Cyanosis is very frequently observed in patients receiving sulfanilamide therapy. This cyanosis seems to be almost generally attributed to sulfhemoglobinemia or methemoglobinemia, though few writers have actually identified these derivatives in cyanotic patients. Colebrook and Kenny (1) in an early report, stated that three of thirty-eight patients developed sulfhemoglobinemia, as shown by spec...

background low-cost anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (asbr), which is widely used for controlling high-organic wastewater, is an effective method to remove chemical oxygen demand (cod). objectives the main objectives was evaluating the feasibility of using asbr in the treatment of synthetic dairy wastewater, determining its removal efficiency, and assessing the effect of temperature on operat...

Ozone as an ignition promoter was used to study the detonation limit behavior in small, round tubes. Experimentally, cellular structures and velocity deficits of fuel-oxygen mixtures with without 3000 PPM ozone were measured tubes 32 6 mm inner diameter. Both hydrogen-oxygen methane-oxygen tested. The addition reduces cell size extends transition spinning lower initial pressures. addition, howe...

Although the blue light photoreceptors cryptochromes mediate expression of genes related to reactive oxygen species, whether cryptochrome 1a (cry1a) regulates local and long-distance signaling water deficit in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is unknown. Thus cry1a mutant its wild-type (WT) were reciprocally grafted (WT/WT; cry1a/cry1a; WT/cry1a; cry1a/WT; as scion/rootstock) or grown on their ...

Introduction: Prolonged and intermittent oxygen pre-exposure is associated with protection against ischemic reperfusion (IR) injury. In the current study, attempts were made to investigate the relationship between exposure to prolonged and intermittent normobaric hyperoxia (NBHO) and expression of excitatory amino acids transporters (EAATs) and TNF-α level. Method: Rats were divided into fo...

Air-breathing animals diving to forage can optimize time underwater by diving with just enough oxygen for the projected performance underwater. By so doing they surface with minimal body oxygen levels, which leads to maximal rates of oxygen uptake. We examined whether imperial cormorants Phalacrocorax atriceps adhere to this by examining dive:pause ratios in birds diving for extended, continuou...

The content of meals consumed after exercise can impact metabolic responses for hours and even days after the exercise session. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of low dietary carbohydrate (CHO) vs. low energy intake in meals after exercise on insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism the next day. Nine healthy men participated in four randomized trials. During the control tri...

In this study, the joint effects of developmental stage and soil water availability on biomass accumulation, harvest index, as well essential oil content, yield composition were investigated in Thymus armeniacus. For comparison purposes, kotschyanus was also considered. Plants irrigated to either 75 or 50% field capacity, sampled at 50 100% blooming. both species, deficit exerted limited effect...

BACKGROUND The authors demonstrated previously that isoflurane-nitrous oxide anesthesia attenuates performance improvement on an already-learned spatial memory task and that the effect persists for weeks. This experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that learning of new information is particularly susceptible to prolonged disruption after general anesthesia. METHODS Six- (n = 5) and 20...
