Anaerobic Digestion of Slaughterhouse Waste

Sports activity done five days before PET/CT results in augmented FDG uptake in skeletal muscles

Increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before FDG injection is a known phenomenon. We present FDG PET/CT findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla His scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. There was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing...

Fermentation of Aerobically Slaughterhouse Sludge for Purposes

Aerobically activated sludge from a pig slaughterhouse wastewater-treatment plant was mixed with 0.35 or 0.5% (wtlwt) dextrose, with 0.5% (wtlwt) dextrose and 0.05 or 0.2% (vlv) f ormic acid, or with 2.5% (wtlwt) molasses and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid, and was pasteurized at 95°C for 5 min. After cooling to approximately 20°C the sludge was inoculated with l@-lo7 cfu Lactobacillus plantarum/g slud...

Isolated hemoperfused heart model of slaughterhouse pigs.

A model of hemoperfused slaughterhouse pighearts is described providing a wide range of applications which leads to a reduction in animal experiments. The size of a pigheart, heart rate, coronary perfusion, metabolism, etc. are more comparable to conditions in patients than those in hearts of small laboratory animals. Global heart function can be assessed either by measuring stroke volume, ejec...
