While the reflex influence of selective coronary arterial occlusion on the resistance vasculature has been well delineated, the reflex influence of coronary occlusion on the total capacitance vasculature has not been examined. Thus, selective coronary occlusions were performed in 65 anesthetized dogs. Blood was drained from the vena cavae and returned to the right atrium at a constant rate so t...

The freshwater cladoceran Moina micrura has tremendous potential for mass culture as a live feed larviculture. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics Lysinibacillus fusiformis A1 and Bacillus pocheonensis S2 in enhancing population density, growth rate, production M. under different environmental conditions. Four temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30°C), pH levels (4, 6, 8, 10), photope...

Wood vinegar (WV) by-product of charcoal production is considered one the most promising alternatives to synthetic pesticide and fertilizer applications, especially for organic production. Our goal in this study evaluate efficacy guava (Psidium guajava) WV control Colletotrichum coccodes, which causes black dot disease, how it influences potato plant development yield. This tested against patho...

Šume primorskih ?etinja?a, sa svojom ekološkom, ekonomskom, estetskom i društvenom funkcijom, predstavljaju važan dio europskih šumskih zajednica. Osnovni cilj ovoga rada je usporediti najkorištenije GEOBIA (engl. Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis ) klasifikacijske algoritme Random Trees – RT, Maximum Likelihood ML, Support Vector Machine SVM s ciljem izdvajanja šuma ?etinja?a na visoko-re...

In this work, we have examined the neuromuscular activity of Micrurus laticollaris (Mexican coral snake) venom (MLV) in vertebrate isolated nerve-muscle preparations. In chick biventer cervicis preparations, the MLV induced an irreversible concentration- and time-dependent (1-30 µg/mL) neuromuscular blockade, with 50% blockade occurring between 8 and 30 min. Muscle contractures evoked by exogen...

HYPOTHESIS Presternal subcutaneous autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue after total parathyroidectomy for renal hyperparathyroidism could be at least as effective as intramuscular grafting, without its complications. DESIGN Prospective study of a postoperative diagnostic method of monitoring intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels among a cohort of surgical patients, without loss to fol...

The phenotype of substantia nigra (SN) neurons in homozygous weaver (wv/wv) mice was studied by combining patch-clamp and single-cell RT-multiplex PCR techniques in midbrain slices of 14-d-old mice. In contrast to GABAergic SN neurons, which were unaffected in homozygous weaver mice (wv/wv), dopaminergic SN neurons possessed a dramatically altered phenotype with a depolarized membrane potential...
