this study investigated the effects of coenzyme q10 (coq10) supplementation on hematological, enzymes activities and biochemical parameters in broilers with pulmonary hypertension syndrome (phs).two hundred and forty 1-d-old ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 3 groups with 4 replicates. from d 14, the diets were supplemented with coq10 at levels of 0, 20 and 40 mg/kg, res...

this study was conducted to assay the use of saturejahortensis l. (savory) essential oil in the drinking water on broiler production and blood glucose, uric acid, creatinin and cholesterol. four hundred and twenty day old broiler chickens (ross 308) was used in a completely randomized design with 6 treatments and 5 replicate. experimental treatments included: 1) control, 2) tween (a solvent for...

background: in the current iranian poultry industry, antibiotics are the most frequently used additive in poultry feeds to increase productivity. the negative effects on human health, resulting from the consumption of chicken whose feeds contain antibiotics, makes finding an appropriate alternative of great importance. as a result of their nature, herbal extracts could be specifically considere...

Introduction: The relationship between elevated level of gas and particulate pollutants with increased mortality resulting from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases has been presented in epidemiological studies. Although the principal mechanisms of diseases are still unknown, inflammatory and homeostatic processes have been known to be related to this issue. Accordingly, this study was condu...

Spirometric studies and arterial blood gas analyses were statistically evaluated in 75 patients with chronic airways obstruction to determine whether any spirometric parameters can predict arterial blood gas status. Radioactive lung scans, both ventilation (using '33Xe gas) and perfusion (using '31-MAA), were performed in selected patients. In all 75 patients as one group, no spirometric parame...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate umbilical cord blood CD33 and erythropoietin (EPO) levels of pregnants with abnormal umbilical and uterine artery doppler waveforms and to compare with normal pregnancies. Materials and Methods: Total 40 pregnant women were included in this study. Of these 40 women, while 20 patients had abnormal umbilical and uterine artery doppler waveforms, t...

Natural gas storage process in aquifer, due to fluid flow behavior of gas and water in the porous medium and because of their contact with each other under reservoir conditions, faces several challenges. Therefore, there should be a clear understanding of the injected gas behavior before and after the injection into the reservoir. This research simulates the natural gas storage in aquifer by us...

background: substitution of arterial with venous blood samples to estimate blood gas status is highly preferable due to practical and safety concerns. numerous studies support the substitution of arterial by venous blood samples, reporting strong correlations between arterial and venous values. this study further investigated the predictive ability of venous blood samples for arterial acid-base...
