In developing countries, foetal wastage from slaughtered ruminants and the associated economic losses appear to be substantial. However, only a limited number of studies have comprehensively evaluated these trends. In the current study, secondary (retrospective) and primary data were collected and evaluated to estimate the prevalence of foetal wastage from cattle, sheep and goats slaughtered at...

background: in the present study the amount of requested blood products in major departments of imam reza medical center, kermanshah, iran has been studied to evaluate the necessity of these requests and also the amount of blood products wastage because of unnecessary requests. materials and methods: in the present study the information related to 4832 unit of requested blood products from iran...

OBJECTIVES Blood component waste is an important issue at all hospitals. As an initiative of the patient blood management program at a regional health care system, the causes and extent of blood product wastage were identified, and targeted interventions to effect a reduction were implemented. METHODS Multiple low-cost interventions, including educational outreach, print and digital messaging...

Tungsten fiber-reinforced tungsten composite (Wf/W) material is considered a plasma-facing (PFM) with good application prospects. Commercial wire (fiber) prepared through forging and drawing processes has excellent mechanical properties, as well very high recrystallization temperature due to the unique texture of it grain structure. fiber most proper reinforcement for Wf/W. The change in proper...

Hereditary macrothrombocytopenia is a hallmark of Wistar Furth (WF) rats. In addition, a platelet/megakaryocyte alpha granule defect, similar to that of patients with gray platelet syndrome, is present. Several observations indicate cytoskeletal abnormalities in WF platelets and megakaryocytes, suggesting the potential for functional defects in hemostatic processes requiring cytoskeletal reorga...

In code division multiple access (CDMA), orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes are used to allocate vacant codes when new calls arrive. In this paper, integration is done for allocation of OVSF codes when a quantized or non-quantized call arrives, and further, the voice calls and data calls are treated differently as former are delay sensitive and later can be stored in buffer. Voic...

There is disagreement internationally across major regulatory jurisdictions on the relevance and utility of whole food (WF) toxicity studies on GM crops, with no harmonization of data or regulatory requirements. The scientific value, and therefore animal ethics, of WF studies on GM crops is a matter addressable from the wealth of data available on commercialized GM crops and WF studies on irrad...

Woodfordia fruticosa dried flower (WF-EE). WF-EE exhibited significant and dose dependent bronchoprotective, bronchodilatory and antiinflammatory effect. WF-EE at 200 mg/kg prolonged the latent period and exhibited protection against experimental asthma induced by the combination of histamine and acetylcholine aerosol in guinea pigs. WF-EE (1 mg/ml) exhibited 100 % bronchodilation (complete bro...

A pharmacokinetic study of the warfarin (WF) : arabinogalactan (AG) complex with the 1 : 10 mass ratio after its intragastric introduction to Wistar rats at a dose of 5 mg/kg (WF dose in the complex was 0.5 mg/kg) once a day for three days was conducted. It was found that Cmax, T1/2, and AUC of WF in the complex form were lower than after the introduction of blank WF at the same dose, but its e...
