COMMON RISK FACTORS FOR URINARY HOUSE SOILING (PERIURIA) IN CATS AND ITS DIFFERENTIATION: THE SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY OF COMMON DIAGNOSTIC SIGNS

Common Risk Factors for Urinary House Soiling (Periuria) in Cats and Its Differentiation: The Sensitivity and Specificity of Common Diagnostic Signs

Urinary house soiling (periuria) in the home is a common but serious behaviour problem in cats.Although many specific risk factors and triggers have been postulated, their importance is largely unknown.This study assessed: (1) the significance of purported risk factors for periuria as well as specifically marking and latrine behaviour in the home;

Efficient separation of strontium ions from aqueous solution by dibenzo-18-crown-6 functionalized resin: Static and dynamic adsorption studies with computational DFT insights

The separation and utilization of radiotoxic 90Sr from liquid nuclear waste streams generated in the nuclear fuel reprocessing is highly desirable and challenging.Herein, we studied dibenzo-18-cown-6 functionalized chloromethyl-polystyrene (CMPS-DB18C6) resin which displays an excellent affinity toward Sr2+ion adsorption from aqueous solution.Adsor

Barriers and facilitators of rendering HIV services by community health workers in sub-Saharan Africa: a meta-synthesis protocol

Introduction In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality.Community healthcare workers (CHWs) worldwide have been reported to be effective in strengthening the HIV programme by providing services such as adherence support, HIV education and safe sex education as part of their roles.
