An experiment involving 289 farrowings during a 2-yr period was conducted to determine the effect of increasing dietary nutrient concentration, electrolyte balance, and season of the year on the lactational performance of sows. Experimental diets were corn-soybean meal-based. The basal diet was formulated to meet or exceed the NRC requirements and the high-nutrient diet was formulated to contai...

the development and widespread use of a prophylactic vaccine significantly reduced the incidence of poliomyelitis. at present we more commonly encounter with poliomyelitis sequelae especially in developing countries. we evaluate the results of a modified innominate osteotomy for leg length discrepancy in poliomyelitis. instead of triangular bone graft as in salter’s innominate osteotomy , a tra...

every woman is at risk of ovarian cancer; about 90 percent of women who develop ovarian cancer are above 40 years of age, with the high number of ovarian cancers occurring at the age of 60 years and above. early and correct diagnosis of ovarian cancer can allow proper treatment and as a result reduce the mortality rate. in this paper, we proposed a hybrid of synthetic minority over-sampling tec...

The intensity of free-radical processes in the skeletal muscles rats at different dietary supply with protein and sucrose was studied. It has been established that most pronounced intensification free radical mitochondria is found animals kept on a low-protein/ high-sucrose diet. In particular, generation superoxide anion-radical increases more than 5,3-fold hydroxyl 3,2-fold compared control, ...

Developmental senescence is a coordinated physiological process in plants and is critical for nutrient redistribution from senescing leaves to newly formed sink organs, including young leaves and developing seeds. Progress has been made concerning the genes involved and the regulatory networks controlling senescence. The resulting complex metabolome changes during senescence have not been inves...

INTRODUCTION Month of Ramadan bring many changes in life style, especially the diet of Muslims all over the world among both fasting and nonfasting individuals. Hemodialysis patients are kept on restricted diet because of fluid and electrolytes imbalance. The aim of this study was to compare changes in the clinical and biochemical parameters in fasting and nonfasting hemodialysis patients durin...

introduction: many of those who survive following an earthquake die in the next phase due to preventable and treatable medical conditions such as hyperkalemia. the present study aimed to evaluate the trend of potassium changes in crush syndrome patients of bam earthquake. methods: in this retrospective cross-sectional study, using the database of bam earthquake victims, which were developed by ...

Electrolyte abnormalities are very common problems in clinical practice, and if chronic, their management can be difficult. Hypokalemia, defined as a serum potassium level <3.5 mmol/L, is an exceptionally common electrolyte abnormality encountered in clinical practice; >20% of hospitalized patients have been reported to have some degree of hypokalemia [1]. Hypomagnesemia is also common and has ...
