The high lipophilicity of some of the most widely used antiparasitic drugs explains their high partition into milk and the extended persistence of high residual concentrations in milk after treatment. The partition blood-to-milk ratio for different antiparasitic compounds depends on their ability to diffuse across the mammary gland epithelium. ![]() ![]() The prolonged persistence of milk residual concentration of different antiparasitic drugs in lactating dairy animals should be considered before recommending their use (label or extra-label) for parasite control in dairy animals. ![]() ![]() ![]() For-profit colleges commodify social inequalities in education, work, income and wealth.For-profit colleges are a CATEGORY of credentialing.Together with Dana’s review I hope a few things are clear from this book: My major points? Well, Matt Reed also did a great job summarizing them. The only problem with the New York Times review of book #LowerEd is that it should be on the front page of the newspaper. Written by the estimable Dana Goldstein, the review suggests that my big points come through.

I wrote it while becoming a new professor.
