It is well known that intersigmoid hernia (ISH) is a rare condition. Here we describe our experience of laparoscopic surgery for small-bowel obstruction (SBO) due to ISH after sufficient decompression involving long-tube insertion.A 45-year-old woman with no history of abdominal surgery visited our hospital with epigastric pain. She was diagnosed as having SBO and underwent long-tube insertion ...

A significant problem associated with the commercial acceptance of biodiesel is poor oxidative stability. This study investigates the effectiveness of various natural and synthetic antioxidants [a-tocopherol (a-T), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), 2, 5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone (DTBHQ), ionol BF200 (IB), propylgallate (PG), and pyrogallo...

BACKGROUND Adhesion formation is a widely acknowledged risk following abdominal or pelvic surgery. Adhesions in the abdomen or pelvis can cause or contribute to partial or total small bowel obstruction (SBO). These adhesions deter or prevent the passage of nutrients through the digestive tract, and may bind the bowel to the peritoneum, or other organs. Small bowel obstructions can quickly becom...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of long-term supplementation of fat in the diets on the fatty acid composition, chemical, mechanical, and histological properties of tibial bone. Month-old male Japanese quail were fed a basal diet containing either soybean oil (SBO), hydrogenated soybean oil (HSBO), chicken fat (CF), or menhaden fish oil (FO) at 50 g/kg of the diet and m...

Crossbred pigs (n=288) were used to test the interactive effects of dietary fat source and slaughter weight on the fatty acid composition of subcutaneous fat. Pigs were blocked by initial BW (28.1 kg), and, within blocks, pens (8 pigs/pen) were randomly assigned to either grower and finisher diets devoid of added fat (Ctrl) or diets formulated with 5% beef tallow (BT), poultry fat (PF), or soyb...

This study investigated the effects of feeding dairy calves starter diets containing 19% or 22% crude protein (CP) content on a dry matter basis and either supplemented not with soybean oil (SBO, 0 vs. 3%, basis) growth performance, digestibility, urinary nitrogen, purine derivatives (PD) excretion. A total 48 female Holstein (mean 39.8 kg body weight) were randomly distributed to experimental ...

Sea buckthorn (SB) (Elaeagnus rhamnoides (L.) A. Nelson) is rich in flavonoids, phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and phytosterol. Its phytochemicals exhibit various biological activities, such as antioxidant, immunomodulatory anti-carcinogenic activities. SB also helps prevent the development of wrinkles protects skin’s surface from UV rays. The purpose present study was to develo...

The Security Behavior Observatory (SBO) is a longitudinal fieldstudy of computer security habits that provides a novel dataset for validating computer security metrics. This paper demonstrates a new strategy for validating phishing detection ability metrics by comparing performance on a phishing signal detection task with data logs found in the SBO. We report: (1) a test of the robustness of pe...

Abstract Purpose Spina bifida occulta (SBO) is one of the most common congenital spinal deformities. Although many studies have demonstrated influence lumbosacral dysplasia on low back pain (LBP) in young athletes, there been few SBO among people other occupations. The purpose this study to investigate distribution with LBP and classify from perspective lamina development. Methods X-ray films 1...
