<h3>Background</h3> Increased titres of serum IgM antibodies to GM1 ganglioside are often associated with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). Testing for other antigens including GM2, the mixture and galactocerebroside (GM1/GalC) disulfated heparin disaccharide NS6S were reported increase sensitivity antibody testing in MMN even if it is unclear whether specificity positive (PPV) or negative predictive value (NPV) also affected. <h3>Methods</h3> We measured GM1, galactocerebroside, GM1/GalC...

This study investigated the effect of season on endocrine and adaptive profiles a Brazilian Creole goat population in semi-arid region Brazil during dry rainy season. We considered physiological, morphological, biochemical, haematological, hormonal anatomical profiles. The experiment used 80 adult goats (2- to 5-year-old) lactating (160 ± 14 days lactation length) goats, with an average daily milk yield 500.9 13 g. Physiological parameters (rectal temperature, RT; respiratory rate, RR; heart...
