BACKGROUND Actual body weight (ABW) is important for accurate drug dosing in emergency settings. Oftentimes, patients are unable to stand to be weighed accurately or clearly state their most recent weight. OBJECTIVE Develop a bedside method to estimate ABW using simple anthropometric measurements. METHODS Prospective, blinded, cross-sectional convenience sampling of adult Emergency Departme...

Newborn weight exceeding 4000 g or 4500 is considered as macrosomia, incidence of which varies from 6 to 10% all deliveries. Maternal diabetes, obesity, age >35 years, male baby, history previous multiparity are few risk factors. It associated with several maternal and neonatal complications presents an obstetric challenge there no consensus regarding the most appropriate route delivery for ...

background and objectives: soybean is one of the plants that need large amounts of nitrogen for grain yield production. todays bio-fertilizers are considered as a best replacement for chemical nitrogen to increase soil fertility and sustained agricultural production. meanwhile, the use of soybean symbiotic bacteria and nitroxin, which contain the most effective nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the g...

Abstract This project aimed to develop nutritional strategies “hold” pigs at no growth for 2-6 weeks during crisis management. Previously, was reduced in 25-kg fed hold-growth (HG) diets formulated with nutrients +2%NH4Cl (HG+2). Recovery only monitored 11-days. The current experiment assessed HG+2 25, 50, and 75kg 28-days followed by recovery market weight. Eighty crossbred were allotted (20kg...

Extraction parameters of flavonoids from Ipomoea batatas leaf (FIBL) and anti-diabetic activity of FIBL on alloxan induced diabetic mice were studied. The optimal extraction parameters of FIBL were obtained by single factor test and orthogonal test, as follows: ethanol concentration 60 %, ratio of solvent to raw material 30, extraction temperature 75 degrees and extraction time 1.5 h, while ext...

A dynamic model for nematode parasites in lambs which links their adult parasite burden with liveweight gain was extended to investigate alternate grazing with cattle to provide relatively larval-free pasture for finishing lambs. Liveweight performance of weaned lambs was tracked fortnightly under rotational grazing using three cattle:sheep ratios, with three initial parasite burdens and two in...

In India, leopards (Panthera pardus fusca) inhabit human-dominated landscapes, resulting in encounters that require interventions to prevent harm to people, as well as the leopards. Immobilization is a prerequisite for any such intervention. Such emergency field immobilizations have to be carried out with limited tools, often amidst large uncontrollable crowds. An effective and practicable appr...

The prevalence of synthetic chemicals in our environment that are capable of mimicking the female hormone estrogen is a growing concern. One such chemical, bisphenol A (BPA), has been shown to leach from a variety of resin-based and plastic products, including dental sealants and food and beverage containers, in concentrations that are sufficient to induce cell proliferation in vitro. The respo...

BACKGROUND Factor Xa and factor IIa (thrombin) play roles in thrombotic complications after percutaneous coronary intervention. M118 is a novel low-molecular-weight heparin that has been rationally designed to capture the desired attributes of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low-molecular-weight heparin: Potent activity against factor Xa and IIa, predictable pharmacokinetics after both intrave...
