AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to find easier way of home care while obviating the colostomy before single stage pull through operation. MATERIALS AND METHODS From August 2005 to December 2006, eight cases of neonatal Hirschsprung disease were treated. Mean age 4.5 (2-6) day/old with absent anorectal inhibitory reflex, rectosigmiod disease in Barium enema, positive Acetylcholine...

OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of the tympanic membrane thermometer for use with pregnant women. DESIGN Cross-sectional descriptive study. SETTING A major medical center in the midwestern United States. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-three hospitalized, afebrile pregnant women. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Tympanic membrane thermometers and glass mercury thermometers were used to measure body temperatu...

This study experimentally investigates the effect of processing parameters on mechanical properties of injection molded copolymer. This paper presents an experimental study on the effects of processing parameters including melt temperature, injection pressure and amount preliminary materials on tensile strength of injection molded copolymer PP-WGRT. Polypropylene (PP - supplied by T.P.C of Iran...

The effect of endotoxin on the body temperature of mice was studied in animals housed without bedding at an environmental temperature of 15 C. Rectal temperatures were measured during the initial 3 to 5 hr of exposure. Doses of endotoxin ranging from 0.01 to 1 ld(50), as determined for mice maintained at 25 C, produce a hypothermia in proportion to dose. Concurrent injection of tryptophan magni...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the toxic, analgesic and clinical effects associated with intrathecal administration of propofol in sheep. Five, healthy adult non-pregnant Awassi sheep were used in the study. Propofol (2.85 mg/kg; n = 4) or normal saline (control, n = 1) was administered into the subarachnoid space at the lumbosacral intervertebral junction. Animals were assessed cl...

in many reservoirs, after water flooding, a large volume of oil is still left behind. hot water injection is the most basic type of thermal recovery which increase recovery by improved sweep efficiency and thermal expansion of crude.in the present work, the effects of injection rate and the temperature of the injected water were surveyed by using core flooding apparatus. water flooding was perf...

Norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (Epi) concentrations in arterial plasma and in skin tissue were measured chromatographically before and after external cooling. Urethan-anesthetized rats were cooled either slowly (0.004-0.006°C/s) or rapidly (0.03- 0.05°C/s). Blood samples were drawn three times from each animal: 1) before cooling and at a rectal temperature decreased 2) by 0.5°C and 3) by 3...

gamma aminobutyric acid (gaba) is one of the inhibitory neurotransmitters that may have the ability torelieve the intensity of stress. heat stress remains a major threat for duck production in summer in most areas of china. the current study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary gaba on performanceparameters and plasma metabolites of heat exposed ducks. two thousand cherry valley d...
