The present study aimed to determine the effects of mannoheptulose (MH) (8 mg/kg) on energy expenditure (EE), respiratory quotient (RQ) and glycaemic response in healthy adult Beagle dogs (n 8; 9·62 (sem 0·31) kg; body condition score 4·5). The study was designed as replicated 4 × 4 Latin squares with a 2 × 2 factorial treatment structure. The dietary treatments were low carbohydrate (CHO) rela...

Background: Malignant hyperthermia (MH), a metabolic myopathy triggered by volatile anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants, is a potentially lethal complication of general anesthesia in susceptible patients. The implementation of modern volatile anesthetics that pretend to be less potent trigger substances and the recommended limitations of succinylcholine use are suggesting a considerab...

IMPORTANCE Mental health (MH) conditions are undertreated in late life. It is important to identify treatment strategies that address variability in treatment content and delivery and take individual-specific symptoms into account, particularly among low-income, community-dwelling older adults. OBJECTIVE To evaluate program feasibility and MH outcomes among community-dwelling older adults ran...

Dear Editor, Macular hole (MH) with retinal detachment (RD) predominantly occurs in highly myopic eyes, and is a major vision-threatening complication in pathologic myopia [1]. Treatment of MH with RD results in lower anatomic success rates and poorer functional outcomes than MH without RD. Spontaneous resolution of MH with RD is extremely rare; spontaneous resolution of MH without RD is report...

Exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) and stress-induced malignant hyperthermia (MH) events are syndromes that primarily afflict military recruits in basic training and athletes. Events similar to those occurring in ER and in stress-induced MH events are triggered after exposure to anesthetic agents in MH-susceptible (MHS) patients. MH is an autosomal dominant hypermetabolic condition that occurs in g...

A study was undertaken to determine effect of nutritional value of Melon husk (MH) and Palm oil slurry (POS) on quality of chevon obtained from West African Dwarf (WAD) goats fed finishing diets as follows: diet 1(0% MH, 0% POS); diet 2 (50% MH, 0% POS); diet 3 (0% MH, 50% POS) and diet 4 (50% MH, 50% POS), along with Panicum maximum as basal diet for all dietary treatment groups. After 60 days...

PURPOSE To report the use of anterior lens capsule flap transplantation in two cases with chronic full-thickness macular hole (MH). METHODS Case series. RESULTS Two cases of chronic MH with a new treatment approach were reported. In the first case, a 66-year-old man presented with a chronic idiopathic MH in the left eye for 2 years. Presenting visual acuity was hand motion. The patient unde...

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a hypermetabolic disease triggered by volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine in genetically predisposed individuals. Nine point mutations in the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor (RYR) gene have so far been identified and shown to correlate with the MH-susceptible phenotype, yet direct evidence linking abnormal Ca 2 1 homeostasis to mutations in the RYR1 cDNA h...

Obesity is caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental risks. Disruption in energy balance is one of these risk factors. In the present study, the preventive effect on high-fat diet- (HFD-) induced obesity and insulin resistance in mice by Magnolia bioactive constituent 4-O-methylhonokiol (MH) was compared with Magnolia officinalis extract BL153. C57BL/6J mice were fed by normal d...
