Surface temperatures of hoofs of calves given toxic anion fractions of tall fescue were measured with an infrared sensitive camera. These changes expressed in terms of a weighted average coronary band temperature relate to clinical signs of fescue foot. The weighted average coronary band temperature values for control calves given saline solution were 27 to 31 C; those values of test calves giv...

1. By introducing intravenously into dogs a solution of 5 per cent. ether in normal saline (0.9 per cent.), a satisfactory surgical anesthesia can be produced. 2. Associated with this anesthesia a glycosuria occurs in healthy adult dogs fed on a meat diet. 3. Normal saline (0.9 per cent.) introduced in exactly the same manner does not cause a glycosuria. 4. The glycosuria is, in general, associ...

The present experiment was aimed at assessing the application of neostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) pseudo-irreversible inhibitor with poor penetration through the hematoencephalitic barrier, and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). The experiment was done to evaluate their ability to modulate an infectious disease: tularemia. Mice infected with Franciselle tularensis and exposed ...

a week. The author recommends a dose of up to 4 grains intravenously, and also mentions a few cases of influenzal broncho-pneumonia treated with iodine given intravenously in saline solution. Normal saline is undoubtedly a better diluent than simple water inasmuch as it counteracts the irritation caused by nascent iodine. With this diluent I gave several injections into my left dorsal radial ve...

Methods: Eighty bovine pulp fragments were prepared, and their weight was determined using a precision balance. Each pulp fragment was immersed for 2 hours in a solution/mixture that was based on the following groups: G1 – saline solution; G2 – 0.5% NaOCl; G3 – 1.0% NaOCl; G4 – 2.5% NaOCl; G5 – 17% EDTA; G6 – 0.5% NaOCl+17% EDTA; G7 – 1.0% NaOCl+ 17% EDTA; and G8 – 2.5% NaOCl+17% EDTA. The fina...

Memory of a novel object was examined in saline (Sal) and scopolamine (Scopo) treated rats (1.0 mg/kg). Scopo rats showed lower overall exploration time than Sal rats, resulting mainly from shorter durations per contact. In a second exposure to the same object, after 1 min or 20 min interval, both groups displayed marked decrease of exploration indicating between-session habituation. The shorte...
