Grain-finished, high-percentage Charolais steers (n = 36) were selected for uniformity. Immediately after jugular vein exsanguination, 27 steers were infused at 10% of live weight via the carotid artery with a solution developed by MPSC, Inc. (St. Paul, MN) consisting of 98.52% water, 0.97% saccharides, 0.23% sodium chloride, and 0.28% phosphate blend plus either 500 ppm vitamin C (MPSC+C; n = ...

In the present work, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–NH4NO3 with addition of ethylene carbonate (EC) based polymer blend electrolyte (PBE) was explored. The complexes PBE EC revealed that an interaction –OH and –COO? CMC–PVA dissociation H+ from NH4NO3 provides a flexibility pathway for ion hopping. optimum ionic conductivity at room temperature found to be 3.92 × 10?3 S/c...

This study explains the development of eco-friendly polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/oxidized maize starch (OMS)/Betel leaves extract (BLE) blend films by employing a cost effective technique. The influence BLE on structural, Thermal, Mechanical, Morphological, Optical, Antibacterial and Antioxidant properties PVA/OMS were investigated successfully applying various characterization techniques. hydrogen ...

A large facial vascular malformation was embolized with polyvinyl alcohol particles twice in 8 years. Resected tissue enabled long-term examination of this material, confirming its chemical inertness and revealing minimal tissue reaction to it apart from calcification. No particle migration, fragmentation, or absorption occurred. There was some recanalization of occluded vessels. Most vessels c...

Gelfoam and polyvinyl alcohol foam particles each have advantages and disadvantages for therapeutic embolization. It was theorized and confirmed that a mixture of the two retains the advantages and eliminates the disadvantages of each. Two mixtures were prepared, tested in animals, and used successfully in 14 patients. It was found that the mixtures of Gelfoam and polyvinyl alcohol foam particl...

Ultrasonic velocities and densities have been measured for the aqueous solution of manganese sulphate, nickel sulphate and copper sulphate in polyvinyl alcohol solution, in different concentration at 303K. Adiabatic compressibility, intermolecular free length, acoustic impedance, surface tension and other acoustical parameters have been calculated to assess the polymer-ion interaction. It is se...

Fluconazole is a broad spectrum antifungal agent that has been extensively applied for the management of oral, pharyngeal and cutaneous candidiasis. Fluconazole has a high volume of distribution (0.55-0.65 l/kg) and has systemic toxicity due to high drug-drug interaction. The present study focuses on the formulation of bioadhesive film as a controlled release carrier for fluconazole. The formul...
