Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and horse (Trachurus trachurus), locally known as kote, are fishery species consumed in Nigeria due to their high nutritional values. This research determined the composition of local dried fish, Scomber scombrus Trachurus trachurus. Results for shows mean value moisture, ash, crude fat, fiber, protein contents percent (%) as: 5.260.00, 5.200.10, 35.600.00, ...

We have developed a primary dissociated cell culture of the fetal (E17) and post-natal (P0-P10) rat auditory cortex. Pyramidal and non-pyramidal cells had a mean cross-sectional diameter of 12.73 +/- 1.80 microns (mean +/- S.D., n = 25) and 17.58 +/- 1.67 microns (mean +/- S.D., n = 10), respectively, measured at 6 days in culture. These cells were viable for as long as 18-21 days. They express...

The purpose of this note is to posit and discuss the concept of "competitive inhibition potential" (CIP), which is an in vivo index of the ability of a competitive inhibitor to elevate plasma concentrations of drug substrates, when the competitive inhibitor is administered at its usual and customary dose.

Tumkur Taluk is located in the southeastern corner of Karnataka state between 13 degrees 06'30'' to 13 degrees 31' 00'' North latitude and 76 degrees 59' 00'' to 77 degrees 19' 00'' East Longitude. The Taluk spreads over an area of 1043 sq.km falling within the semiarid region and frequently facing water scarcity as well as quality problems. The major sources of employment are agriculture, hort...

Sixty-five children with seizure disorders, who had been treated with multiple anticonvulsants but were poorly controlled, were selected from the Montreal Children's Hospital Convulsive Disorder Clinic and Neurology Service and were treated with sodium valproate (valproate). All types of seizure disorders were included in the group. Rapid oral absorption of the drug lead to peak plasma levels i...

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated by concanavalin A, sodium periodate, and neuraminidase plus galactose oxidase. Response to mitogens was measured by the amount of tritiated thymidine incorporated as well as the percent of "giant sheep red blood cell rosettes" generated. The thymidine incorporation was diminished by the absence of monocytes or the presence of corticosteroids. T...

Quantitative scaling into percent signal change is helpful to detect and eliminate “bad” results with abnormal extreme values. While cognitive effects give signal changes on the order of 1% (and larger in the visual and auditory cortices), signal variations of over 10% may arise from motion and other artifacts in the data. Thus, a quantitative check on measured effect size can be used to screen...

in this research psedomonas fluorescens as a probiotic, sodium chloride, plant extract (terminalia catappa), malachite green and formalin as antifungal agents were used daily for 19 days on rainbow trout fertilized eggs in order to compare their survival with untreated fertilized eggs in control group. results showed that the percent of live eggs (eyed) after 19 days treatment with p. fluoresce...
