Patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups; intravenous or epidural analgesia, with twenty patients in each group. General anesthesia was induced with thiopentone 5-6 mgkg-1 and maintained with 0.8-1.0% isoflurane and 66% nitrous oxide in 33% O2. The trachea was intubated after administration of vecuronium 0.1 mgkg-1. Patients in the epidural analgesia groups then received, by random...

the present study was aimed to improve the reproductive performance of corriedale ewes by nutritional flushing. forty corriedale ewes were divided into four treatment groups (tc, t1, t2 and t3) with 10 ewes in each group (n=10). at the beginning of the breeding season extra feeding (flushing regime) was started for approximately 34 days such that two estrus cycles were covered. first group i.e....

In particular, we investigated whether thoughts about eating mediated the effects of weight discrepancies on ED formation and whether ...

The purpose was to determine the aerobic power (maximal oxygen uptake) and body composition of older track athletes after a 20-yr follow-up (T3). At 20 yr, 21 subjects [mean ages: 50.5 +/- 8.5 yr at initial evaluation (T1), 60.2 +/- 8.8 yr at 10-yr follow-up (T2), and 70.4 +/- 8.8 yr at 20-yr follow-up (T3)] were divided into three intensity groups: high (H; remained elite; n = 9); moderate (M;...

A total of 60 Russ 2011 two weeks old broiler chicks with an average weight of 215.33+4.55g were fed with diets compounded with sweet potato leaves (SPL) for 56 days. The diets consist of T1 (0% SPL), T2 (5% SPL), T3 (10% SPL) and T4 (15% SPL). The proximate composition of the SPL was determined in the laboratory. The birds were randomly allocated to four treatments using completely randomized ...
