The Role of E-Cadherin in the Assessment of Esophageal Mucosal Damage in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome by Y. Ya. Shaukovich

“…A positive dependence of E-cadherin concentration in the blood plasma on the apnea/hypopnea index was found (r = 0.43, p <0.05).Conclusions. OSAHS negatively affects the state of histoarchitecture of the esophageal mucosa of GERD patients, as evidenced by an increase in N-terminal E-cadherin in the blood plasma and may indicate a loss of E-cadherin in the esophageal mucosa with the development of an impaired function of tight junctions.…”

Using a Herd Profile to Determine Age-Specific Prevalence of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Michigan Dairy Herds by Ronald J. Erskine, Paul C. Bartlett, Todd M. Byrem, Chelsea L. Render, Catherine Febvay, Jessica T. Houseman

“…In eight herds, we determined the correlation between the BHP, and true herd prevalence by testing the entire lactating herd (r=0.988,  P<0.0001). The BHP allows discrimination of lactation-specific BLV prevalence within a dairy herd, to help identify risk factors and management plans that may be important in transmission of BLV.…”
