AIM The study was undertaken to find out the effect of feeding cottonseed meal (CSM) on performance of hematological and serum biochemical parameters in broiler birds. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 6-week biological trial was carried out with 432-day-old Cobb 400 broiler chicks distributed to nine experimental diets with six replicates, each containing eight chicks. The experimental diets were form...

A recently described semisolid blood-free selective motility medium (SSM) (J. Goossens, L. Vlaes, I. Galand, C. Van den Borre, and J. P. Butzler, J. Clin. Microbiol. 27:1077-1080, 1989) was compared with two charcoal-based selective media (charcoal-based selective medium [CSM] and modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar [CCDA]), two blood-based media (Skirrow medium [SKM] and CampyBAP)...

Sixteen (8 ruminally cannulated) multiparous and 8 primiparous lactating Holstein cows were used in 6 replicated 4 x 4 Latin squares to test the effects of feeding supplemental protein as urea, solvent soybean meal (SSBM), cottonseed meal (CSM), or canola meal (CM) on milk production, nutrient utilization, and ruminal metabolism. All diets contained (% of DM) 21% alfalfa silage and 35% corn sil...

Objectives of this study were to explore the untoward effects of cottonseed meal (CSM) on male reproductive performance of broiler breeders and ameliorating effects of lysine addition in rations. A total of 80 broiler breeder males of 40 weeks of age were divided in to 8 groups. The four groups were fed diets containing CSM @ of 0, 10, 20 and 30%, respectively. The remaining four groups were gi...

INTRODUCTION The prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its risk factors in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) before spinal surgery are poorly understood. We investigated this association with a retrospective cross-sectional study. PATIENTS CONCERNS The study cohort consisted of all consecutive patients with CSM who were scheduled for spinal surgery at our institution ...

where d(x) = |(L/π) sin[πx/L]| and L is the systems size. At the special values λ = 1/2, 1 and 2, the CSM describes statistics of eigenvalues of random matrices belonging to one of the three Dyson’s ensembles. Recently these special cases were intensely studied in connection with the theory of universal spectral correlations in random systems [1]. The spectrum of CSM was obtained by the so-call...

The COSMA software environment, developed in the Institute of Computer Science, WUT, was designed primarily for model checking of reactive systems specified in terms of Concurrent State Machines (CSM). However, COSMA supports also Extended CSM (ECSM). The extensions allow for using complex data types and pieces of C/C++ code, attributed to CSM states and/or transitions. Because of these extensi...

The natural history of cervical myelopathy involves both static and dynamic factors which trigger a cascade of reactions resulting in cord compression and ischemic dysfunction of the spinal cord. Conservative management is an option in those with mild Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM), though close clinical and radiological follow-up is important. Operative management remains the standard o...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of heat damage, achieved by autoclaving, on the nutritional composition and on the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of AA in sunflower meal (SFM) and cottonseed meal (CSM) fed to growing pigs. The second objective was to establish a relationship between the concentration of SID AA in SFM and CSM and the concentration of fiber compone...

OBJECT The objective of this systematic review was to use evidence-based medicine to examine the efficacy of anterior cervical surgery for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). METHODS The National Library of Medicine and Cochrane Database were queried using MeSH headings and key words relevant to anterior cervical surgery and CSM. Abstracts were reviewed, and studies meetin...
