Experimental Aluminium Horse-Shoes

Interaction of aluminium citrate with horse spleen ferritin.

Horse spleen ferritin was found to bind aluminium poorly after equilibrium dialysis with buffered aluminium citrate solutions. Not more than 10 aluminium atoms/ferritin molecule were bound from a 25 microM-aluminium solution, pH 7.4, and the degree of binding was dependent on the method used to prepare the aluminium citrate solution. Up to 120 aluminium atoms/molecule were bound when ferritin i...

Experimental aluminium encephalopathy: quantitative EEG analysis of aluminium bioavailability.

Single oral doses of aluminium hydroxide (50 to 200 mg/kg) were found to induce in mice a dose-dependent diminution of the power of the 7.5 to 12 Hz frequency band, with a parallel dose-dependent increase of aluminium content in the brain, as early as 45 min after administration, and indicated that aluminium hydroxide is readily absorbed through an empty stomach or duodenum and is able to induc...

Cecal Cannulation in Horse; an Experimental Study

Background: In order to analyze the cecum-colon ecosystem and the treatment of the cecal impaction and hindgut acidosis, cecal cannulation is needed. It is essential to select a simple, fast and inexpensive cecal cannulation method. Because of different complications in general anesthesia, the standing surgery is known as a better option for the horse emergency surgery. Objective: The objective...

Experimental Study of Sable Crack Growth in Thin Aluminium Sheet

Recent failure information from research teams in NASA Langley and others has shown that CTOA based fracture models calibrated on large C(T) and M(T) specimens can be transferred successfully to cracked aircraft fuselage structures for the assessment of their residual strength. A major difficulty that could limit the more extensive use of this failure parameter is its experimental measurement e...
