Because there have been reports that factor IX concentrate is less immunosuppressive and therefore factor IX users have less immunologic aberrations, we have studied a group of 22 patients with hemophilia B and six patients with factor VIII deficiency and high titer inhibitors with respect to lymphocyte numbers and function, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serology, and factor usage. This gr...

The main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of incorporation of graded levels of Phalaris minor seeds (a weed in wheat fields) in the concentrate mixture on nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation pattern. Maize grain based conventional concentrate mixture was prepared and maize grains in the concentrate mixture were replaced by P. minor seeds at graded levels of...

Desalination of seawater, brackish water, and reclaimed water is increasingly utilized worldwide to augment and diversify fresh water sources. The lack of economically and ecologically feasible concentrate management options, however, is a major barrier to widespread implementation of desalination, in particular at inland sites. This paper critically reviews strategies and technologies for conc...

Pregnant cows were successfully hyperimmunized with all four human rotavirus serotypes, resulting in a 100-fold increase in neutralizing milk antibody titers over those of controls. Milk antibodies were isolated batchwise from 1,000 kg of pooled milk for the first 10 lactation days, yielding 10 kg of freeze-dried milk immunoglobulin concentrate consisting of 50% bovine milk immunoglobulins. Mil...

Phrynoderma (toad-skin) is the name given to a papulo-follicular dermatosis commonly seen in malnourished individuals (Nicholls, 1933). During recent years considerable attention has been paid by nutrition workers to the study of the condition. A brief review of the literature on the subject and an account of its clinical and anatomical features have been given in a previous communication (Radh...

The glutathione antioxidant system is foremost among the cellular protective mechanisms. Depletion of this small molecule is a common consequence of increased formation of reactive oxygen species during increased cellular activities. This phenomenon can occur in the lymphocytes during the development of the immune response and in the muscular cells during strenuous exercise. It is not surprisin...

Removal of pesticides from membrane system concentrates is studied. Our aim was to obtain a concentrate composition similar to its source by removing mainly the pesticides and natur al organic matter by 75 to 85%. Conventional processes used for surface water treatment; i.e. oxidation by ozone, adsorption and clarification, were tested for this purpose. Several experiments, using batch systems ...

The influence of limited proteolysis of soy protein concentrate on protein extractability, the composition of the extractable proteins, their emulsifying properties and some nutritional properties were investigated. Traditional concentrate (alcohol leached concentrate) was hydrolyzed using trypsin and pepsin as hydrolytic agents. Significant differences in extractable protein composition betwee...

The low intake and digestibility of low-quality roughages such as mature forages or crop residues often results in a digestible energy intake insufficient for a desired level of production. One alternative to increase digestible energy intake is to provide supplementary concentrates of high digestibility. ‘ Associative effects on forage fibre digestion may occur when roughage and concentrate ar...
