The watermelon rind contained 60% higher citrulline than the albedo. Citrulline has benefit of lowering blood pressure.This study aimed to determine effect heating time (albedo) on amino acids, chemical properties (proximate), and organoleptic properties. This conducted using a randomized complete block design (RCBD). treatment wear for 35, 40, 45, 50 minutes. results showed that had no signifi...

BACKGROUND Maternal overweight and obesity increase risks of pregnancy and delivery complications and neonatal mortality, but the mechanisms are unclear. The objective of the study was to investigate associations between maternal body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy and severe asphyxia-related outcomes in infants delivered at term (≥37 weeks). METHODS AND FINDINGS A nation-wide Swedish co...

The mean circulatory pressure (Pmc) in dogs anesthetized with chloralose-urethane was estimated from 0.5 to 150 minutes after hemorrhages of 0, 17, or 34 ml/kg, or that volume giving an arterial pressure (Pa) of 40 mm Hg. The Pmc was determined by fibrillating the heart and then rapidly pumping blood from aorta to vena cava until Pa=venous pressure (Pv)=Pmc. Within about 10 seconds, the heart w...

PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of visualizing noninvasively the physiologic flow of pancreatic juice by using serial magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) with a spatially selective inversion-recovery (IR) pulse in volunteers and patients with pancreatic disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was approved by the institutional review board, and informed consent was obtained. ...

BACKGROUND An effective pain therapy to block or modify the physiological responses to stress has become an essential component of modern pediatric anesthesia and surgical practice. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to compare the analgesic effects of the spray forms of; lidocaine, morphine, ketamine, and normal saline on post-tonsillectomy pain scores in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS ...

the aim of this investigation is to compare the effect of applying two transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) current with different frequencies (2 hz & 100 hz) on hoffmann reflex recorded from gastrosoleus muscle of healthy people. forty female subjects between 20 to 30 years of age were participated in this quasi-experimental design. twenty of them were exposed to the 100 hz curre...

The purpose of this study was to assess the degree, time sequence, and biochemical correlates of hypothermic protection against ischemic acute renal failure. Rats subjected to 40 minutes of bilateral renal artery occlusion (RAO) were made mildly hypothermic (32 degrees-33 degrees C, by cold saline peritoneal lavage) during the following time periods: 1) RAO only, 2) reperfusion only (beginning ...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects consuming either591.5 mL water or 591.5 isovolumic protein shake (160 kcal, 3 g fat, 4 carbohydrate, 30 protein) on indices body composition. Methods: Forty-two recreationally active men (n=13) and women (n=29) (mean±SD – height 168±10 cm, age 22±5 yr, mass 69.8±11.2 kg) consumed a in randomized, crossover study. Body compositio...
