Eighteen multiparous lactating grazing Holstein cows, 9 ruminally cannulated, average 136.1 +/- 14.6 days in milk, were randomly assigned to three treatments consisting of water containing different levels of total dissolved solids (TDS; mg/l): Treatment 1 = 1,000; Treatment 2 = 5,000 and Treatment 3 = 10,000, at the Experimental Dairy Unit at Rafaela Experimental Station (31 degrees 11'S latit...

Tardive syndromes (TDS) are a group of movement disorders. Tardive dyskinesia is the best-known type of TDS. Another type of TDS is tardive dystonia. TDS cause body parts to move uncontrollably. Tardive dyskinesia and tardive dystonia are caused by dopamine receptor blocking agents, mostly antipsychotics but occasionally antidepressants (Jankovic 1995). However, tardive dystonia associated with...

Demanding public opinion for providing safe drinking water is now an increasing constant pressure on the authorities concerned to prevent the human health from contaminated drinking water. Hence latest techniques are employed to predict the critical parameters like, pH, chlorine, turbidity, TDS, and Electrical conductivity, in the distribution systems. In this study Radial Basis Function RBF mo...

It has been hypothesized that poor semen quality, testis cancer, undescended testis and hypospadias are symptoms of one underlying entity, the so-called testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS). TDS was suggested to be a result of disruption of embryonal programming and gonadal development during foetal life and as aetiological factor, an impact of adverse environmental factors such as hormone disr...

A low testosterone [hypogonadism or testosterone deficiency syndrome (TDS)] may be present in 30% of men and present in a number of different ways. One of the problems in detecting TDS is the lack of awareness of its existence amongst the general medical community including cardiologists. In addition, the signs and symptoms may unhelpfully not be specific to TDS (Table 1). With the accumulating...

Measurement precision is often required in the process of material parameter extraction. This fact is applicable to terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), which is able to determine the optical/dielectric constants of material in the T-ray regime. Essentially, an ultrafast-pulsed THz-TDS system is composed of several mechanical, optical, and electronic parts, each of which is limited in ...

OBJECTIVE The 7th edition of AJCC staging manual implicitly states that only T1 and T2 lesions that lack regional lymph node metastasis but have tumor deposit(s) will be classified in addition as N1c, though it is not consistent in that pN1c is also an option for pT3/T4a tumors in the staging table. Nevertheless, in this TNM classification, how to classify tumor deposits (TDs) in colorectal can...

BACKGROUND In preclinical models, antagonism of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) reduces transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations (TLOSRs) and increases LOS pressure. This study evaluated the effect of ADX10059, a potent, selective, negative allosteric modulator of mGluR5, on oesophageal pH-metry and clinical symptoms in GORD. METHODS Two groups of patients with GORD (n = 1...

BACKGROUND Proton beam therapy (PBT) achieves good local control for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and toxicity tends to be lower than for photon radiotherapy. Focal liver parenchymal damage in radiotherapy is described as the focal liver reaction (FLR); the threshold doses (TDs) for FLR in the background liver have been analyzed in stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy and brachytherapy. T...
