Space flight studies using the Animal Enclosure Module (AEM) make it possible to investigate the role of microgravity on animal physiology and behavior. In this study, we compared the health and well-being of mice housed at different densities in AEM simulators (AEMS), to vivarium shoebox (control) cages (VSBC). A stress assessment battery (SAB) of measures was developed to evaluate mouse healt...

the 60 apparently common carp, cyprinus carpio (mean weight 700g.) divided to two groups (1:control and 2: test) and transferred to 1000 liter indoor fiberglass tanks supplied with static well water, continuous aeration and defined water quality. test group was exposed to 30ppb (low concentration) cadmium as cdcl 2 (merck) control group was without cadmium addition . blood samples were caught r...

Objective(s):Gemifloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic and has shown excellent coverage against a wide variety of microorganisms. In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of gemifloxacin in male swiss albino mice in vivo. Materials and Methods: Three doses of gemifloxacin 25 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg and 75 mg/kg were used intraperitoneally (IP) for the evaluation ...

OBJECTIVE Obesity has been demonstrated to be associated with elevated leukocytes in adults and children. This study assessed the associations between peripheral total and differential leukocyte counts and obesity-related complications in young adults. METHODS 12 obese (median age 21.5 (range 19-28) years, median BMI 35.7 (range 32.0-44.9) kg/m(2)) and 11 normal (median age 23 (range 18-27) y...

The therapeutic effect observed is due presence active ingredients in vegetables. majority our population, especially females, suffers from anemia malnutrition. perseverance this research was explore hematopoietic effects lyophilized beetroot pow...

In October 1991, a 52-year-old white woman with no significant family or exposure history presented with mid-epigastric abdominal and back pain. Her internist found splenomegaly, and a complete blood count showed a white blood cell count (WBC) of 200,000/μL, a hematocrit of 34%, and a platelet count of 73,000/μL. A computed tomography scan demonstrated hepatosplenomegaly. She was later seen by ...
