The effects of equivalent doses of atropine and hyoscine following oral and i.m. administration were assessed on salivary secretion, heart rate, arterial pressure, body temperature, pupillary size, near-point of vision and sweat-gland activity. The ratio of oral to i.m. doses of atropine on heart rate and salivary secretion appears to be 2:1 and that of hyoscine on salivary secretion about 5-6:...

The respiratory effects of etomidate 0.3 mg/kg were studied in patients premedicated with either diazepam and atropine or papaveretum and hyoscine. The incidence of apnoea was 40% in those who received the non-narcotic premedication, compared with 27% in those who received the opiate. Those premedicated with diazepam and atropine showed a significant increase in respiratory frequency which was ...

I. The object was to investigate the importance of urea as a source of ammonia in the large intestine of herbivores. Urea was present in small intestinal contents of slaughtered horses in concentrations similar to those in blood but, in the small intestine of slaughtered sheep, the urea was less than in blood. 2. There was little ammonia in small intestinal contents of slaughtered horses but co...

this study was conducted to compare the effect of various commercial in-feed disinfectants on layer performance, intestinal microflora, and egg cholesterol. one hundred and eight layer hens (lsl, 24 wks of age) were divided into six groups consisting: control, formaycin-200 ppm, formalin-200 ppm, and nanosilver in feed-15 ppm or drinking water-7.5 ppm. there were no differences between experime...

background :  the aim of this paper was to study the prevalence and intensity of anisakids lar­vae in the long tail tuna fish captured from iranian shores of persian gulf. methods : different organs including skin, abdominal cavity, stomach and intestinal contents, stom­ach sub serous tissues, liver, spleen, gonads and 20 grams of muscles of 100 long tail tuna fish ( thannus tonggol ) caught fr...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of substrate to inoculum ratio (S/I ratio) on the biochemical methane potential (BMP) and anaerobic biodegradability (Ddeg) of different piggery slaughterhouse wastes, such as piggery blood, intestine residue, and digestive tract content. These wastes were sampled from a piggery slaughterhouse located in Kimje, South Korea. Cumulative methane produ...

In investigations upon the alteration of the intestinal microflora of chickens by antibiotics added as supplements to rations, an important problem is the enumeration and identification of the coliform group of bacteria in intestinal contents. The importance of the coliform group in the chick's intestinal contents was demonstrated by Rhodes et al. (1954) in studies upon the vitamin-sparing effe...
