The objective of this work was to study the effect of early weaning on circadian rhythm and the behavioral satiety sequence in adult rats. Male Wistar rat pups were weaned for separation from the mother at 15 (D15), 21 (D21) and 30 (D30) days old. Body weight and food intake was measured every 30 days until pups were 150 days old. At 90 days of age, the circadian rhythm of food intake was evalu...

Abstract For cardiovascular disease prevention, statins alone or combined with ezetimibe have been recommended to achieve low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets, but their effects on other lipids are less reported. This study was designed examine lipid changes in subjects ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after two highly effective lipid-lowering therapies. Twenty patients...

This study aims to the effect of enrichment traditional porridge on nutritional and inflammatory protein profile Moderately Acutely Malnourished (MAM) aged 6 59 months with a view their rehabilitation. To achieve this, four groups 75 children were fed types porridge: non-enriched (BC1), enriched Anacardium occidentalis (BC2), Corchorus olitorius leaves (BC3) both occidental (BC4). Nutritional (...

BACKGROUND One of the cardinal principles of homeopathy is the "law of similarities", according to which patients can be treated by administering substances which, when tested in healthy subjects, cause symptoms that are similar to those presented by the patients themselves. Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of pre-clinical (in vitro and animal) studies aimed at ...

We model political competition as a contest between parties that represent constituents, and which announce policies in a two-dimensional policy space; the first dimension concerns the degree of redistribution, and the second, the race or immigration issue. Given the distribution of voter preferences on this space, a political equilibrium is determined. We study the effect that racist or anti-i...

Evidence on the portfolio holdings and transaction patterns of households suggests that the burden of inflation is not evenly distributed. We build a monetary growth model consistent with key features of cross-sectional household data and use this framework to study the distributional impact of inflation. At the aggregate level, our model economy behaves similar to standard monetary growth mode...

In this paper we propose the inÞmum of the Arrow-Pratt index of absolute risk aversion as a measure of global risk aversion of a utility function. We then show that, for any given arbitrary pair of distributions, there exists a threshold level of global risk aversion such that all increasing concave utility functions with at least as much global risk aversion would rank the two distributions in...

The purpose of the paper is to study heat transfer in exhaust manifold a naturally aspirated diesel engine. work started from test engine D30 which was redesigned CATIA V5, then pre-processed Comsol Multiphysics. results post-processing phase have generated temperature, velocity, pressure, and Reynolds number fields were compared with experimental data dynamometric test. For higher accuracy, te...

PURPOSE Intraoperative planning with transrectal ultrasound (US) is used for accurate seed placement and optimal dosimetry in prostate brachytherapy. However, prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown superiority in delineation of prostate anatomy. Accordingly, MRI/US fusion may be useful for accurate intraoperative planning. We analyzed planning with MRI/US fusion to compare differen...
