Serum calcium and its relationship with immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels in prepartum buffaloes from the Venezuelan humid tropics by Juan Pablo Uzcátegui-Varela, Anacelmira Urbina Andueza, Janeth Caamaño Carrero

“…In contrast, IgG in young females was higher (761.33±21.81 mg/dL) concerning adult buffaloes (735. 83±17.39 mg/dL) with no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between groups for both variables; however, the correlation test indicated that, in first calving buffaloes, the circulating Ca2+ level is negatively associated (r=-0.56) with IgG concentration, a physiological response that was statistically different (p<0.05) concerning multiparous buffaloes (r=0.83). …”

Investigation of deflections and natural vibration frequencies of circular isotropic plates of variable thickness according to the law of square parabola with thickening to the sup... by A. V. Turkov, S. I. Poleshko

“…Korobko only when the ratio of the thickness on the support to the thickness in the center t1/t2 = 55/50 &lt; 1.1 for both support schemes. This is explained by the fact that the dependence (1) is derived for isotropic plates of constant thickness and the distribution of mass unevenly over the entire area of the plate leads to a significant error already at the stage of small difference between the thicknesses to the support and in the center. …”

Immunologic and inflammatory consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection and its implications in renal disease by Hiam Naiditch, Michael R. Betts, H. Benjamin Larman, Moshe Levi, Avi Z. Rosenberg

“…It became increasingly recognized that the immune response was a key mediator of illness severity and that its mechanisms needed to be better understood. Early infection of both tissue and immune cells, such as macrophages, leading to pyroptosis-mediated inflammasome production in an organ system critical for systemic oxygenation likely plays a central role in the morbidity wrought by SARS-CoV-2. …”
