BACKGROUND Greyhounds frequently have laboratory values that are outside reference intervals established for dogs. Our recognition of increased serum creatinine concentrations in several Greyhounds posed a problem when evaluating a Greyhound with suspected renal disease. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare serum creatinine concentrations between Greyhound and non-Greyhound dogs...

In this paper, we establish a new asymptotic expansion related to the Wallis ratio. By using exponential Bell polynomials, show that coefficients of can be recursively determined. addition, an explicit expression for is given. Our results improve and generalize existing ones [1].

BACKGROUND As very strong agreement has been reported between bispectral index (BIS) values measured from the occipital and frontal skull areas, we compared BIS values measured from central and parietal areas with those from frontal area to investigate whether BIS is really a topographically dependent or topographically independent variable. METHODS Twenty patients, ASA I-II, non-obese, aged ...

PURPOSE To determine prevalence of heel strike in a midsize city marathon, if there is an association between foot-strike classification and race performance, and if there is an association between foot-strike classification and gender. METHODS Foot-strike classification (forefoot, midfoot, heel, or split strike), gender, and rank (position in race) were recorded at the 8.1-km mark for 2112 r...
