The variation in climatic variables like temperature, humidity and radiations were recognized as the potential hazards in the growth and production of all domestic livestock species. Thermal environment is a major factor that can negatively affect both production and reproduction in dairy animals, especially in animals of high genetic merit. Among the stressors, heat stress has been of major co...

Stress may cause special behavioral and biochemical changes. Kindling is presumed to be the underlying mechanism for such changes. Lamotrigin, an anti-kindling agent which blocks glutamate release through inhibiting sodium channels may reverse these behavioral changes. The aim of this study was to explore the effects of lamotrigin in management of behavioral and biochemical changes caused by st...

OF the problems associated with anaesthesia and surgical treatment in burned patients, some are the result of secondary biochemical changes or indiscriminate attempts to reverse such changes (Hutchins, McLaughlin & Hayes, 1961; Stoner, 1969, 1970). For example, one of the most constant, if least striking, early features of the metabolic response to injury-including burn injury and surgical trau...
