When exposed to a human host, Anopheles gambiae started probing 4 h post-eclosion, but 95% successfully blood-fed by 16-20 h with maximal blood volumes of 5- 10 microl per female. When fed sugar, the 95% feeding was not observed until 36-40 h post-eclosion; sugar meals appeared to interfere with blood meals. Similarly in An. atroparvus, maximum volumes were 10 microl when starved but only 6 mic...

Anthropophilic mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) have been shown to have superior reproductive success on human blood when sugar is not available. Life-table experiments were conducted with Aedes albopictus Skuse and Ae. aegypti to compare the effects of sugar availability on age-specific survivorship, lifetime and daily fecundity, and blood-feeding frequency when offered...

Introduction: Reduction in blood sugar and prolong the duration of fasting in infants and children’s surgery have many damages. The aim of this study is to determine the affecting factors on the reduction of fasting blood sugar before an elective surgery for children. Methods: This study is a randomized single-blind clinical trial and examining the patients that are performed on 60 chi...

The genus is distributed throughout the Old World and the Americas, with three distinct regions of diversity: Central and shake the limbs and topic in folk medicine. South America (approx. 500 species), Central Asia and Mediterranean (250 species), Eastern Asia (90 species)various species of the genus salvia are used as Disinfectants, Epileptics Autodigestion, Reduce blood sugar donor, Carminat...

We determined whether size, an indirect measure of teneral energy reserves, modifies the fitness advantage (sigma survival x egg production/female/day) conferred to female Aedes aegypti (L.) maintained on human blood over cohorts fed human blood plus sugar. Different sized females were obtained by rearing them at different larval densities and with different amounts of food per larva. Each fema...

introduction & objective: adequate and proper hydration during surgery is one of the duties of anesthesiologist. based on the different effects of dextrose–containing fluids and dextrose-free fluids on the level of blood sugar, we decided to evaluate the effects of these fluids on the blood sugar level after short-term surgeries. materials & methods: one hundred patients who were scheduled for ...

background: with the ever increasing incidence of coronary artery disease, its detection in particular through visual system becomes important. this study examines the relationship between corneal arcus and coronary risk factors such as cholesterol, triglycerid and fasting blood sugar. methods: for this cross-sectional study, 265 participants all aged over 30 years were randomly selected from t...

Nifedipine produced significant hyperglycemia but rise' in blood sugar was not dose dependent (Table I). Nifedipine also increased blood sugar in rats rendered hyperglycemic by alloxon (193 ± lO.7 and 224 ± 9.3 mg%, n = 6, p < 0.05). Nifedipine Sr. No. of Dose of No. animals nefedipine mglkg (150 mgfkg) was injected sc 2 days prior to sacrificing animals. After 3 weeks of nifedipine treatment b...

There is a current debate concerning whether people's physiological or behavioral potential alters their perception of slanted surfaces. One way to directly test this is to physiologically change people's potential by lowering their blood sugar and comparing their estimates of slant to those with normal blood sugar. In the first investigation of this (Schnall, Zadra, & Proffitt, 2010), it was s...
