BACKGROUND Downer cow syndrome (DCS) is often diagnosed in dairy cattle during the early post-partum period. The etiology of this condition is not completely understood, as it can be related to the energetic or electrolyte metabolism, as well as to infectious diseases or to trauma. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to compare energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity indices and ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate differences between semi-recumbent and supine postures in terms of cough rate, oxygen desaturation, sedative use, and patient comfort during the initial phase of bronchoscopy. METHODS Consecutive bronchoscopy patients (n = 69) participated in this observational cohort study. Posture was determined by the bronchoscopist's usual practice. Patient demographics, spiromet...

Abstract For carbon neutrality of cities, we should compensate dioxide gains from vehicles. Human-driven ones are not carbon-free because cyclists perform hard work. Green roofs an adequate carbon-capturing facility, especially for the dense building. We used previous author’s data sequestration them. The gained a cyclist is calculated using aggregated indicators work and rest. Also, experiment...

Gastric residual volume (GRV) is considered as an objective parameter for gastric emptying and tolerance of feeding. The effect of infant's position after feeding on gastric residual has been mostly conducted in infants. The aim of this study was to assess the difference between right side and semi recumbent positions after feeding on gastric residual volume among infants. A quasi experimental ...

abstract in this presentation, a case of bilateral choroidal folds in patient with diabetic retinopathy was reported. by our knowledge, this case presentation is the first report of choroidal folds in diabetic retinopathy, which bilateral symmetric and horizontal folds arranged in macula. the thick choroid that is developed in diabetics may be a cause of these folds but the source of difference...

In a randomised prospective study of 68 women in spontaneous labour half were allocated to an ambulant group and half to a recumbent group. The duration of labour was significantly shorter, the need for analgesia significantly less, and the incidence of fetal heart abnormalities significantly smaller in the ambulant group than in the recumbent group. Apgar scores at one and five minutes were al...

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION To elucidate the sequential changes of autonomic nervous activity during pregnancy, we examined heart rate variability on two positions and whether autonomic nervous activity affected duration of labor. METHODS Thirty-eight normal pregnant women were studied. Frequency domain parameters (HF, LF, LF/HF ratio) and heart rate were obtained by spectral HRV analysis in the...

The way we view the past is constantly modified by new evidence and methodological advances. Archaeological data gleaned from ground archaeoastronomical considers use of sky in relation to archaeological record. Since beginning 20th century two disciplines archaeology archaeoastronomy have flirted with one another but there has never been a satisfactory marriage. This paper looks at Recumbent S...
