Background: Cobalt (Co) is an essential trace element for mammals required for the synthesis of vitamin B12. It is not a cumulative toxin but chronic exposure induces negative effects on the organism. It was proven that cobalt passes via placenta appearing in the fetal blood and amniotic fluid and it is shown to possess an embryotoxic effect. Also, chromium (Cr) is recognized as a trace element...

In this study, a method using liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is described for the analysis of the plant growth regulator chlormequat (CCC) in human urine. Analysis was carried out using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) in the positive ion mode. [(2)H(4)] labeled CCC as internal standard (IS) was used for quantification of CCC. The limit of detection (LOD)...

conclusions ferric chloride is an effective haemostatic agent in controlling liver parenchymal tissue hemorrhage in an animal model. results the hemostasis time of ferric chloride concentration groups was significantly less than that of the control group (p value < 0.001). the pathologic examination showed the highest frequency of low grade inflammation based on the defined pathological grading...

introduction: pomegranate (punica granatum l.) belong to punicaceae family is native to iran and grown extensively in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. pomegranate is also important in human medicine and its components have a wide range of clinical applications. cracking causes a major fruit loss, which is a serious commercial loss to farmers. fruit cracking, seems to be a problem that less...

two hundred and forty hubbard classic broiler chicks were used in a 35 day trial at chittagong veterinary and animal science university farm, bangladesh to study the effects of supplemental choline chloride on performance parameters, carcass characteristics and their association in commercial broiler. all birds had free access to ad libitum feeding. birds were fed four types of diet i.e. diet w...

The isolated rectal gland of Squalus acanthias was stimulated to secrete chloride against an electrical and a chemical gradient when perfused in vitro by theophylline and/or dibutyryl cyclic AMP. Chloride secretion was depressed by ouabain which inhibits Na-K-ATPase. Thiocyanate and furosemide also inhibited chloride secretion but ethoxzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, did not. Chloride...

functional trimethylsilylacetylenes 2(a-i) with different functional groups were synthesized from their corresponding acyl chloride (1) in good yields.
