This study utilized two sampling methods to examine changes in sarcoplasmic proteins during aging of beef and their relation to tenderness. Water-soluble proteins either obtained by manually expressing exudates from the meat (drip) or by an extraction procedure using homogenization and centrifugation (ext) were analyzed for longissimus lumborum muscle using HPLC and capillary electrophoresis (C...

laryngopharyngeal reflux (lpr) is a variant of gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) in which the stomach contents go up into the pharynx and then down into the larynx. lpr causes a wide spectrum of manifestations mainly related to the upper and the lower respiratory system such as laryngitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cough, hoarseness, postnasal drip disease, sinusitis, ...

The pharmacokinetics of each drug on the concomitant administration of piperacillin (PIPC) and cefazolin (CEZ) or cefoperazone (CPZ) were studied in rabbits. When rabbits received the consecutive drip infusion administration of CEZ (0.71 mg/kg/minute) and PIPC (1.38 mg/kg/minute) and likewise of CPZ (0.72 mg/kg/minute) and PIPC (1.54 mg/kg/minute) for 1 hour, respectively, the serum half-lives ...

Methyl iodide (MeI) is a promising alternative to methyl bromide in soil fumigation. The pest-control efficacy and ground water contamination risks of MeI as a fumigant are highly related to its gas-phase distribution and leaching after soil application. In this study, the distribution and leaching of MeI in soil following shank injection and subsurface drip application were investigated. Methy...

One of the biggest obstacles to the widespread adoption of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) on the High Plains of Texas is the high cost of initial installation. In some cases, SDI costs can be reduced if systems are designed using lower irrigation uniformity standards. The question becomes “what is the cost in terms of cotton lint yield of lowering the uniformity standards for SDI design?” A S...

Plots naturally infested with Rotylenchulus reniformis were sampled in the spring of 2006 and 2007 at depths of 15 and 30 cm in the bed, furrow over the drip tape, and "dry" furrow, and at approximately 40 to 45 cm depth in the bed and dry furrow. Then, 1,3-dichloropropene (Telone EC) was injected into the subsurface drip irrigation at 46 kg a.i./ha, and 3 to 4 weeks later the plots were resamp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The outcomes of patients remaining at a community spoke hospital after tissue-type plasminogen activator treatment via telemedicine are unclear. Our aim was to compare medical outcomes between these patients and those treated at a hub stroke center. METHODS We retrospectively examined patient medical records from 2006 to 2014 of 272 consecutive patients treated with int...

There was no history of a foreign body in the nose at any time before. Anterior rhinoscopy showed a rough dark stony mass covered with greenish discharge. Probing gave a metallic sound. Postnasal examination showed a greenish discharge. A clinical diagnosis of a rhinolith was made. Radiology showed the rhinolith's position (Fig. 1) in the floor of the right nostril with mucosal thickening of th...

to evaluate the effect of water, tape drip and furrow irrigation methods on the performance components and features of agria cultivar potato, an experiment was carried out in the agriculture faculty of kermanshah. repeated three times, this study was carried out in the form of full random blocks with the main factor of different amounts of irrigation water in three levels (50, 75, and100 percen...
