AIM The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of supplementation of garlic, ginger and their combination in the diets of broiler chickens and assessment in terms of feed intake, growth performance and economics of feeding. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 240 1-day-old Cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments each with three replicates of 20 chi...

The research aimed to analyze the quality of compost (Ca, Mg, and CEC content) from various C/N ratios dairy goat feces, forage waste, straw. Experimental methods, design used a completely randomized (CRD), using treatment ratio 25 (T1), 30 (T2), 35 (T3), done six times. analysis results were tested with variance Duncan’s test. on rice straw, waste affect content Ca, value compost. For example,...

BACKGROUND Although extensively investigated, the prognostic role of thyroid hormone abnormalities in older participants remains uncertain. We investigated the relationship between thyroid hormones and mortality during hospitalization and in a prolonged follow-up in frail older patients. METHODS A nonconcurrent cohort study was conducted by enrolling 450 participants hospitalized for an acute...

Short-term response to cold promotes a small but significant rise in serum T3 in euthyroid rabbits, where the heart is an important target of T3 action. In this work, we measured changes in sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA2a) and phospholamban (PLB) in hearts of hypo- and hyperthyroid rabbits and compared them with modifications induced by short- and long-term cold exposure. Sh...

BACKGROUND Triiodothyronine levels decrease in infants and children after cardiopulmonary bypass. We tested the primary hypothesis that triiodothyronine (T3) repletion is safe in this population and produces improvements in postoperative clinical outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS The TRICC study was a prospective, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in children younger ...

Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is associated with an inflammatory reaction, as evidenced by elevated inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP). The association between the peak CRP level and long-term outcomes in type B AAD has not been systematically investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the peak CRP level during admission predicts long-term outcomes ...

CONTEXT Levothyroxine (LT4) monotherapy is the standard of care for hypothyroidism. OBJECTIVE To determine whether LT4 at doses that normalize the serum TSH is associated with normal markers of thyroid status. DESIGN Cross-sectional data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001-2012) was used to evaluate 52 clinical parameters. LT4 users were compared to healthy co...

We have previously reported that subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm (SH) is associated with changes in the hormonal profile in the first 24 hours after the event. We proposed that the hormonal changes observed are due to the intense stress to which the patients are exposed. However, the thyroidal hormonal profile is indicative of the presence of a nonthyroidal illness...
