six hundred 1-d-old male broilers (ross 308) were assigned to four experimental groups; each was composed of 5 floor pen replications of 30 birds including control (no enalapril), 15, 30 and 60 ppm enalapril in the drinking water. from d 21 to 49, all the chicks were exposed to low ambient temperature to induce ascites. mortalities were inspected to determine the cause of death and diagnose of ...

introduction: stress has many effects on the development of systems and organs in the fetal period, and these effects appear after birth. since hemopoietic system is susceptible to stress, effects of restraint stress were studied in offspring of pregnant rats. methods: pregnant rats were divided into one control and three stress groups. the control group did not receive any stress during the ge...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary influence of aspirin on growth performance, antioxidant status and mortality in the broilers subjected to cold-induced ascites. a total six hundred 1-d old male broilers (ross, 308) were randomly allotted to four treatment groups, with five replicate pens per treatment and 30 birds each. the experimental groups were kept in a cold c...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary artichoke supplementation on performance, carcass traits and some blood parameters of broiler chickens. a total of 300, one day old broiler chicks (ross-308) were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 dietary treatments including: basal diet (control), basal diet supplemented with 1.5 or 3 percent of artichoke powder and also with 300...

one hundred and eighty 28-days-old arbor acres broiler birds were utilized in a 28 day experiment to investigate the effect of replacing bone ash with eggshell meal in the diet of broiler birds on their nutrient digestibility and blood parameters. five experimental diets tagged t1, t2, t3, t4 and t5 were formulated to be isocaloric (2865.53 kcal me/kg) and isonitrogenous (20% crude protein) suc...

background:  patients undergoing cemented hip hemiarthroplasty may develop bone cement implantation syndrome (bcis) which is a leading cause of intraoperative complications. the purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular changes during cemented hip hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients.   methods:  cemented hip hemiarthroplasty was performed on 72 patients with femoral neck fracture. a...

Introduction: Arterial gas derangement could change urinary sodium excretion in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients.There are very few and conflicting data in regards to the measurement of fractional excretion of sodium in COPD patients. The main aim of this study was to assess the relationship between renal fractional excretion of sodium(FeNa) with arterial blood gas and spir...

BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a technique widely used worldwide to improve gas exchange. Changes in ECMO settings affect both oxygen and carbon dioxide. The impact on oxygenation can be followed closely by continuous pulse oximeter. Conversely, carbon dioxide equilibrates much slower and is not usually monitored directly. METHODS We investigated the time to stabiliz...

background: asthma is a common condition in general medical practice, and it accounts for about 1% of all ambulatory hospital visits. nowadays, hospitalization rates for asthma have actually been increased in some demographic subgroups despite recent advances in treatment. understanding the underlying factors that contribute to hospitalization and especially duration of the hospitalization of a...
