European fish farming drives the development of sustainable marine fish feed where marine ingredients are replaced by alternatives such as plant meals and vegetable oils. A new scenario emerges where noncurrent and/or new contaminants enter into the fish food chain as potential food safety and/or welfare concerns. Novel analytical methodologies must be developed to assess the large variety of contaminants from different families in feed ingredients, feeds based on these ingredients and fish farmed ...

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the serodiagnosis of Brucella ovis infection was developed. The assay uses a mouse monoclonal antibody to bovine IgG1 horseradish peroxidase (HRPO) conjugate that cross-reacts with immunoglobulin from sheep and a purified antigen from Brucella ovis. The ELISA data were read and analyzed according to a targeting procedure. The ELISA results were compared with a cold complement fixation test (CFT). Sera from 675 rams from three uninfected flocks ...

Current treatment guidelines for HIV infection recommend a relatively late initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Nevertheless, there is still a concern that immune recovery may not be as complete once CD4+ T cells have decreased below a certain threshold. This study addressed the long-term response of CD4+ T-cell counts in patients on HAART and analyzed the influence of baseline CD4+ T-cell counts, baseline viral load, and age. An observational analysis of evolution of CD4+ ...

Background According to the "autovaccination hypothesis," reexposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) during treatment interruptions may stimulate the HIV-specific immune response and lead to low viremia after withdrawal of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) generally presents a low avidity for 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) in PET/CT although an increased FDG uptake seems to relate to more aggressive biological factors. To define the prognostic value of PET/CT with FDG in patients with an HCC scheduled for a tumor resection, forty-one patients were prospectively studied. The histological factors of a poor prognosis were determined and FDG uptake in the HCC lesions was analyzed semi-quantitatively (lean body mass-corrected ...

We have assessed metabolic and immunological effects of a nelfinavir-containing regimen in healthy HIV-1-uninfected individuals receiving post-exposure prophylaxis. Our data suggest that this regimen is well tolerated and did not modify the lipid or hepatic profiles. This antiretroviral regimen seems to have no effect on lymphocyte T cell subsets, however, it could have an immune-modulator role, inducing an increase in the proliferative responses to mitogens.
