This study examined pig carcasses buried at two different depths, 30 and 60 cm, to determine if insects were able to colonize buried carcasses, when they arrive at each depth, and what fauna were present over seven sampling dates to establish an insect succession database on buried carrion in East Lansing, MI. Thirty-eight pigs were buried, 18 at 30 cm and 20 at 60 cm. Four control carcasses we...

plant performance and freshness is related to the pattern of its root growth development, which is highly affected by the water amount and water use management. therefore, the spatiotemporal variation of maize root under five treatments including full irrigation treatment (fi), partial root-zone drying treatments at two levels (receiving 75% of et =prd75, and 55% of et= prd55) and deficit irrig...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Aerobic exercise reduces liver fat and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). However, there is limited data from randomized trials to inform exercise programming recommendations. This study examined the efficacy of commonly prescribed exercise doses for reducing liver fat and VAT using a randomized placebo-controlled design. METHODS Inactive and overweight/obese adults received 8 w...

We examined the separate and combined effects of plasma osmolality and baroreceptor loading status on postexercise heat loss responses. Nine young males completed a 45-min treadmill exercise protocol at 58 ± 2% V̇o2 peak, followed by a 60-min recovery. On separate days, participants received 0.9% NaCl (ISO), 3.0% NaCl (HYP), or no infusion (natural recovery) throughout exercise. In two additiona...

Introduction It is well-known that exposure to an enriched environment (EE) can induce plastic changes in the hippocampus and improves learning and memory in hippocampus-dependent tasks. The commonly used techniques in the previous studies on the effects of EE on brain include behavioral tests, electrophysiological recording, microdialysis and morphological evaluations of neurons and synapses. ...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate with light microscopy the healing process of third-degree burns on diabetic rats treated with polarized light (λ400-2000 nm, 20 or 40 J/cm(2)/session, 40 mW/cm(2), 2.4 J/cm(2)/min, 5.5-cm beam diameter). BACKGROUND Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus causes severe disruption of the body's metabolism, including healing. Polarized light sources have been sho...
