Two studies were conducted utilizing 270 chickens to evaluate the efficacy of yeast culture (YC) for both broiler and layer ayian types. In the first experiment, three dietary levels (0, 1.25, 2.50 percent) of YC were included in a nutritionally complete ration and fed to 14-day-old broiler chicks for 8 days. Body weight gain, feed consumption (g) and feed efficiency were not influenced by yeas...

. to investigate the effect of anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia on the nerve fiber layer thickness. this cross-sectional study was done on 54 amblyopic subjects, equally in both strabismic and anisometropic groups. the thickness otonerve fiber layer measured in superior, inferior, nasal, temporal quadrants and as a whole in both eyes of both groups. the means of thickness were compared in...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of skin biopsy in nitrofurantoin peripheral neuropathy. DESIGN We describe the clinical features and skin biopsies of 2 cases of non-length-dependent small-fiber neuropathy/ganglionopathy attributable to nitrofurantoin. SETTING Clinical evaluation and skin biopsies were performed at a tertiary teaching hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. PATIENTS A 59-year-o...

The waste artificial larval rearing media of New World screwworms, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) were evaluated to determine their effectiveness as oviposition attractants. Various concentrations of waste larval media resulting from rearing screwworm larvae in gel and cellulose fiber-based artificial diets tested over a 4-wk period attracted varying number of gravid screwworm flies to ovip...

In total, 120 one-day-old female Ross 308 broilers were used to evaluate the effect of including oat hulls (OH), sugar beet pulp (SBP), and pea hulls (PH) at levels of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% in the diet on lipid metabolism of broilers from hatch to 21 d of age. The OH, SBP, and PH contained 0.7, 11.6, and 5.1% soluble fiber and 70.6, 47.4, and 49.6% insoluble fiber, respectively. The control diet c...

Fig. 1 Volume rendered transverse images and manual segmentation (magnified) of the free-running Purkinje fiber network in the LV of a young rabbit heart (left) and an old rabbit heart (right). Lines and arrows in the green and red boxes indicate where sectioning occurred and viewer was located. Interseptal thickness is approximately 3.93 mm (young) and 4.82 mm (old). I: ventricular interseptum...

Foreign body aspiration is a potentially life-threatening event especially in those who are younger than 5 years old. Aspiration could be presented as a spectrum, ranging from absolutely asymptomatic event to more sever events including choking, respiratory distress and cyanosis or even death. Although foreign bodies in lung may not be visualized on X-ray, X-ray radiography is considered as a f...

Using a quantitative microscopic technique, we quantitated right and left ventricular interstitial tissue space vs. myocardial fiber space in 4 groups of autopsied hearts: 1) 5 normal hearts; 2) 5 hearts from infants _??_ 2 years old with tetralogy of Fallot; 3) 10 hearts from children 21/2-13 years old with tetralogy of Fallot, and 4) 5 hearts from adult patients _??_20 years old with tetralog...
