Fertility factors in lactating rabbits mated 24 hours and 25 days after parturition

Safe orthotopic transplantation of hearts harvested 24 hours after brain death and preserved for 24 hours

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to demonstrate safe orthotopic transplantation of porcine donor hearts harvested 24 hours after brain death and preserved for 24 hours before transplantation. DESIGN Circulatory normalization of brain dead (decapitated) pigs was obtained using a new pharmacological regimen (n = 10). The donor hearts were perfused at 8 °C in cycles of 15 min perfusion follo...

Effects of lactation on fetal survival and development in rabbit does mated shortly after parturition.

Primiparous rabbit does were mated within 12 h after parturition (d 0). They were immediately weaned (Group W; n = 31) or allowed to suckle 10 young rabbits (Group L; n = 32). Blood samples were collected at d 0, 7, 17, and 28. Feed intake and live weight were measured weekly and pregnant does (Group W, n = 24; Group L = 25) were slaughtered at d 28. Feed intake was 78% higher in L than in W fe...

24 hours stay after hip replacement

Background and purpose - The length of stay after total hip arthroplasty has been reduced to 2-4 days after implementing fast-track surgery. We investigated whether a new time-based patient-centered primary direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) treatment protocol in a specialized clinic, with a planned length of stay of about 24 hours, could be achieved in all patients or ...

Correlation of 2 hours and 24 hours creatinine clearance in renal donors after unilateral nephrectomy.

BACKGROUND The kidney performs numerous specialised functions in an effort to maintain constancy of the internal composition of body fluids. AIM This study was done to ascertain the feasibility of estimating creatinine clearance as an outpatient procedure over a 2 hours period instead of doing the study over a 24 hours period. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen renal donors, Twelve females and S...
