New Guinea has the world’s richest island flora

Rodrigo Cámara-Leret, +113 more
- 05 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: A catalogue of the vascular flora of New Guinea indicates that this island is the most floristically diverse in the world, and that 68% of the species identified are endemic to New Guinea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methadone maintenance and tuberculosis treatment

TL;DR: Patients also taking rifampicin are likely to experience opiate withdrawal symptoms and may stop their antituberculosis drugs or supplement their methadone prescription with illicitly obtained opiates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and partial characterization of common seal (Phoca vitulina) and grey seal (Haliochoerus grypus) interleukin-6-like activities.

TL;DR: Investigation of the production of biological activity of this cytokine in two species of European seal showed that this activity was not due to residue LPS present in the supernatants or infected plasmas, and was inhibition with both rabbit and goat antisera raised against recombinant human IL-6.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of monoclonal antibodies specific for seal immunoglobulins in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect canine distemper virus-specific immunoglobulin in seal plasma samples.

TL;DR: A method is described for the measurement of antigen-specific immunoglobulin in seal pup plasmas and levels of canine distemper virus (CDV) specific macroglobulin (IgM like protein) were found to peak approximately 10 days after the first vaccination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leucocyte interleukin-1-like activity in the common seal (Phoca vitulina) and grey seal (Halichoerus grypus)

TL;DR: This study showed the production of IL-1-like bioactivity by cultured seal leucocytes by increasing concentrations of lipopolysaccharide, which increased for the first 24 h after LPS stimulation and the substance responsible had an apparent molecular weight of 17 kDa on gel filtration, similar to that described for other species.
