OBJECTIVE Microwaves are used in one method of physical therapy and can increase muscle tissue temperature which is useful for improving muscle, tendon and bone injuries. In the study, we sought to determine whether titanium alloy internal fixations influence apoptosis in tissues subjected to microwave treatments at 2,450 MHz and 40 W during the healing of fractures because this issue is not ye...

After more than 30 years of research and 30 failed clinical trials with as many different treatments, progesterone is the first agent to demonstrate robust clinical efficacy as a treatment for traumatic brain injuries. It is currently being investigated in two, independent phase III clinical trials in hospital settings; however, it presents a formidable solubility challenge that has so far prev...

Abstract Fifty cow-calf pairs were used to investigate the influence of trace mineral (TM) source on reproductive performance following embryo transfer. Cows blocked by BW and breed sorted into pens containing 5 pairs. Each group was randomly assigned one treatments: 1) Organic TM (OTM): 75 mg Cu from proteinate, 8 Co 105 Mn 3 Se Sel-Plex, 220 Zn animal-1∙d-1; 2) Inorganic (ITM): 255 sulfate, 2...

Twelve 5-year-old beef steers, with an average weight of 2000 lbs., fitted rumen canulae were used in a 4 × incomplete Latin square design to examine the impact direct fed microbial Propionibacterium acidipropionici CP 88 (PA) on fermentation characteristics, vitro CH4, CO2, and N2 production, vivo CH4 CO2 production. All steers housed same pen equipped eight GrowSafe feeding stations monitor i...

Mitochondrial diseases are an unusually genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous group of disorders, which are extremely challenging to treat. Currently, apart from supportive therapy, there are no effective treatments for the vast majority of mitochondrial diseases. Huge scientific effort, however, is being put into understanding the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial disease pathology an...

Placental dysfunction underlies major obstetric diseases such as pre-eclampsia and fetal growth restriction (FGR). Whilst there has been a little progress in prophylaxis, there are still no treatments for placental dysfunction in normal obstetric practice. However, a combination of increasingly well-described in vitro systems for studying the human placenta, together with the availability of mo...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an acquired immune-mediated disorder of the peripheral nervous system. This clinically heterogeneous neurological closely related to Guillain–Barré syndrome and considered chronic counterpart that acute disease. Currently available treatments are mostly empirical; they include corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulins, plasma exchan...

an eleven month old filly was referred to the research and teaching hospital of the faculty of veterinary medicine at the university of tehran. the animal presented a three-week history of diarrhea and previous treatments had failed to effect a recovery. based on the history, clinical findings and results of laboratory investigations, it was assumed that a gastrointestinal disorder was affectin...

Twenty-four 35-day-old lambs were distributed to a completely randomized design with 3 treatments to study the effects of number of feeding buckets per pen on performance, haematology and behaviour indicators. Treatments consisted of 8 (T1), 4 (T2) or 2 (T3) feeding buckets/pen (8 lambs/pen). During the experiment, concentrate was fed at 08:30 in individual feeders. Daily dry matter intake (DMI...

Four catheterized crossbred (Y x H) barrows were used in a 4 x 4 latin square arrangement of treatments in a completely randomized block design, to determine the effect of source on copper uptake as determined by serum Cu concentration changes over a 7.5-hr sampling period. Dietary treatments were: (A) basal with no added Cu, (B) basal + 5.2 mg Cu (from CuSO4)/kg of diet, (C) basal + 5.2 mg Cu ...
