AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of seed oil of Caragana korshinskii Kom. against Trichophyton mentagrophytes on an in vivo guinea pig model of dermatophytosis. METHODS The skin of albino guinea pigs was infected with T. mentagrophytes, and the animals were divided into five groups: negative control (NC group), positive control (PC group), vehicle control, CK50% gro...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding essential oils to the diet of weaned pigs on performance, nutrient utilization, immune response and intestinal health. A total of 96 weaning pigs (8.37±1.58 kg) were allotted to one of three dietary treatments. The treatments consisted of an unsupplemented basal diet (negative control, NC) or similar diets supplemented with 0.01%...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of commercial herbal and chemical medicines on growth performance, serum lipids, intestinal selected bacterial population and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. in this study, 450 day-old female broiler chickens (arian strain) were divided into 10 treatments with three replicates of 15 chicks per replicate. on day 14 of the experiment,...

Negative capacitance (NC) field-effect transistors have great potential as next-generation low-power due to their ability overcome the Boltzmann limit. However, fundamental physical mechanism of negative has not yet been clarified. This paper investigates thermodynamic driving force transient NC in series circuit a resistor and ferroelectric capacitor (R–FEC). We find that widely applied Landau...

Negative capacitance (NC) in a planar W-doped VO2 micro-switch was observed at room temperature in the low-frequency range 1 kHz-10 MHz. The capacitance changed from positive to negative values as the W-doped VO2 active layer switched from semiconducting to metallic state under applied voltage. In addition, a capacitance-voltage hysteresis was observed as the applied voltage was cycled from -35...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of xylo-oligosaccharide and xylanase supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, nutrient digestibility, intestinal histology broilers. Six hundred day-old chicks (ROSS-308) were divided into four experimental groups (i.e. T1, T2, T3, T4). Each unit had six replicates 25 chicks/replicate. Following treatments offered:...

Schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are two of the most frequent mental disorders. These disorders exhibit similar psychotic symptoms, making diagnosis challenging leading to misdiagnosis. Yet, network complexity changes driving spontaneous brain activity in SZ BD patients still unknown. Functional entropy (FE) is a novel way measuring dispersion (or spread) functional connectivities i...

BACKGROUND In a retrospective study of Southwestern Oncology Group (SWOG)-S8710/INT-0080 (radical cystectomy [RC] alone vs 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy [NC] with methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin before RC for bladder cancer), factors found to be associated with improved overall survival (OS) included pathologic complete response, defined as P0; treatment with NC; co...
