BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency is characterized by recurrent acute attacks of swelling that can be painful and sometimes life-threatening. METHODS We conducted two randomized trials to evaluate nanofiltered C1 inhibitor concentrate in the management of hereditary angioedema. The first study compared nanofiltered C1 inhibitor concentrate with placebo for treatm...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of extruded linseed on milk production,dry matter intake and reproduction performance of 300 holstein lactating cows (35±15 days in milk;41±9/8 kg/day of milk production). cows were placed in a completely randomized design of 2treatments (concentrate containing 7 percent of extruded linseed vs. control), (150 cows pertreatment). cows were ...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding a high-concentrate corn straw (HCS) diet (65% concentrate+35% corn straw) on the epigenetic changes in the mammary tissue of dairy cows in comparison with a low-concentrate corn straw (LCS) diet (46% concentrate+54% corn straw) and with a low-concentrate mixed forage (LMF) diet (46% concentrate+54% mixed forage). EX...

Iron ore concentrate sales in a mineral processing plant appeared a trend of high sulfur, exceeding the sales requirement of 0.3% significantly. To this end, for the sulfide in iron concentrate mainly exists in the form of pyrrhotite, companies with iron minerals and has a high degree of oxidation, we can add flotation agent to the magnetic separation column, and at the same time fill gas for s...

in this study, the effect of retentate and whey protein concentrate in different concentrations on the properties of low fat synbiotic yoghurt was studied. retentate samples containing different concentrations of the three concentrations ( 0.5 , 0.75 and 1 %) and whey protein concentrate ( 0.2 , 0.3 and 0.4 %) were prepared and characterized in terms of physicochemical , rheological and sensory...

food packaging extensively uses plastic films and containers of petroleum-based polymers for their excellent functional properties and competitive price. plastic packaging has become a central focus of waste reduction efforts, particularly in aesthetic terms of damage to flora and fauna. presently, consumers require greater quality and longer shelf lives for their foodstuffs, while they demand ...

The influence of fiber content of hay (low-fiber 47% NDF and high-fiber 62% NDF of DM) and concentrate level (high 50% and low 20% of ration DM) on chewing activity, passage rate and nutrient digestibility were tested on four restrict-fed (11.1 to 13.7 kg DM/d) Holstein cows in late lactation. Aspects of ruminal fermentation and digesta particle size distribution were also investigated on two r...

PURPOSE The mechanism underlying the decline in milk quality during periods of feeding high-concentrate diets to dairy ruminants is not well documented. The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic changes in the liver that contribute to the input of substrate precursors to the mammary gland after feeding a high-concentrate diet to lactating goats for a long period. EXPERIMENTAL DES...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and lactate are endproducts of rumen fermentation and important energy sources for the host ruminant. Because their rapid accumulation results in ruminal acidosis, enhancement of the absorption of SCFA and lactate across reticuloruminal wall is instrumental in increasing energy supply and preventing ruminal acidosis in cattle. This study investigated whether the ...

INTRODUCTION The appropriate strategy for trauma-induced coagulopathy management is under debate. We report the treatment of major trauma using mainly coagulation factor concentrates. METHODS This retrospective analysis included trauma patients who received >or= 5 units of red blood cell concentrate within 24 hours. Coagulation management was guided by thromboelastometry (ROTEM). Fibrinogen c...
