The study was conducted to determine a suitable feed for the desirable growth of riverine catfish Rita rita (Hamilton) from January 2006 to December 2006. The experiment had three treatments with three replicates. Nine chambers of the raceway each of size 1.83 × 1.12 sq meter were used. Local prawn, chicken viscera and commercially available formulated feed (CP) were supplied in treatment T1, T...

background urinary tract infections (utis) are among the most commonly bacterial infections in clinical practice.almost half of all women experience at least one urinary tract infection in their lifetime. this study compared efficacy and safety of 3-day and 7-day ciprofloxacin regimen for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women. patients and methods a total of 76 patient...


 setacea seeds without aril, were submitted to pre-germination treatments: T1(control); T2 (pre-soaking in Promalin® solution [gibberellin (GA4+7) + N-(phenylmethyl)-1H-purine 6-amine (6-benzyladenine) both at a concentration of 18.8 g.L-1] bainMarie, 45 °C/20 min.; T3 (osmopriming with KNO3 2.6g.L-1 H2O, 25 °C/1 day, aeration); T4 2.6g.L- 1 °C/2 days, T5 (T3 followed by T2) and T6 (T4 T2...

The improvement of techniques for the mass rearing predators in laboratory, including age mating is important to obtain largest number individuals biological control programs. purpose this study was evaluate females’ fecundity predator Podisus fuscescens (Dallas, 1851) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) with different pre-mating periods. females were mated immediately after emergence (T1) or one (T2), t...

Mouse models show that experimental stress mimicking prolonged life-stress exposure enhances neurogenic inflammation, induces adaptive immunity cytokine-imbalance characterized by a shift to Type 1 T-helper cell cytokines and increases apoptosis of epithelial cells. This affects hair growth in otherwise healthy animals. In this study, we investigate whether a prolonged naturalistic life-stress ...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques have been used to determine the spin-lattice, T1, and the spin-spin, T2, relaxation times in three phantoms with compositions simulating the T1 and T2 values of human tissues. Some methods of analysis were used in order to obtain the relaxation time maps. It has been shown that reliable results can be also obtained by using approximating methods of in...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increased T2 relaxation times in the ipsilateral hippocampus are present in patients with hippocampal sclerosis. Visual assessment of T2-weighted images of these patients suggests increased signal intensity in the anterior temporal lobe as well. Our aim was to assess hippocampal and anterior temporal T2 relaxation times in patients with partial epilepsy by using a new T2-...
