Radiocaesium contamination of wild boar (Sus scrofa) still achieves several ten thousands Bq kg fresh weight (FW) in some areas of Germany, concurrently exhibiting an extraordinary variability. In the Bavarian Forest, for instance, activity levels ranged between 82 and 40,000 Bq kg FW in 2004, with maximum and minimum values occurring at almost the same location within one week (Fielitz, 2005)....

A study was performed to determine the biological half-life and plasma concentrations of gentamicin in gopher snakes. The snake plasma was assayed for gentamicin, using a microbiological agar well diffusion technique. In the 1st study, 10 gopher snakes (groups A and B) were each given a single injection of gentamicin. They were anesthetized and samples of blood were collected each day to determ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of a mucoadhesive, lipid-based, oral paclitaxel formulation (DHP107) with traditional, intraperitoneal (IP) paclitaxel using an orthotopic mouse model of chemotherapy-sensitive SKOV3ip1 ovarian cancer. METHODS To determine the optimal therapeutic dose of oral paclitaxel, DHP107 was administered per os to female...

Processing tank was carried out phase 2-3 true leaves (t.l) soybeans. biological efficiency mixtures 70-86% exceeded values benchmark (Galaxy Top, 1.5 + Aramo, l/ha, 65-74%). high noted against ...

BACKGROUND Phenylalanine, which is an essential aromatic amino acid, is either used for protein synthesis or irreversibly hydroxylated to tyrosine. The provision of optimal amounts of dietary phenylalanine is not only important for growth and development but might also influence catecholamine synthesis and release rates. The current recommended aromatic amino acid requirement for infants aged 0...

Purpose African American women with breast cancer have higher cancer-specific and overall mortality rates. Obesity is common among African American women and contributes to breast cancer progression and numerous chronic conditions. Weight loss interventions among breast cancer survivors positively affect weight, behavior, biomarkers, and psychosocial outcomes, yet few target African Americans. ...

AIM To compare the effects of combining liraglutide (0.6, 1.2 or 1.8 mg/day) or rosiglitazone 4 mg/day (all n >or= 228) or placebo (n = 114) with glimepiride (2-4 mg/day) on glycaemic control, body weight and safety in Type 2 diabetes. METHODS In total, 1041 adults (mean +/- sd), age 56 +/- 10 years, weight 82 +/- 17 kg and glycated haemoglobin (HbA(1c)) 8.4 +/- 1.0% at 116 sites in 21 countr...
