and Modeling The Missing Data Indicators in Three-Way Contingency Table by Log-Linear Models
… the explicit maximum likelihood estimates for cell counts for three-way cross-classified data. Derivation of explicit cell counts for three-way table with supplementary margins can be obtained by controlling the missingness in third variable and by modeling the missing-data indicators using …

Effectiveness of on-farm screening tests for detection of antibiotic residues and control of mastitis through antibiotic therapy based on somatic cell counts
… from cows in either group whose linear somatic cell count score (SCC) ≥ 5 for the first time during that lactation was culture on blood agar plates to detect mastitis pathogens, and the SCC was determined. Experimental group cows were treated in those quarters with a SCC ≥ 5 while control cows …

Comparative evaluation of the AES-Chemunex lab blender Smasher®, Seward Stomacher®, Interscience Bagmixer® and Pulsifier® on viable cell counts of foods, noise level, ergonomics, and ease of cleaning
… instruments in terms of: 1) Number of viable cell counts/g of ten food types, 2) Noise level of the four instruments ascertained by a) human and b) decibel meter at five feet (1.52 meters) from each instrument, 3) Ease in cleaning the instruments after use, and 4) Ergonomics. Following the ISO …

Coping with HIV-seropositive status: a psychoneuroimmunological perspective
… coping, hopelessness, loneliness, joy, and CDS-cell counts, CD4-cell counts, and the cumulative rate of CD4-cell decline since infection. A survey of needs was included. The sample (n = 27) was significantly more depressed (p < 0.01), angry (p < 0.001), confused (p < 0.05), and lonelier (p < …

Caffeine Supplementation and Moderate Intensity Exercise Modulates the Cytotoxic Lymphocyte Subset (CD+8) in NaIve and Tolerant Individuals
… and caffeine naïve individual’s lymphocyte counts, apoptosis and migration levels. In addition, effects of exercise on post-caffeine ingestion lymphocyte counts, apoptosis and migration levels were determined. It was hypothesized that caffeine would alter the immune system cell counts, but …

Impact of Flow Rate and Water Age on Opportunistic Pathogen Growth: Implications for Water Conservation, Fixture Design, and Policy
… age, plateauing after approximately 6 days at cell counts 20 times higher than influent water with minimal disinfectants. In warm (40 °C) water, most regrowth occurred in the heater tank, reducing the relative growth in the pipes. When cold water with ~1 mg/L chloramine was present, cold-water …

Effects of social context on endocrine function and Zif268 expression in response to an acute stressor in adolescent and adult rats
… partner (p = 0.02). Zif268 immunoreactive cell counts were higher in the arcuate nucleus in both age groups after isolation (p = 0.007) and higher in the paraventricular nucleus of adolescents compared with adults during the recovery phase irrespective of partner familiarity. There was a …

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Investigating the Impact of Bariatric Care and the Role of Immune Function
… whether there are differences in liver immune cells between NAFLD and healthy subjects and whether there are associations with intestinal microbiota (IM). Specifically, the plan was to assess: 1) liver histology post-VLCD and factors associated with NAFLD; 2) the effects of RYGB on liver …

Impact of cryoprotectants during freeze drying on Lactobacillus plantarum viability and their role in enhancing probiotic storage stability
… to confer the desired health benefit. Cell dehydration is used to keep the probiotic microbes in an inactivated form during storage, thereby ensuring that there are enough viable cells still present when the probiotic is taken. However, the drying process itself is detrimental to the …

Variation in fluctuating asymmetry among nine damselfly species.
… wetland. Calculations of their FA were based on cell counts of four venation patterns in fore and hind wings. Significant FA of venation occurred in both sexes, both wing positions, and in each of four venation patterns of all nine species. Levels of FA were not significantly different between …

Intestinal Mucosal Mast Cell Immune Response and Pathogenesis of Two Eimeria Acervulina Isolates in Broiler Chickens
… for morphometric alterations and mucosal mast cell responses. EA1 produced duodenal lesions and reduced villus height to crypt depth ratios when compared to controls; however, no differences were found in mast cell counts. EA2 produced differing results, and observed data were suggestive of an …

Adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy among patients in the Keetmanshoop antiretroviral therapy programme, Namibia
… also showed an increase of median CD4 counts from 126 cells/μl at baseline to 304 cells/μl at 12 months and an increase in body weight from an average of 50kg at baseline to an average of 57kg at 12 months. Adherence levels were found to have an impact on CD4 cell counts and on body …
