thirty six male chall lambs (four-month old and 26  ±1.5 kg body weight) were randomly assigned into four treatments (nine lambs per treatment) to study the effect of powerfeed® (a commercial mixture made from wheat processing by-product and wheat bran) on weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, serum sodium and potassium concentration and urine ph. lambs in control group were fed with...

a combined electrodeposition-etaas technique has been applied to the analysis of pb, cd, co, ni, cr and mn in biological samples in order to overcome interferences and to minimize sample pretreatment. it requires minimal sample preparation with the electrolysis process aiding partial decomposition of the organic matrix, adequate for the release and deposition of trace elements. in an initial el...

an efficient dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction using tetraalkylammonium bromide coated silver nanoparticles (dllme-agnps) prepared in chloroform has been successfully applied as electrostatic affinity probes to the microextraction and preconcentration of terazosin prior to spectrofluorimetry analysis. this technique is based on a ternary system of solvents, where appropriate amount of mi...

objective(s): the object of the study is to examine the effects of δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) against oxidative stress in the blood and excretion of thc metabolites in urine of type 2 diabetic rats. materials and methods: the control (n=8), thc control (n=6), diabetes (n=8) and diabetes + thc (n=7) groups were created. type 2 diabetes was induced by nicotinamide (na, 85 mg/kg) + streptozotoc...

cobalt is one of the most important constituent present in ceramic industries. glazers are the relevant workers when they are producing blue colored ceramic, causing occupational exposure to such metal. through this study, urinary cobalt was determined in glazers in a ceramic industry when they were producing blue-colored ceramic glazes.in this case-control study, spot urine samples were collec...

glazers are exposed to a variety of heavy metals in the ceramic industry, causing adverse effect on the body systems. cadmium is one of the major raw materials for production of colored glazes. to evaluate occupational exposure to cadmium, spot urine samples were collected from 49 tile and pottery glazers n yazd city in 2010 at the beginning and end of the work shift (98 samples). totally, 55 o...

asymptomatic bacteriuria is prevalent during pregnancy. it can lead to pyelonephritis, premature pregnancy and low birth weight. in this prospective study, to determine prevalence and risk factors of asymptomatic bacteriuria, 205 consecutive pregnant women who visited our prenatal care clinic in mirza-koochakkhan hospital and had no urinary symptom were entered. patients data were recorded usin...

A 68-year-old female with a known hypertensive, diabetic, and neurogenic bladder was brought to the hospital complaints of fever constipation. The urine bag colour were found be purple (Figure 1). urinalysis showed alkaline urine, urinary sediment contained 15-20 white blood cells per high-power field. She admitted under impression that she had Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) patient empirically ...

This study aims to determine the optimization of cow urine liquid fertilizer on growth shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.). The research method used was an experiment using a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting 5 treatments and 4 replications, namely treatment A (0 ml urine/polybag), B (50 C (100 D (150 E (200 ml/l urine/polybag). Observations were made shallot plant height, tuber wet w...
