The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo for the characterization of tissue changes associated with acute myocardial rejection after cardiac transplantation. Of 15 dogs that underwent heterotopic cardiac transplantation, six served as untreated controls, and nine received immunosuppressive therapy (25 mg/kg/day cyclosporine, 1 mg/kg/day...

Goal. To study how the content of fusarium grains and products vital activity Fusarium fungus in wheat changes during its storage. establish within what limits number mycotoxins grown Vinnytsia region varies. Methods. Grains with signs were identified samples isolated from average using a magnifying glass (magnification 4.5 times) microscope MBS type 100–150 under sufficient lighting. The prese...

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of synthetic lysine (sLys) on dry matter intake (DMI), average daily weight gain (ADG), dry matter conversion ratio (DMCR), carcass characteristics and economics of productionof finisher broiler chicks. As 240 day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed to 12 pens of 20 chicks each and assigned to four treatment rations in ...

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of providing concentrate at different times on success artificial insemination in limousin crossbred cow. The material used cows as many 45 cows, 15 each treatment, cattle between 1,5-6 years old, (BCS) 4-6 (standard 1-9). Methods: research method uses experimental field trials. Data analyzed Completely Randomized Block Design (RCBD), grouping b...

BACKGROUND Leonotis nepetifolia Linn (Lamiaceae) is used in traditional medicine for its calming (tranquilizing) effects. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is any scientific justification for this use. To achieve this purpose, we investigated the behavioural effects of the methanol extract of Leonotis nepetifolia stem (37.5, 75 and 150 mg/kg) in mice. METHODS Acute toxicity...

Essential amino acids such as methionine have been increasingly included into diets of lambs. However, few studies have determined the effects of methionine supplementation in the general performance and economic returns of lamb production. To address this question, 21weaned male Rahmani lambs were allotted to 3 dietary treatments: control diet (C), control diet plus 3.30 g of methionine/kg con...

Most plantations of cactus pear are not irrigated in Morocco and fruits tiny. The impacts irrigation during flowering (FLO) fruit growth (FRG) on yield quality were monitored along two years three varieties pear. In 2011, treatments were: T1 (0 mm), T2 (30 mm FLO 30 FRG) T3 FRG only). 2012, increased to 60 FRG. applied 8 (T3) or 16 (T2) watering, once every days. Interactions between significan...

BACKGROUND Myocardial T1, T2 and T2* imaging techniques become increasingly used in clinical practice. While normal values for T1, T2 and T2* times are well established for 1.5 Tesla (T) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), data for 3T remain scarce. Therefore we sought to determine normal reference values relative to gender and age and day to day reproducibility for native T1, T2, T2* mapp...

BACKGROUND Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women experience higher rates of heart disease and type 2 diabetes than non-Indigenous Australian women. Increasing physical activity, improving diets and losing weight have been shown to reduce cardio metabolic risk. The primary aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week structured exercise and nutrition program in a cohort of urban Indi...

nitrogen is one of the most limiting nutrients for cereal production in many parts of iran. the effects of crop residue incorporation [0 (control), 25 and 50% of wheat (triticum aestivum l.)] and nitrogen (n) levels (0, 150, and 300 kg ha-1) on corn (zea mays l.) grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency were investigated at agricultural research station, shiraz university, shiraz, iran for two y...
