Role of Infection and Immunity in Bovine Perinatal Mortality: Part 2
animals Review Role of Infection and Immunity in Bovine Perinatal Mortality: Part 2. Fetomaternal Response to Infection and Novel Diagnostic Perspectives Paulina Jawor 1,* , John F. Mee 2 and Tadeusz Stefaniak 1 1 Department of Immunology, Pathophysiology and Veterinary Preventive Medicine, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, 50-375 Wrocław, Poland; [email protected] 2 Animal and Bioscience Research Department, Teagasc, Moorepark Research Centre, P61 P302 Fermoy, County Cork, Ireland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Bovine perinatal mortality (death of the fetus or calf before, during, or within 48 h of calving at full term (≥260 days) may be caused by noninfectious and infectious causes. Although infectious causes of fetal mortality are diagnosed less frequently, infection in utero may also compromise the development of the fetus without causing death. This review presents fetomaternal responses to infection and the changes which can be observed in such cases. Response to infection, especially the concentration of immunoglobulins and some acute-phase proteins, may be used for diagnostic purposes. Some changes in internal organs may also be used as an indicator of infection in utero. However, in all cases (except pathogen-specific antibody response) non-pathogen-specific responses do not aid in pathogen-specific diagnosis of the cause of calf death. But, nonspecific markers of in utero infection may allow us to assign the cause of fetal mortality to infection and thus Citation: Jawor, P.; Mee, J.F.; increase our overall diagnosis rate, particularly in cases of the “unexplained stillbirth”.

Biofilms and Biodiversity: an Interactive Exploration of Aquatic
Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2000) 24, 334–338 2000 Society for Industrial Microbiology 1367-5435/00 $15.00 www.nature.com/jim Biofilms and biodiversity: an interactive exploration of aquatic microbial biotechnology and ecology JA Frederick1, D Jacobs2 and WR Jones3 1Maryland Sea Grant Extension Program, Columbus Center, 701 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21202; 2Maryland Sea Grant, 0112 Skinner Hall, College Park, MD 20742; 3Center of Marine Biotechnology, University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, 701 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21202, USA The study of biofilms provides a unique educational opportunity to examine ecosystems, biodiversity and appli- cations of environmental biotechnology. There are many variables that could be studied for measuring the interac- tions between bacterial biofilms and invertebrate biodiversity as a method for assessing the health of aquatic eco- systems. These interactions also lend themselves to an easily replicated model system which can be used to reach a wide audience with an educational opportunity for students as well as a professional development opportunity for teachers. At the foundation of the research are invaluable basic microbiology skills: strain collection, isolation, cultivation and characterization. Through the additional process of characterizing, identifying and enumerating invertebrate organisms that attach to bacterial biofilms in aquatic ecosystems, there evolved a multidisciplinary class laboratory activity that has found broad application. This activity is captivating not only to undergraduate microbiology students but to middle and high school students and their teachers. The demand for information about the activity has led to the development of a truly interactive web-based lesson, which in turn has resulted in additional inquiries and further refinement of the lesson as an undergraduate independent research course. -

Fang,b Editor in Chief, Infection and Immunity Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USAa; Departments of Laboratory on January 3, 2017 - Published by Medicine and Microbiology, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington, USAb ABSTRACT Proposals to improve the reproducibility of biomedical research have emphasized scientific rigor. Although the word “rigor” is widely used, there has been little specific discussion as to what it means and how it can be achieved. We suggest that scientific rigor combines elements of mathematics, logic, philosophy, and ethics. We propose a framework for rigor that includes redundant experimental design, sound statistical analysis, recognition of error, avoidance of logical fallacies, and intel- lectual honesty. These elements lead to five actionable recommendations for research education. igor is a prized quality in scientific work. Although the term is ciple, such as Schrödinger’s cat or Maxwell’s demon in physics, or Rwidely used in both scientific and lay parlance, it has not been entirely experimental, as illustrated by Cavendish’s measurement precisely defined (1). Rigor has gained new prominence amid con- of the gravitational constant at the end of the 18th century. How- mbio.asm.org cerns about a lack of reproducibility in important studies (2, 3), an ever, in the biomedical sciences, most research has both theoreti- epidemic of retractions due to misconduct (4), and the discovery cal and experimental aspects. that the published literature is riddled with problematic images (5). -
