an experiment was conducted in which 30 broiler chickens were selected based on their ecg and designated as healthy or subclinical ascites. subsequently, blood samples were collected and assayed for hemoglobin, hematocrit and differential leukocyte count. finally, all the birds were euthanized and their hearts harvested for the ventricle cuts. results indicated that broilers with subclinical as...

BACKGROUND As a reduction of water spaces is expected in the elderly because of fat-free mass loss, disease is often associated with increased hydration. The present study compared water spaces and cellular hydration in adults, healthy and diseased aged patients. METHODS An open study was conducted in 6 geriatric wards and a nutrition laboratory involving 85 aged diseased persons, 68 healthy ...

Observations were carried out at Lismore in western Victoria on the performance of two groups of 250 fine wool Merino ewes mated in spring (November) and autumn (May) respectively. A greater proportion of ewes lambing in spring lambed within 150-170 days after the introduction of the rams than ewes lambing in autumn. The duration of lambing was shorter in spring. There were no significant diffe...

Objective To investigate the proportion of circulating invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells in four body health types. Methods In this cross-sectional study, participants were classified into four body health types according to the body mass index and metabolic status: metabolically healthy and normal weight (MHNW), metabolically unhealthy but normal weight (MUNW), metabolically healthy but ...

The law of ground pressure behavior can accurately guide the material proportion and performance roadside backfill body (RBB) in gob-side entry retaining (GER), thereby reducing waste materials cost roadway. In this study, a similar modeling is used to verify spatiotemporal engineering case solid dense backfilling mining Xingtai Mine, China. Based on that law, theoretical requirements for beari...
