OBJECTIVE This experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of rapeseed meal (RSM) supplementation in weaning pig diet on growth performance, blood profile, carcass characteristics and economic analysis on weaning to finishing pigs. METHODS A total of 120 cross bred ([Yorkshire×Landrace]×Duroc) weaning pigs were allotted to 5 treatments in a randomized complete block design. Each tre...

purpose: to evaluate the influence of different confounding factors on the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection for refractory diabetic macular edema. methods: in a prospective placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, 88 eyes with refractory diabetic macular edema were randomly assigned into two groups including 45 in the treatment group (4 mg intravitreal triamcinolone...

previous work by other investigators indicates a direct relation between the amount of protein in the diet and the level of urea in the blood . however, the present report shows that the type of protein , apart from its level in the ration , also has an effect on blood urea concentrations. when adult male or female rats of two strains were fed a ration in which the only source of protein was wh...

negative energy balance in pregnant ewes during last two month of gestation could result in fatal pregnancy toxemia and affects ewe and lamb health. the understanding of variations of energy related metabolites during this critical period may cast light upon to a better management of the situation. this study describes the variations of serum energy related biochemical metabolites at a period o...

Cardiovascular and other blood related diseases are fast replacing communicable diseases; therefore there is need to constantly monitor our specific deleterious parameters and their associates. In this work, blood samples were collected to determine biochemical parameters: total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoproteincholesterol (HDL C), low density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL-C), very low d...

Hypertonic solutions play an important role in the treatment of tissue edema. Following the induction of experimental vasogenic brain edema by occlusion of the common carotid arteries in eight rabbits, the effect of hypertonic lactated Ringer's solution (subjects), vs. isotonic lactated Ringer's solution (control), was studied on blood pressure, electrolyte (sodium, potassium, and calcium) ...

Introduction: The long time use of opium has some effects on serums biochemical factors, the determination of this variation is a new approach in understanding off addiction and relive of drug abuser health. Hence in this study, these indicators in person who were withdrawing of opium have been studied. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study bloods biochemical factors such as fast...

The role of homocysteine role in inflammation and malignancy has been studied experimentally. Some researchers suggest that a relationship exists between pancreatitis and homocystinuria, possibly being secondary to occlusive vascular disease of the pancreas. To date, plasma homocysteine levels in pancreatic disease have not been studied. We aimed to analyze the homocysteine status in patients w...

In prevention stage, comparing with normal control group, triglycerides, blood sugar (BG), 24-hour urinary protein and cholesterol (CHO) were higher in T2DM group, but weight and urea nitrogen (BUN) was less in it. 24-hour urinary protein and cholesterol (CHO) were higher in T2DM group than the intervention group. 24-hour urinary protein and BG in the intervention group were higher than normal ...
