Two clinical cases to teach ketone bodies in a PBL-Like strategy

Two Intersting Cases of Foreign Bodies Ingestion

Two intersting cases of foreign bodies ingestion reported. First case who was a mentaly depressed, ingested many needles and bistoury blades. Few of them were fixed in patient's Meckel Diverticulum. A lot of foreign bodies removed by simple extraction transmurally or gastrotomy or intestinal resection. A few of them passed spontaneously by stool. Second case commiting suicide ingested chalky wa...

Clinical and Biochemical Studies on the Basis of Ketone Bodies in Cattle : I. Blood Ketone Bodies in Normal Dairy Cattle

a paradigm shift away from method-wise teaching to strategy-wise teaching: an investigation of reconstructive strategy versus communicative strategy

چکیده: هدف اصلی این مطالعه ی توصیفی تحقیقی در حقیقت تلاشی پساروش-گرا به منظور رسیدن به نتیجه ای منطقی در انتخاب مناسبترین راهکار آموزشی بر گرفته از چارچوب راهبردی مطرح شده توسط والدمر مارتن بوده که به بهترین شکل سازگار و مناسب با سامانه ی آموزشی ایران باشد. از این رو، دو راهکار آموزشی، راهکار ارتباطی و راهکار بازساختی، برای تحقیق و بررسی انتخاب شدند. صریحاً اینکه، در راستای هدف اصلی این پژوهش، ر...

Foreign Bodies: Aspirated or Ingested? A Report of Two Unusual Cases

Introduction: The diagnosis of foreign bodies in the upper aerodigestive tract is usually straightforward but sometimes it can be delayed or the location of esophageal and upper airway foreign bodies can be mistakenly interchanged.  Case Report: We present two interesting cases that caused diagnostic challenges which could have led to serious complications if a greater delay in diagnosis ha...

A novel chemical method for measuring ketone bodies in subclinical ketosis

Backgrounds: Subclinical ketosis can cause greater economic loss due to a lack of clinical symptoms. Objectives: The present study was aimed to design a chemical method for measuring serum ketone bodies in the affected subclinical cows. Methods: Acetoacetate concentrations were measured using a nitroprusside reaction and b-hydroxy butyric acid (BHBA) which was oxidized to acetoacetate using nan...
