Thirty-two groups of six sheep, classified into three breed categories according to their weight class (L: light, one breed (n=7); M: medium light, two breeds (n=10); H: heavy, three breeds (n=15)) were tested for antipredatory behaviour towards seven stimulus regimes. Tests were performed on 2-5-years-old ewes with lambs inside standardised and fenced home pastures. Stimulus regimes were: man ...

OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) would be associated with adverse outcomes independent of serum creatinine (sCr)-based estimates of kidney function in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). BACKGROUND Although lower glomerular filtration rates (GFR) have prognostic significance among patients with ACS, estimates of GFR based on sCr may perform less acc...

Abstract Geblek is one of the traditional foods from Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The aim this research was to determine how cooking methods and addition dumbo catfish bone flour affect calcium phosphorus content, sensory assessment, chemical qualities a specific product. A completely randomized design (CRD) used for test design. Steamed presto were used. incorporation as follows...

Panax ginseng is a medicinal herb that is used worldwide. Its medicinal effects are primarily attributable to ginsenosides located in the root, leaf, seed, and flower. The flower buds of Panax ginseng (FBPG) are rich in various bioactive ginsenosides, which exert immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activities. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of 18 ginsenosides isolated ...

The most efficient steaming conditions below 200 degrees C for extracting antioxidants from used tea leaves and their reaction behavior during the steaming treatment were investigated. The antioxidative activity of the steamed extracts increased with increasing steaming temperature, and the yield of the ethyl acetate extract fraction from each steamed extract showing the greatest antioxidative ...

With the increasing clinical application of FDG PET, interest in metabolic imaging in general is growing among clinicians. The reasons for the great impact that FDG PET is currently making in oncologic diagnostics are (a) the exceptionally high uptake and trapping of FDG in malignant cells and (b) the technical performance of PET systems with high resolution and counting efficiency. These 2 fac...

BACKGROUND Admission measures of renal function (blood urea nitrogen [BUN], estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]) in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure are predictors of in-hospital outcomes. Less is known about the changes and relationships among these variables and the postdischarge survival rate. METHODS AND RESULTS In a retrospective analysis of 949 patients from the...

BACKGROUND/AIM Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known as the most common cause of chronic liver disease. It is accepted that the leading cause of death in patients with NAFLD is from coronary events. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was used as a prognostic indicator for cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate the relationship between BUN levels and metabolic, biochemical, and histo...

This study aimed to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms of active ingredients of Epimedii Folium (EF) and Ligustri Lucidi Fructus (LLF) combined with Budesonide (Bun) in asthmatic rats. Rats were divided into 5 groups, including normal group, asthma model group, Bun group, group of active ingredients of EL and LLF (EL), and group of coadministration of Bun with EL (Bun&EL). The asthma...
