Implications of tuberculosis in African wildlife and livestock.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to examine the role of activating pathways of plasminogen in the natural history of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). To fulfill this objective 70 male patients with small AAA (> 3 cm) were interviewed and examined. Their blood samples were taken at diagnosis. The patients were scanned annual...
