Abstract Livestock excrements are used as natural fertilizer, in the form of manure or slurry, to provide nutrients and organic matter arable soils. However, it is potentially contaminated with antibiotics residues, livestock farming prevent diseases (and thus animal losses), well increase animals’ body weight. This poses a contamination risk surrounding environments. Therefore, we quantitative...

One hundred fifty weaned 22 old an initial weight 5.56 kg were allotted pens based on BW in completely randomized block design one three treatment diets: T1, negative control; T2, colistin (10 mg/kg); T3, mann...

Grain β-glucan content is the most important attribute for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) varieties destined for the human food market. This trait is important because of the blood glucose and cholesterol-reducing properties of β-glucans. High levels of grain protein content, test weight, and seed size and endosperm color may also add value. Seed yield potential, in part, determines the economic f...

This study examined the relationship between birth weight and growth performance when suckling piglets were reared in litters standardized by birth weight. Forty-four gilts (Landrace × Large White) due to farrow during the same week were selected. Piglets born to those gilts were individually weighed at birth and cross-fostered to obtain litters with 11 piglets and standardized birth weight (CV...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is the third most popular bariatric procedure worldwide. Various authors present ambivalent long-term follow up results. METHODS We revised records of the patients who underwent LAGB between 2003 and 2006 along with history of additional check-ins.

Integrin ανβ3 plays a major role in various signaling pathways, cell apoptosis, and tumor angiogenesis. To examine the functions and roles of ανβ3 integrin, a stable CHO-677 cell line expressing the murine ανβ3 heterodimer (designated as "CHO-677-mανβ3" cells) was established using a highly efficient lentiviral-mediated gene transfer technique. Integrin subunits αν and β3 were detected at the g...

BACKGROUND Annually, 35-40% of those aged >65 years fall; up to 5% of such falls result in fracture. Fracture is determined both by propensity to fall and by bone fragility. AIM To determine osteoporosis prevalence and predictors in patients who have fallen. DESIGN Observational cross-sectional study. METHODS We measured calcaneal BMD in 408 consecutive patients aged >50 years attending a...

BACKGROUND Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) has long been considered as the bariatric procedure with the highest peri-operative and long-term complication rate. However, modern peri-operative care, including laparoscopic and staged-approach, has significantly reduced the complication rate related to this procedure. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of the...
