Liquid Consumption

Microbiological Quality of Paediatric Oral Liquid Drug Formulations during Consumption

This preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the microbiological quality of paediatric oral liquid drug formulations during consumption. Paracetamol, Salbutamol, Cephalexin, Amoxicillin and Lactulose are few oral liquid medicines prescribed in Sri Lanka. These oral liquid medicines are at a greater risk of microbial contamination during consumption. This can lead to co-infection in paediatr...

Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during liquid ventilation.

Liquid ventilation with perfluorocarbon (PFCV) has advantages over conventional gas ventilation (GV) in premature and lung-injured newborn animals. Indirect calorimetric measurement of both oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) during PFCV has not been previously performed. In addition, comparison to indirect calorimetric measurement of VO2 and VCO2 during GV has not bee...

experimental investigation of power consumption, mass transfer coefficient and flow regime in gas-liquid dispersion systems

Argentine ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) trail pheromone enhances consumption of liquid sucrose solution.

We investigated whether the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), trail pheromone, Z9-16:Ald, could enhance recruitment to and consumption of liquid sucrose solutions. All tests were done as paired comparisons with a 10% sucrose solution as food. In the laboratory, mixing 20 microl of a 10-microg/ml solution of the pheromone with 50 microl of the 10% sucrose solution increased the number of...

A simple system for nutritional studies with chronic consumption of liquid diet in rats.

A feeding system allowing liquid diet distribution to rats without any loss by evaporation is described. A liquid diet stirred continuously is offered to rats in water bottles. The diet is made available to the animals without any clotting throughout the 24-h period. Such a system could be applied to alcohol administration.
