Commissioner Johnson names Fekrat as the Chief Counsel from 1 June. Bill Fekrat is a Technical Iig Solution Specialist at IBM based in Armonk, New York. The described method was species-specific and sensitive and provided a rapid diagnostic tool to detect D. In this study, we assessed a technique combining loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) with PCR (PCR-LAMP) for the rapid detection and discrimination of cucumber fruit fly DNA from some other common tephritid species attacking Cucurbitaceae, using material from different stages of development. In such situations, using a quick and robust alternative species diagnostic tool would be valuable. Although cucumber fruit fly adults can usually be identified and distinguished from the other species by morphological keys, it is often difficult or impossible to distinguish this species from the other tephritids that share host plants by using material from other stages of development. This pest is also widespread and highly invasive thus, it is a high priority for pest detection and quarantine programs. The cucumber fruit fly, Dacus ciliatus Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae), ranks as one of the most destructive agricultural pests attacking mainly fruits of Cucurbitaceae.

Changes in the retinal microvasculature may mirror small vessel cerebrovascular changes in AD.Ĭopyright © 2019 American Academy of Ophthalmology. MCI participants showed significantly decreased temporal RNFL thickness (P = 0.04) compared with controls.Īlzheimer's participants showed significantly reduced macular VD, PD, and GC-IPL thickness compared with MCI and controls. Alzheimer's participants showed significantly decreased GC-IPL thickness over the inferior (P = 0.032) and inferonasal (P = 0.025) sectors compared with MCI and significantly decreased GC-IPL thickness over the entire (P = 0.012), superonasal (P = 0.041), inferior (P = 0.004), and inferonasal (P = 0.006) sectors compared to controls. FAZ area and CST did not differ significantly between groups (P > 0.05). There was no difference in SCP VD or PD between MCI and controls (P > 0.05). Foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area, central subfield thickness (CST), macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness, and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were also compared.Īlzheimer's participants showed significantly decreased SCP VD and PD in the 3-mm ring (P = 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively) and 3-mm circle (P = 0.003 and P = 0.004, respectively) and decreased SCP VD in the 6-mm circle (P = 0.047) compared with MCI and significantly decreased SCP VD and PD in the 3-mm ring (P = 0.008 and P = 0.004, respectively) and 3-mm circle (P = 0.015 and P = 0.009, respectively) and SCP PD in the 6-mm circle (P = 0.033) when compared with cognitively intact controls. Vessel density (VD) and perfusion density (PD) in the SCP within the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study 6-mm circle, 3-mm circle, and 3-mm ring were compared between groups. Participants were imaged using Zeiss Cirrus HD-5000 with AngioPlex (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) and underwent cognitive evaluation with Mini-Mental State Examination. Seventy eyes from 39 AD participants, 72 eyes from 37 MCI participants, and 254 eyes from 133 control participants were enrolled.
