Seven Holstein steers (234 +/- 6.4 kg) surgically fitted with pancreatic cannulas, ruminal and abomasal infusion cannulas, and hepatic-portal vein catheters were used in a 4 x 7 incomplete Latin square design experiment to examine the influence of ruminal and abomasal carbohydrate infusion on enzyme secretion and composition of pancreatic juice. Four treatments were arranged in a 2 x 2 factoria...

BACKGROUND Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is associated with adverse obstetric outcomes and neurodevelopment disorders. Both iodine deficiency and excess are associated with SH; however, few data regarding iodine nutrition status of pregnant women with SH are available. This study aimed to clarify whether iodine deficiency or excess is associated with SH, especially, when test results for anti...

Background. Normally one habituates rapidly to steady, faint sensations. People with sensory hypersensitivity (SH), by contrast, continue to attend to such stimuli and find them noxious. SH is common in Tourette syndrome (TS) and autism, and methods to quantify SH may lead to better understanding of these disorders. In an attempt to objectively quantify SH severity, the authors tested whether a...

Phrenic long-term facilitation (pLTF) is a serotonin-dependent form of pattern-sensitive respiratory plasticity induced by intermittent hypoxia (IH), but not sustained hypoxia (SH). The mechanism(s) underlying pLTF pattern sensitivity are unknown. SH and IH may differentially regulate serine/threonine protein phosphatase activity, thereby inhibiting relevant protein phosphatases uniquely during...

Senescence secretome was recently reported to promote liver cancer in an obese mouse model. Steatohepatitic hepatocellular carcinoma (SH-HCC), a new variant of HCC, has been found in metabolic syndrome patients, and pericellular fibrosis, a characteristic feature of SH-HCC, suggests that alteration of the tumor stroma might play an important role in SH-HCC development. Clinicopathological chara...

SH&E PROFESSIONALS HAVE OFTEN become victims of their own success in achieving regulatory compliance; many business executives view beyondcompliance spending as a fruitless exercise (Soyka and Feldman 61). Compounding this problem is the fact that SH&E professionals seldom use business models or speak in business terms. Safety jargon is often considered irrelevant and inconsistent with standard...

Copper concentrations were measured in a 65 samples marketed and collected in Croatia in summer 2012: meat samples (bovine, pig, sheep), meat products (sausages, pâté), fi sh and fi sh products and shellfi sh (mussels, oysters). Mean Cu levels were (mg/kg): all meat 0.77, sausages 0.69, pâté 2.24, fi sh 0.23, fi sh products 1.20, mussels 0.81, oysters 30.0. Signifi cant diff erences were found ...

We report the morphological characteristics of 30 cases of sclerosing hemangioma (SH) of the lung and explore the histological origin of the major cells in these tumors. In addition to routine light and electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry was performed by using 12 monoclonal primary and 5 polyclonal primary antibodies. These included surfactant protein B (SP-B), thyroid transcription fact...

1. The construction of T(A) is motivated by dualizing the fundamental group 7Ti(X) of a differentiable manifold X with a base point Xo. Let A be the -R-algebra of C functions on X equipped with the derivation d, which is the usual differentiation from A into the Amodule M = ÛA of C 1-forms on X. Recall that the shuffle algebra Sh(M) consists of the i£-module of the tensor algebra TR(M) and the ...

A mathematical model is considered to investigate the behavior of horizontally polarized shear waves (SH-waves) in fluid saturated porous medium sandwiched between heterogeneous half-spaces. Heterogeneity in the upper half-space is due to linear variation of elastic parameters, whereas quadratic variation has been considered for lower half-space. The method of separation of variables and Whitta...
