The feeding and drinking behavior of 11 mares and 15 foals living on pasture with free access to water was recorded during 2,340 15-min focal samples taken over 2 yr. Lactating mares on pasture spent about 70% of the day feeding. Foals began feeding on their first day of life. As they grew older, they spent progressively more time feeding, but still spent only 47 -+ 6% of the time feeding by 21...

the ability of whey protein concentrate (wpc) (1% w/v) and/or honey (2% and 4% w⁄v) to improve lactic acid bacteria (streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) growth and viability in yoghurt during a 21 day period of storage was investigated. another focus of this study was to examine fermentation kinetics and post-acidification rates through ph and lactic acid...

prenatal stress in rats results in structural, physiological and behavioral alterations that persist in adulthood. serotonin (5-ht) is an important neurotransmitter known to be involved in these prenatal stress-induced behavioral alterations. the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of interrupted synthesis of 5-ht and immobilization stress during different gestational period on brai...

We are writing to clarify the interpretation of results contained within a paper by Giles et al.1 In their abstract, the authors state, “The [complete remission] CR rate was significantly higher for the laromustine/[high-dose cytarabine] HDAC group (35% vs 19%, P .005). However, the 30-day mortality rate and median progression-free survival were significantly worse in this group compared with H...

The effects of chlorpyrifos, an organophosphorus insecticide, were examined on the activity of the nervous system enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the threeridge mussel Amblema plicata in a 24-day laboratory test. Thirty-six mussels in each of seven treatments (18 mussels per duplicate) were exposed to chlorpyrifos (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 mg/L), a solvent (acetone), and a solvent-free...

Prenatal stress in rats results in structural, physiological and behavioral alterations that persist in adulthood. Serotonin (5-HT) is an important neurotransmitter known to be involved in these prenatal stress-induced behavioral alterations. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of interrupted synthesis of 5-HT and immobilization stress during different gestational period on brai...

Objectives. To investigate whether lifestyle-only intervention in obese children who maintain or lose a modest amount of weight redistributes parameters of body composition and reverses metabolic abnormalities. Study Design. Clinical, anthropometric, and metabolic parameters were assessed in 111 overweight or obese children (CA of 11.3 ± 2.8 years; 63 females and 48 males), during 8 months of l...

OBJECTIVE To compare individually prefabricated computer-assisted designed/computer-assisted manufactured (CAD/CAM) glass-bioceramic implants with nonpreformed titanium meshes for orbital floor reconstruction in secondary correction of enophthalmos. METHODS In a nonrandomized, comparative, prospective cohort study, 2 groups of 10 patients received secondary correction of enophthalmos with CAD...
