This study aims to obtain the best lignin content, ligninase enzyme activity and in vitro digestibility value of fermented sugarcane shoots using Pleurotus ostreatus Aspergillus oryzae at different fermentation times. The research process is divided into 2 stages. Stage 1 treatment samples include A1B1 = Sugarcane with for 14 days; A1B2 21 A1B3 28 A2B1 A2B2 A2B3 days. design used a completely r...

in order to study the effect of different levels of β-mannanase enzyme on the performance, blood parameters and carcass characteristics of broiler chicks (arbor acres), an experiment was conducted with 240 checks (44.6 grams average weight) under a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications and 12 checks per each replicate. β-mannanase enzyme with the levels of zero (t1 c...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether improved nasal breathing changes the quality of life in snoring men and improves the female sleeping partners' well-being in the morning. DESIGN During 1 month, 42 heavily snoring men slept with a nostril dilator. Before and after 1 month, the snorers rated their daytime tiredness and completed the Nottingham Health Profile questionnaire. Female sleeping partners...

Introduction: Several studies have reported anti-anxiety effects of morphine in adult rats. The present study examined the effect of chronic morphine injections in infancy and before puberty on anxiety-like behavior in immature rats. Methods: Neonate rats (n=35) were randomly chosen and divided into two groups. On postnatal days 8-14, one group received saline and the other one received mor...

The effect of fetal and maternal genotype on embryo survival was studied in two lines of mice from the same base population: line E, selected for high embryo survival, and line CN-, selected for small litter size. Embryos were collected at 3.5 days postcoitus from normally mated donors of both lines and were transferred to the uteri of 2.5-day pseudopregnant recipients from each line. The numbe...

In-transit supply of nutrients and water supplement is essential to maintaining good chick quality and wellbeing during long, international shipments. Although chicks require light to promote ingestion of nutrients, supply of continuous in-transit lighting is impractical. This study compared four intermittent lighting regimens of 1L:5D, 5L:10D,10L:10D, and 5L:15D applied to a three-day simulate...

Patients with uncontrolled hemorrhage require massive transfusion therapy and consume a large fraction of blood bank resources. Institutional guidelines have been established for treatment, but early identification and prevention in susceptible patients remains challenging. Uncontrolled hemorrhage was defined as meeting institutional guidelines for recombinant FVIIa administration. Patients who...
