Four feeding trials were conducted to determine (1) how the organophosphate ronnel affects thyroid and adrenal circulating hormone levels and blood profile measurements of beef steers and (2) whether the effects of ronnel observed in beef steers could be produced in growing rats. In trial 1, four groups of eight steers each were given either no ronnel or 4 mg ronnel/kg body weight daily in diet...

This study aim was to evaluate the influence of 37% hydrochloric acid (37% HCl) treatment cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys on metal-ceramic bond strength (MCBS). The specimens were sandblasted with 100-µm aluminum oxide particles and divided into four groups (n = 10) according surface performed: control (C) - no treated HCl for different times: 10 minutes (T1), 20 (T2) 30 (T3). samples submitted ...

To investigate the cerebral protection effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in severe craniocerebral injury rat model. A total of 120 male SD rats were equally randomly divided into DEX group, sham group, and control. Rat acute severe craniocerebral injury model was established using hydraulic blow method. The rats received sedative treatment at 2 h after injury. Rat behavior changes before and afte...

Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a popular aquaculture species, often faces health and growth challenges due to high stocking density. To address these issues, the present study focused on evaluating impact of dietary supplementation performance rainbow using probiotics as well combined with enzymes. Four groups fry, each an average size 1.423±0.002 g, 1.412±0.096 1.451±0.136 g 1.477±0.11...

This experimental study aimed to elucidate the effect of dietary supplementation lauric acid and L-glutamic on production performance carcass characteristics broilers. Day-old broiler chicks (160) were randomly divided into four groups. The fed with diets, such as control diet without antibiotics (T1), + 0.1% (T2), 0.5% glutamate (T3), (T4). experiment was performed for five weeks using standar...

Objective: The aim of this study was to test the survival Macrobrachium tenellum in different confinement conditions with Dormitator latifrons.
 Design/methodology/approach: Using wild specimens acclimated captive both species, three trials proportion were performed treatments consisting presence/absence food and shelters. Prawn/fish for assays were: 15/15 T1, 15/3 T2 10/3 T3. In T1 juveni...

Monoclonal antibodies allow for the detection of antigens which are specific for human thymus-derived lymphocytes. Among these antigens, the T3 complex is of particular interest since it is involved in several T cell functions. The main target antigen of the anti-T3 reagents is borne by a 20-kDa glycoprotein. In addition, glycoproteins of 25-28, 37, and 44 kDa are found in anti-T3 immunoprecipi...

Nine men completed a 24-h exercise trial, with physiological testing sessions before (T1, approximately 0630), during (T2, approximately 1640; T3, approximately 0045; T4, approximately 0630), and 48-h afterwards (T5, approximately 0650). Participants cycled and ran/trekked continuously between test sessions. A 24-h sedentary control trial was undertaken in crossover order. Within testing sessio...

The organism responsible for endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic valve was identified as Nocardia asteroides. The patient was treated with intravenous amikacin (250 mg four times a day) and intravenous imipenem (1.5 g four times a day). The valve was replaced under this new antibiotic regimen. This is the first report of survival after prosthetic valve nocardiosis.
