The intent of this study was to establish a fecal sampling procedure for the indicator method (IM) to provide digestibility values similar to those obtained by the total collection (TC) method. A total of 24 pigs (52.6 ± 1.5 kg) were fed 1 of 4 diets with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of virginiamycin and phytase (PHY) added to a corn-soybean meal diet with no inorganic P supplement. Pigs were ...

The present work investigates the high temperature oxidation and corrosion behaviour of high entropy superalloys (HESA). A high content of various solutes in HESA leads to formation of complex oxides, however the Cr and Al activities of HESA are sufficient to promote protective chromia or alumina formation on the surface. By comparing the oxidation and corrosion resistances of a Ni-based supera...

Patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) with monosomy 7 are a group of patients with refractory AML who have a very poor prognosis. Therefore, rationally designed new therapies, including metronomic chemotherapy regimen with histidine deacetylase inhibitors (Valporic acid, ATRA) are being investigated as potential treatments for the population of refractory cases of AML. Herein, we repo...

Cr2O3 and Cr2O3–SiO2-TiO2 coatings are deposited on P265GH steel using atmospheric plasma spraying. The influence of silicon oxide—titanium oxide addition the surface morphology coatings, phase composition tribological properties under non-lubricated sliding conditions investigated. SiO2-TiO2 led to formation a more uniform reduce roughness coatings. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies indicated th...

Measurements of the temperature dependence electrical resistance (R) and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) a Cr84.7Re15.3 alloy is reported. The magnetism originates from formation spin-density-wave (SDW) as result nesting between electron hole sheets at Fermi surface (FS). NPD revealed magnetic character SDW to be commensurate (C) with lattice Néel (TN) 560 ± 5K that correlates TN = 585 determi...

introduction: refractory status epilepticus is a life-threatening disease in children wherein seizure movements don't response to first line anti convulsion drugs. this study reviewed risk factors, management and early outcome of children with refractory status epilepticus. methods: patients with refractory status epilepticus admitted in tabriz children's hospital between 2003 and 200...

lamotrigine (ltg), a newly developed antiepileptic drug (aed), is efficacious in treating refractory epilepsy. this study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ltg as add-on therapy in 40 children with refractory epilepsy. the trial was an open-labeled prospective study in children with drug-resistant epilepsy aged <14 years, who had at least 4 seizures per month in spite of recei...

epilepsy is a neurological disease of the central nervous system. it is estimated that about 50-70 million people worldwide suffer from this chronic disorder and 20 to 30% are resistant to conventional anti-epileptic drugs. in the epilepsy therapeutic arena, there is real need for developing novel antiepileptogenesis treatments that offer a way to prevent the onset or the progression of the dis...
