Identification and treatment of hibernating myocardium (HM) lead to improvement in LV function and prognosis in patients with post-ischemic heart failure. Different techniques are used to diagnose HM: echocardiography, MRI, SPECT and PET and, in patients with moderate LV impairment, their predictive values are similar. There are few data on patients with severe LV dysfunction and heart failure ...

A grazing study was undertaken to examine the effect of maintaining three levels of pre-grazing herbage mass (HM) on dairy cow performance, grass dry matter (DM) production and output from perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) pastures. Cows were randomly assigned to one of three pre-grazing HM treatments: 1150 - Low HM (L), 1400 - Medium HM (M) or 2000 kg DM/ha - High HM (H). Herbage accumula...

This study is the first attempt to examine the quiet-condition variations in scale height (Hm) near the F2layer peak in the equatorial ionosphere. The data periods of Hm derived from the Jicamarca ionograms are JanuaryDecember 1996 and April 1999–March 2000. The results show that the greatest and smallest Hm values are generally at 11:00–12:00 LT and 04:00–05:00 LT, respectively. Additionally, ...

Results Preanalytic testing: MIRIS was capable to measure bovine protein dissolved in water accurately. Impreciseness started after adding 0.5g P+ to HM-fortifier mixtures and revealed up to 20% difference after addition of 4.0g P+. Native HM (FMS group, n=67) contained in mean 1.1±0.3g protein, 3.1±0.8g fat, 6.6±0.3g lactose, 11.7±0.8g of dry mass and 59±10kcal per 100ml HM. After fortificatio...

this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of synthetic methionine replacement with herbal methionine (hm) on performance, blood biochemical parameters and carcass characteristics in broiler chicken. a total of 280 8-old ross 308 male chicken were randomly assigned to 7 dietary treatments: control, in which 100% methionine requirement was supplied form dl-methionine, and in treatments ...

Behavioral responses of 3- to 4-day-old newborns to the odors of various human milk (HM) and formula milk (FM) were examined in paired-choice tests. When both stimuli were nonfamiliar, breast-fed, as well as bottle-fed, infants oriented their head and mouthed more vigorously to HM than to FM. When breast-fed infants were exposed to nonfamiliar HM along with the familiar FM, their head-turning r...

An almost para-CR structure on a manifold M is given by a distribution HM ⊂ TM together with a field K ∈ Γ(End(HM)) of involutive endomorphisms of HM . If K satisfies an integrability condition, then (HM,K) is called a para-CR structure. The notion of maximally homogeneous para-CR structure of a semisimple type is given. A classification of such maximally homogeneous para-CR structures is given...

and Applied Analysis 3 2. Problem Statements Consider the following discrete-time neural networks with interval time-varying delays: y k 1 Ay k W0g ( y k ) W1g ( y k − h k ) b, 2.1 where n denotes the number of neurons in a neural network, y k y1 k , . . . , yn k T ∈ R is the neuron state vector, g k g1 k , . . . , gn k T ∈ R denotes the neuron activation function vector, b b1, . . . , bn T ∈ R...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of the reduced function allele CYP2D6*10, which can be the cause of an intermediate metabolizer (IM), on tolterodine pharmacokinetics. Tolterodine is mainly metabolized to an active 5-hydroxymethyl metabolite (5-HM) by CYP2D6, and 5-HM is also metabolized by CYP2D6. Asian and white healthy volunteers (n = 108) received once daily multiple doses...

Most sporadic gastric cancer with the microsatellite instability (MSI) phenotype is linked with hypermethylation (HM) of hMLH1. However, a part of gastric cancer with hMLH1 HM does not show MSI, suggesting a region-specific effect of hMLH1 promoter methylation on developing MSI. To test this possibility, we measured the methylation level in 3 distinct areas of hMLH1 promoter and compared them w...
