Weanling pigs tend to avoid wind, and suckling piglets are thought to be more sensitive to wind than weanlings, owing to their thinner s.c. fat layer. We developed a crush-reducing device based on the anticipated behavior of suckling piglets toward wind and evaluated the performance of the device through field testing. The crush-reducing device consisted of six photo sensors, a controller, six ...

Peripheral nerve regeneration is dependent on the ability of regenerating neurites to migrate through cellular debris and altered extracellular matrix at the injury site, grow along the residual distal nerve sheath conduit, and reinnervate synaptic targets. In cell culture, growth cones of regenerating axons secrete proteases, specifically plasminogen activators (PAs), which are believed to fac...

Rhabdomyolysis constitutes an uncommon cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). A large variety causes with different pathogenic mechanisms may involve skeletal muscles resulting in rhabdomyolysis or without injury. Crush syndrome and unaccustomed physical exertion are the most common rhabdomyolysis. This study reports local cases AKI secondary to that presented a tertiary care centre over period fo...

Changes in L-35S-methionine incorporation into cytoskeletal proteins of the facial nucleus of the rat were studied at various times after unilateral crush or resection of the facial nerve by using 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis and fluorography. We found an increase in labeling of actin and tubulin and a decrease in the 68 kDa and 150 kDa neurofilament polypeptides (200 kDa was not studied)....

Abstract Background Traumatic asphyxia, also called masque ecchymotique, Ollivier’s syndrome, and Perthes is a rare but serious form of chest trauma described for the first time by Ollivier in 1837. The purpose this study to report our experience with two cases traumatic asphyxia discuss their management view relevant literature. Results During 6-year period, author treated 2 (crush) local teac...
