Two hours before presentation the filly showed signs of depression and reluctance to move. Physical examination revealed an increased heart rate (80 beats/min) and respiratory rate (40 breaths /min) and reduced gastrointestinal motility on auscultation of the abdomen....

The challenges of soil degradation and climate change have led to the emergence Conservation Agriculture (CA) as a sustainable alternative tillage-based agriculture systems. Despite recognition positive impacts on health, CA adoption in Africa has remained low. Previous health studies mainly focused ‘scientific’ measurements, without consideration local knowledge, which influences how farmers i...

 Methodology: Fifty (50) male Wistar rats were used in this study; they assigned into 10 groups five animals each respective received a standard rat diet drinking water ...

The role of soil microorganisms in the biogeochemical process and nutrient cycling is critical colossally impacted by agronomic management practices. In order to establish climate-smart precision land leveling practices cereal based cropping systems, comprehension bacterial local area supplement dynamics under differentiating most extreme significance. Climate smart agriculture (CSA) are gainin...

This note is to point out and correct an error in Sezer et al. (2011). İn the paper (Sezer et al. 2011), the authors mention “ANFIS model has not been used for landslide susceptibility mapping previously”.

The present study was designed to investigate the ameliorating effect of aqueous extract of C. dactylon on carbofuran induced oxidative stress (OS) and alterations in the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the brain of rats. Vitamin C was used as a positive control. Wistar rats were administered with single sub-acute oral dose (1.6 mgkg-1 b.wt.) of carbofuran for 24 h. The OS parameters...

OBJECTIVES Rapamycin is an immunosuppressant compound with a broad spectrum of pharmaco-logical activities.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of rapamycin on testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-two adult male Wistar rats we...

AIM To determine if reported lower plasma concentrations of artemisinin derivatives for malaria in pregnancy result from reduced oral bioavailability, expanded volume of distribution or increased clearance. METHODS In a sequentially assigned crossover treatment study, pregnant women with uncomplicated falciparum malaria received i.v. artesunate (i.v. ARS) (4mgkg(-1) ) on the first day and ora...
