hemorheology specialists believe that athletes of different sport fields have different hemorheological patterns. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sport field on hemorheological variables following acute aerobic exercise. athletes were divided into three groups of 15 subjects (endurance runners: mean±sd: age 24.6±5.2 yr, bf% 6.8±1.6, bmi 21±1; football players: age 22.5±1....

Both prereduced molten agar and broth and aerobic molten agar and broth were inoculated with blood samples collected from patients with periodontitis, but in otherwise good health, both before and after extraction of two or more teeth. Postoperative blood samples from 23 of 25 patients sampled yielded anaerobic and facultative species. Colony counts from nine samples yielded from less than 1 to...

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of exercise on urine sediment in adolescent soccer players. In 25 15-year-old (range 14.4-15.8 yrs) athletes, urinary protein, osmolality and cytology were analyzed by flow cytometry and automated dipstick analysis before (T(0)), during (T(1)), and after a match (T(2)). All athletes had normal urine analysis and blood pressure at rest, tested before the st...
