A total of 200 faecal samples, received between January and December 2004 from patients with acute diarrhoea, were of patients with acute brucellosis (69 families) who were referred to Boo-Ali Hospital (Southeast Iran) were enrolled in this study and serologically screened for brucellosis using the standard agglutination test (SAT). Titer of 160 or more was considered positive and diagnostic Ti...

A 21-day-long experiment was performed on 160 one-day-old “Ross" broiler chicks. This research was done with the aim of investigating pathomorphological changes in broilers exposed to a relativly small amount of T-2 toxin (2 ppm) and the possibility of prevention and/or alleviating adverse effects of T-2 toxin using various feed additives. Pathohistological examination showed negative consequen...

BACKGROUND Two healthcare innovations were successfully implemented using different implementation strategies. First, a Short Stay Programme for breast cancer surgery (MaDO) was implemented in four early adopter hospitals, using a hospital-tailored implementation strategy. Second, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programme for colonic surgery was implemented in 33 Dutch hospitals, usi...

beta-carotene is a carotenoid and known as the most famous natural pigment. microalgae are the most important sources for beta-carotene production. due to the high sterilization cost of pure culture, in this study for the first time, growth, amounts of beta-carotene and chlorophyll in caspian sea microalgae under nutrient deficiencies stress, have been measured and compared with pure microalgae...

OBJECTIVE This study looks to compare the antidepressant efficacy and safety of a standardized extract of St John's wort with both placebo and fluoxetine. METHOD After a 1-week single-blind washout, patients with major depressive disorder diagnosed by Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition were randomized to 12 weeks of double-b...

in order to study the qualitative, quantitative characteristics of a pure common populus alba stand in polkalleh & a mixed stand of populus alba & populus nigra in karchegan, two 30-year-old stands were selected with a plantation interval ( spacing) of 2.5 × 1.5 m in each of which 30 pcs of 2 are samples were randomly selected. in each sample pc all the trees diameters were measured using a dia...

Citrus processing waste (CPW) pretreated under different times, pH and temperatures was investigated. Pretreatments at 160 degrees C for longer than 4 min with steam purging were needed to remove limonene, an inhibitor for fermentation, to below 0.1%. While hemicelluloses were solubilized well following all pretreatments at 160 degrees C, just 70% of the pectin was solubilized in natural CPW co...

mean values for Po2 of 58, 60, and 72 mm Hg, respectively, were found for the three groups. When the same patients breathed oxygen via a nasal cannula or face mask at flow rates of 8 to 12 L/min, values were 106, 128, and 160 mm Hg, respectively. In all instances hemoglobin saturation values in excess of 95% were obtained when the patient breathed oxygen. In 15 patients measurements of the oxyg...

Measurements have been made of ultrasonic shear wave attenuation and sound velocity in highly textured polycrystalline samples of Bi~SrzCaCuzOs+,in magnetic fields up to 9 telsa and at temperatures down to 4.2 K. Magnetic field dependent attenuation peaks and velocity enhancements were found that are in good agreement with theoretical predictions based on the assumptions of the thermally assist...

The experimental results published before May 2021 from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides of Z=59 Z=75, 160Pr, 160Nd, 160Pm, 160Sm, 160Eu, 160Gd, 160Tb, 160Dy, 160Ho, 160Er, 160Tm, 160Yb, 160Lu, 160Hf, 160Ta, 160W, 160Re in A=160 mass chain have been reviewed. These data are summarized presented, together with adopted level schemes properties. This work is intended supe...
