Munro (1951) showed that nitrogen retention in rats is reduced when calorie intake is restricted. Although an adaptive process to continued moderate calorie restriction was demonstrated with dogs (Rosenthal & Allison, 1 9 5 1 ) and man (Drury, Vaughan & Hannon, 1959), a linear relationship between N balance and the amount of carbohydrate given along with the protein of the diet was observed in ...

patients and methods this was a historical cohort study. a total of 1396 patients admitted between march 2011 and march 2012 in 16 mmt clinics (13 private and 3 state clinics) in rafsanjan, entered the study and their retention rate was examined for one year. the patients’ data abstracted from their medical records using checklists and collected by clinics’ staff. data analyses were performed u...

background: health records serve several purposes and must be retained to meet those purposes. these varied purposes influence how long health records must be kept, or their retention period. the present study aimed to recognize laws and procedures related to retention of health records in selected countries and provide a proposed guideline for iran. methods: this was an applied, descriptive-co...

conclusions both the lukewarm-water-soaked gauze and the hot pack techniques had significant effects on postoperative urinary retention and significantly reduced the need for urinary catheterization. using these two simple and cost-effective techniques for managing postoperative urinary retention is recommended. results respectively, 59.5%, 71.4%, and 7.1% of patients in the hot pack, the soake...

Conservation agriculture in its version of permanent raised bed planting with crop residue retention has been proposed as an alternative wheat production system of western Uttar Pradesh.Therefore the present work was undertaken during 2008-2011 to compare permanent and tilled raised beds with different residue management under irrigated conditions. Permanent beds with residue retention resulted...

Nuptial food gifts given by males to females at mating are widespread in insects, but their evolutionary origin remains obscure. Such gifts may arise as a form of sensory trap that exploits the normal gustatory responses of females, favouring the selective retention of sperm of gift-giving males. I tested this hypothesis by offering foreign food gifts, synthesized by males of one cricket specie...

To explore whether nitrogen retention can differ on an isonitrogenous diet by changing when protein is consumed, we performed a short-term study in older individuals (64.5 ± 2.0 years) performing daily exercise while in energy balance. Participants consumed an isonitrogenous-isocaloric diet with the timing of a protein or carbohydrate beverage after exercise (protein after exercise [PRO], carbo...
