Abstract Background The role of the willisian collaterals during carotid endarterectomies (CEAs) is a debated issue. aim present work was to test whether an incomplete or non-functional circle Willis (CoW) risk factor for ischemic events CEA. Patients and methods CEAs were performed under local anesthesia. considered symptomatic (SY) if neurological signs appeared after cross-clamping phase. In...

This study evaluated the effects of selenium yeast (SY) on rumen fermentation parameters, bacterial diversity, and expression pathways in goats. A total 18 Qianbei-pockmarked weather goats from Guizhou (body weight, 25.75 ± 1.75 kg; mean standard deviation) were assigned to three groups according a completely randomized design. Control group (CON, n = 6) kids fed basal diet, while treatment 1 (...

The objective was to determine the concentration of total Se and the proportion of total Se comprised as selenomethionine (SeMet) and selenocysteine (SeCys) in postmortem tissues of beef cattle offered diets containing graded additions of selenized enriched yeast (SY; Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3060) or sodium selenite (SS). Oxidative stability and tissue glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) ac...

BACKGROUND Selenium (Se) is important for the postnatal development of the calf. In the first weeks of life, milk is the only source of Se for the calf and insufficient level of Se in the milk may lead to Se deficiency. Maternal Se supplementation is used to prevent this.We investigated the effect of dietary Se-enriched yeast (SY) or sodium selenite (SS) supplements on selected blood parameters...

BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease and is highly prevalent in populations with metabolic conditions such as obesity and type II diabetes. Specific types of Sasang constitution can act as a risk factor for metabolic diseases, but there are no studies addressing the association between the Sasang constitutional types (SCTs) and N...

A runtime environment has been developed to enable the seamless integration of different hardware and software implementation technologies (DSP’s, FPGA’s, ASIC’s). The runtime environment is responsible for the management of dynamic system reconfiguration, including software reconfiguration for the parallel DSP’s and hardware reconfiguration for the FPGA’s in the system. This paper describes th...
