Visualization and quantification of intestinal transit and motor function by real-time tracking of 19F labeled capsules in humans.
A combined (19)F and (1)H MRI framework for the assessment of human intestinal transit and motor function is presented. This framework consists of silicone coated polychlorotrifluoroethylene capsules filled with perfluoro-[15]-crown-5-ether as (19)F marker, a flexible (19)F surface coil and a (19)F projection imaging sequence, allowing for real-time tracking of a single or multiple capsules. Th...
متن کاملEffect of different supplements on eggshell quality, some characteristics of gastrointestinal tract and performance of laying hens
This study was performed to investigate the effects of antibiotic, organic acid, probiotic and prebiotic supplementation on performance, egg shell quality, pH value of gastrointestinal (GI) tract and small intestinal morphology of laying hens. The experiment was a completely randomized design with 160 laying hens strain (W-36) from 32 to 42 weeks of age, with five treatments, four replicates an...
متن کاملEffect of long-term oral administration of thyroxine on morphology of the gastrointestinal tract in broiler breeder hens
Published data on 4-week-long administration of extra thyroxine (T4) in broiler breeder hens to alleviate the cold-induced ascites in their offspring suggested that long-term maternal hyperthyroidism would affect the gastrointestinal tract morphology. Broiler breeder hens (n=70) were reared in individual cages and allotted to control and hyperthyroid groups (five replicates of seven ...
متن کاملVery Fast Load Flow Calculation Using Fast-Decoupled Reactive Power Compensation Method for Radial Active Distribution Networks in Smart Grid Environment Based on Zooming Algorithm
Distribution load flow (DLF) calculation is one of the most important tools in distribution networks. DLF tools must be able to perform fast calculations in real-time studies at the presence of distributed generators (DGs) in a smart grid environment even in conditions of change in the network topology. In this paper, a new method for DLF in radial active distribution networks is proposed. The ...
متن کاملGastrointestinal motility during sleep assessed by tracking of telemetric capsules combined with polysomnography - a pilot study.
Studies of gastrointestinal function during sleep are hampered by lack of applicable techniques. Recent development of a novel ambulatory telemetric capsule system, which can be used in conjunction with polysomnography, offers a solution to this problem. The 3D-Transit system consists of ingestible electromagnetic capsules traceable through a portable extracorporeal receiver while traversing th...
