OBJECTIVE To report a technique for semiclosed 1-layer side-to-side jejunocecal anastomosis in horses. STUDY DESIGN Experimental study and clinical reports. SAMPLE POPULATION Part 1--In vitro: Intestinal specimens from 24 horses collected immediately after death at an abattoir. Part 2--CLINICAL CASES: 10 horses with clinical signs of colic requiring jejunocecostomy. METHODS Mean time to p...

The ∼25 N-terminal "HAfp" residues of the HA2 subunit of the influenza virus hemagglutinin protein are critical for fusion between the viral and endosomal membranes at low pH. Earlier studies of HAfp in detergent support (1) N-helix/turn/C-helix structure at pH 5 with open interhelical geometry and N-helix/turn/C-coil structure at pH 7; or (2) N-helix/turn/C-helix at both pHs with closed interh...

Purpose: To investigatge right-to-left shunt determination in dog lungs under inhalantion anesthesia with non-rebreathing and rebreathing systems and fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) of 0.9 and 0.4, respectively. Methods: Two groups of 10 dogs each under inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane: GI in which it was utilized non-rebreathing semiclosed system and FIO2 = 0.9, and GII in which it wa...

BACKGROUND Closed-loop control algorithms in diabetes aim to calculate the optimum insulin delivery to maintain the patient in a normoglycemic state, taking the blood glucose level as the algorithm's main input. The major difficulties facing these algorithms when applied subcutaneously are insulin absorption time and delays in measurement of subcutaneous glucose with respect to the blood concen...

Abstract The goal of this paper is to develop some fundamental and important nonlinear analysis for single-valued mappings under the framework p -vector spaces, in particular, locally -convex spaces $0 < \leq 1$ 0<p≤1 . More precisely, ba...

Viglino defined a Hausdorff topological space to be C-compact if each closed subset of the space is anH-set in the sense of Velǐcko. In this paper, we study the class of Hausdorff spaces characterized by the property that each closed subset is an S-set in the sense of Dickman and Krystock. Such spaces are calledC-s-compact. Recently, the notion of strongly subclosed relation, introduced by Jose...
