BACKGROUND Over the last decade, many advances have been made in laparoscopic techniques in various surgical specialties. The technique of laparoscopic-assisted colectomy (LAC) has been reported since 1992 and has been slowly gaining popularity in the surgical community. Several studies have compared laparoscopic versus open colectomy, assessing its applicability to patients with colon cancer, ...

Reproduction management is one of the important things in a dairy farming business because good reproductive management, along with high capacity, will increase efficiency and productivity livestock. This study aims to determine performance FH cows at first lactation on mating post partus, service per conception, days open, calving interval, coception rate, rate fertility status. The results re...

BACKGROUND Recent developments in perioperative pathophysiology and care have documented evidence-based, multimodal rehabilitation (fast-track) to hasten recovery and to decrease morbidity and hospital stay for several major surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of introducing fast-track principles for perioperative care in unselected patients undergoing open ...

patients and methods the study population consisted of all patients with type iiia gastilo open fractures of tibial shaft, with or without fibula fracture (caused by trauma). after wound irrigation, debridement, and wound swab sampling for microbial culture, all patients received prophylactic antibiotic regimens in fitting with their wound class. no topical antibiotics were used with a 6-month ...

results a total of 43 (12 males and 31 females, with mean age of 41.90 ± 8.64 years) patients underwent minithoracotomy for open lung biopsy. minithoracotomy mortality rate was 0% compared to the 0 - 5.2% reported for thoracoscopy. the mean hospital stay for minithoracotomy was 2.3 ± 0.97 days compared to 4.9 ± 1.53 days reported for thoracoscopy (p < 0.05). the complication rate was 0.05% and ...

A national fertility evaluation was developed based on pregnancy rate, which measures the percentage of nonpregnant cows becoming pregnant within each 21-d opportunity period. Data for evaluation are days open, which are calculated as date pregnant minus previous calving date. Date pregnant is determined from last reported breeding or from subsequent calving minus expected gestation length. Suc...

conclusions acute and chronic administration of ellagic acid had anxiolytic property. also, the most effective dose of ellagic acid was 30 mg/kg. pretreatment with flumazenil reversed the beneficial effect of ellagic acid and diazepam on anxiety. it is likely that the anxiolytic effect of ellagic acid is largely mediated by activation of gabaa receptor. results acute and chronic application of ...

conclusions ip injection of cb1 receptor antagonist might have an anxiogenic profile in rat, whereas calcium channel blocker attenuated the anxiogenic effect of am251. our results suggest that there is an interaction between functions of l-type ca2+ channels and cannabinoid system in anxiety. background the elevated plus-maze (epm) has been broadly used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic ...
