Passive transfer of immunity: evaluation of mare colostrum quality and immunogl...
Costa, A.; Bliebernitch, M.; Maerten, C.; Assunção, D.; Vicente, António; Fradinho, M.Ingestion of high quality colostrum at birth is a determinant factor influencing a foal's health. As no antibodies pass through the mare's diffuse epitheliochorial placenta, failure of passive transfer (FPT) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality during the first month of foals’ life. FPT is defined as serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration <400 mg/dl at 24 h of age. Mare's breed, age, nutrition a...
Multicentric Genome-Wide Association Study for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax
Sousa, I.; Abrantes, P.; Francisco, V.; Teixeira, G.; Monteiro, M.; Neves, J.; Norte, A.; Robalo-Cordeiro, C.; Moura-Sá, J.; Reis, E.; Santos, P.Despite elevated incidence and recurrence rates for Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax (PSP), little is known about its etiology, and the genetics of idiopathic PSP remains unexplored. To identify genetic variants contributing to sporadic PSP risk, we conducted the first PSP genome-wide association study. Two replicate pools of 92 Portuguese PSP cases and of 129 age- and sex-matched controls were allelotyped in t...
