OBJECTIVE Based on drug-drug interaction, dose reduction of rifabutin is recommended when co-administered with HIV protease inhibitors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated mycobacterial infection. The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetics of rifabutin administered at 300 mg/day alone to that at 150 mg every other day combined with lopinavir-ritonavir in Japanese pat...

Dieldrin and DDE are environmental metabolites of the organochlorine pesticides aldrin DDT, respectively. During pregnancy, these chemicals can quickly infiltrate through placental barrier, accumulate in amniotic fluid fetus, act as endocrine disruptors (EDs). The aim this study was to investigate effect dieldrin their parental substances at concentrations 1 10 ng/ml on secretion PGE2 PGF2α fro...

Source-separated food wastes collected from a university campus catering facility were processed in bench-scale anaerobic digesters. The feedstock contained a varied mix of fruits, vegetables, meats and fried foods. Two modes of digestion were compared. The first was hydraulic flush (HF) mode, in which liquids were flushed through the reactor on a retention time of 25 days while solids were mai...

During early pregnancy, progesterone stimulates the secretion of proteins and other molecules that support the developing conceptus. Some gilts are able to support conceptus development as early as 110 days of age. The objective of this study was to evaluate the onset of responsiveness of the prepubertal uterus to progesterone. Thirty gilts were assigned to receive 2.2 mg progesterone kg-1 body...

Background: One of the most well-known Iranian traditional cheeses is Koozeh.

The patterns of adult copulatory behaviour can be observed in piglets. This sex play is more frequent in young boars than in young sows and reaches a peak during the second neonatal month. The castration of young boars within 5 min after birth (7 animals) eliminated the intense sex play of the second month. Gonadectomy at 30 days (3 animals) did not change mounting frequency during the second m...
