for induction of ruminal acidosis, 10 clinically healthy three years old non pregnant female sheep were selected. prior to the infusion of sucrose (0 hour), rumen and blood samples were obtained in order to determine baseline rumen and blood ph, respectively. electrocardiogram (ecg) was also recorded. acute ruminal acidosis was induced experimentally with sucrose at a dose of 18g kg-1 body weig...

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...

recent studies in animal models indicate that recombinant human erythropoietin (rhepo) is very effective in enhancing neurological recovery after spinal cord injury (sci). we aimed to evaluate the effect of rhepo plus methylprednisolone sodium succinate (mpss) compared to mpss alone to improve neurological function of patients after sci in a randomized clinical trial. during a 15-month period 3...

in this study the impact of freezing rate and degree of pre-fermentation on sangak frozen dough and its bread was assessed. the pre-fermentation was between zero and 120 min and the corresponding secondly fermentation was between 120 and 0 min, respectively, to obtain total fermentation time of 120 min. the pre-fermentation dough was formed in flat shape and frozen under -20, -25 and -30 °c. it...
