the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of corn substitution with triticale in grower diets (zero, 50 and 100%) with/without exogenous enzyme supplementation on growth performance, digestive organs relative weight, jejunal morphology and blood lipids of quail chicks. two hundred and forty one-day-old unsexed japanese quail chicks were randomly assigned to a completely randomiz...

The body mass index (BMI) is unsatisfactory in being affected by both relative leg length and height, and, for use with children and adolescents, therefore needs to be interpreted in relation to age. The sitting-height index of build (body mass)/(sitting height)³, is largely free of these disadvantages. Furthermore, because that index is independent of relative leg length, the latter can be tre...

A 28-year-old woman presented with left-sided frontotemporal headache lasting 6 wk. Head CT and MR imaging revealed a clival mass, which was interpreted as a chondrosarcoma. The lesion was removed at endoscopic endonasal surgery; histologic and immunohistochemical findings proved it to be neurenteric cyst. On CT scans, the lesion was lytic, with an intact cortex; it was uniformly hyperintense r...

Air pluviation is a method of preparing laboratory models to carry out many geotechnical experiments. In this study, a new air pluviation device has been developed by the researchers. For laboratory modeling, it is important to calibrate the device using air pluviation to produce accurate specimens with desirable conditions and relative densities. A series of laboratory tests were conducted to ...

Growth cartilage is a pivotal area between the epiphysis and metaphysis, with relative fragility. She was incarcerated for soft tissue during Salter-Harris type I epiphysic detachment in 13-year-old girl. Such lesion can be easily obscured irreversible after-effects.

in order to assess the drought tolerance in 15 lentil genotypes, a field experiment was conducted during 2001-02 growing season in dryland agricultural research institute (dari) station of shirvan, in northern khorasan, iran, under rainfed and irrigated conditions. the experimental design was rcb with three replications. data for agronomic traits of plant height, number of empty and filled pods...

Raised blood pressure (BP) is the world's leading mortality risk factor. Childhood BP substantially predicts adult levels, and although both prenatal and postnatal growth influence it, their relative importance is debated. In a longitudinal study (Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children) of 12 962 healthy children, we aimed to assess the relative contribution of different growth periods...

BACKGROUND Only about half the studies that have collected information on the relevance of women's height and body mass index to their risk of developing ovarian cancer have published their results, and findings are inconsistent. Here, we bring together the worldwide evidence, published and unpublished, and describe these relationships. METHODS AND FINDINGS Individual data on 25,157 women wit...
