the study was conducted at haramaya university poultry farm to evaluate the effects of locally processed fish waste meal (fwm) in the diet of white leghorn layers on the performance and hatchability, egg quality, sensory flavor and profitability of the rations. one hundred eighty chickens at five months of age were randomly distributed (15 layers per each 12 pens). the pens were randomly assign...

Purpose to examine the effect of a 4-day NO3- loading protocol on the submaximal oxygen cost of both low fit and high fit participants at five different exercise intensities. Methods participants were initially assigned to a placebo (PL; negligible NO3-) or inorganic nitrate-rich (NR; 6.2 mmol nitrate/day) group; double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover. Participants completed three trials...

Background Intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) identified by CMR is an established prognostic marker following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but remains relatively underused in the clinical setting. Detection of IMH by T2-weighted or T2* CMR can be limited by long breath hold times and sensitivity to artefacts, especially at 3 Tesla. Alternative methods that can detect IMH with shorter breath...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo for the characterization of tissue changes associated with acute myocardial rejection after cardiac transplantation. Of 15 dogs that underwent heterotopic cardiac transplantation, six served as untreated controls, and nine received immunosuppressive therapy (25 mg/kg/day cyclosporine, 1 mg/kg/day...

The effect of ascorbic acid (AA) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) supplementation on aflatoxicosis in broiler chickens (1 to 42 days of age) was investigated (250, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm for AA and BHA) in diet containing 1 ppm total aflatoxin (AF: 76.45% AFB1, 10.52% AFB2, 9.89% AFG1 and 3.14% AFG2). A total of 300 day-old broiler chicks were divided into ten treatment groups (T1=control; T2...

BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is generally an effective method of reducing locally advanced malignant breast lesions before surgery; assessing the tumor response to NAC is crucial for patient management. T2 relaxation times can reflect biological state of lesions, may prove useful to assess the response to NAC. OBJECTIVES To investigate the lesion T2 relaxation times change in bre...

the aim of this study was to investigate the reproducibility of natural head position (nhp) at different times of the day and to compare the reproducibility of the initial photographs with 6-month repeat photographs.the participants in this prospective study were seventy 14 to 50-year-old individuals. each participant was photographed with a digital camera twice, at three different times of the...
