Studies of biofilms and phenotypic characteristics of Candida fungi by E. M. Lenchenko, N. P. Sachivkina

“…Yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida are causative agents of the infectious pathology of the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, urogenital tracts and skin of mammals, sepsis, and disseminated infection in birds. The search and testing of multilevel algorithms for biofilm identification when exposed to chemotherapeutic and disinfectant drugs for blocking the synthesis or destruction of the intercellular matrix in the development of superficial, deep and systemic candidiasis of animals are relevant for developing and improving diagnostic and antiepidemic measures. …”

RESPONSE OF BROILERS TO DIMETHYLGLYCINE ADDITION TO NORMAL AND LOW-ENERGY DIET ON PHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE AND ANTIOXIDANT STATUS by A. A. Hazaa, H. H. Nafe

“…This study aimed to examine the response of broilers to addition of dimethylglycine (DMG) to the normal and low-energy diet in terms of physiological performance from one day to marketing age (42) days. Birds were fed on two dietary systems: the first bishop feature that included transactions (T1, T2, T3), the first transaction T1 was control without adding (normal diet), the second transaction T2 and the third T3 (adding DMG at 300 and 600 mg/ kg ordinary diet sequential First treatment without adding (T1, T2, T3). 300 and 600 mg/kg low-energy rations, respectively). an improvement (P < 0.05) in favor of the low-energy diet with the addition of DMG at the level of 600 mg / kg feed for ALP enzyme, and a significant improvement (P < 0.05) was observed in the number of lymphocytes in favor of the normal and low-energy diet when adding DMG at the level of 600 mg / kg feed. …”

HISTORY OF HIGHLY PATHOGENIC AVIAN INFLUENZA ERADICATION IN RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN 2016–2017 by M. S. Volkov, V. N. Irza, A. V. Varkentin

“…Further spread of avian influenza over the Russian territory is expected due to the current epidemic situation, the virus persistence in the vectors, maintenance of its viability in the environment and seasonal migrations of the wild birds.  Major threat of the agent introduction comes from the neighbouring East Asia and Far East countries (China, Japan, Korea). …”

Local field potentials in a pre-motor region predict learned vocal sequences. by Daril E Brown, Jairo I Chavez, Derek H Nguyen, Adam Kadwory, Bradley Voytek, Ezequiel M Arneodo, Timothy Q Gentner, Vikash Gilja

“…Neuronal activity within the premotor region HVC is tightly synchronized to, and crucial for, the articulate production of learned song in birds. Characterizations of this neural activity detail patterns of sequential bursting in small, carefully identified subsets of neurons in the HVC population. …”
