Because microfloral content of stallion semen tends to be high, and strains may be resistant to commonly used antibiotics, amikacin was tested with stallion semen and compared with bull semen. Nine ejaculates to stallion semen were incubated at 37 C in egg yolk-tris extender for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h in the presence of amikacin concentrations of 0, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000 and 10,000 microgram...

Fermentation is critical for developing coffee’s physicochemical properties. This study aimed to assess the differences in quality traits between fermented and unfermented coffee with four grinding sizes of powder using multiple digital technologies. A total N = 2 treatments—(i) dry processing (ii) wet fermentation—with levels (250, 350, 550, 750 µm) were analysed near-infrared spectrometry (NI...

Dear Editor Boric acid (BA) is used in topical disinfectants and insecticides, at concentrations up to 99%. Potential lethal doses are 3 g to 6 g in infants and 15 g to 20 g in adults. Clinical manifestations of BA toxicity include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, seizure, and coma. Death from BA overdose results from circulatory collapse or kidney failure. No case of high-...

able amounts of radiolabeled dextran in the plasma protein fraction [15]. Consequently, we do not think this mechanism plays a substantial role in producing the lower than expected dextran concentrations seen in the present study. The dextran we used had a mean molecular mass of 70 000 Da. Thus, some quantity of lower-molecular-mass dextran could have leaked out of the vascular space and distri...

Postoperative spinal patients remain a challenge for provision of postoperative analgesia. Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) is a major method in reducing the severe pain after the surgery in our institution, but some adverse effects prevent the use of adequate dosage opioids.This study was determined using the probit analysis to investigate the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine (DE...

Data on mycoses known to be imported into the United Kingdom are sparse. Estimates on the prevalence of fungal infections have to be based on indirect and incomplete figures, obtained from isolation figures and reports of individual cases to co-ordinating centres such as the Mycological Reference Laboratory and the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre of the Public Health Laboratory Service...

A new intramuscular iron preparation (Ferastral) permitting high doses of iron (500 mg) to be given in two simultaneous of 250 mg, was tested in 20 courses given to 11 patients with iron deficiency anaemia. The total iron doses given ranged from 1 000-2 500 mg. The amount injected was calculated from the degree of haemoglobin deficiency. Additional 500-1 000 mg iron were given to fill the depot...

BACKGROUND Biocontrol strategies are of significant concern for their application in crops. Various green practices have been designed, but almost all them had delivery constraints. In particular, to design biocontrol against Sclerotium oryzae flooded rice fields, the active agent should be retained on plant leaves by spreading application, nevertheless direct onto water produces dilution. An e...
