Ascites syndrome is indicating the abnormal accumulation of non-inflammatory fluid in abdominal space. Hypoxia is the most important cause of pulmonary hyper blood pressure in broiler poultry. The aim of this study is a comparative survey of ascites syndrome incidence rate in Ross, Arbor-Acrese and Cobb strains of broiler chickens. For this purpose, 150 broiler male chicks of Ross, Cobb, and Ar...

It is necessary to assess coronal Cobb angle in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS). But as most ADS patients are elderly patients who are difficult or unable to stand upright without assistance, it is difficult to obtain standing posteroanterior X-ray radiographs. Whether it is possible to use Cobb angle obtained on a supine posteroanterior X-ray rad...

in order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...

Background Brace treatment for scoliosis is effective. The short term in-brace correction of the Cobb angle is associated with end results and success of bracing. Irrespective of the factors which determine the correction the measurement of the Cobb angle is a possibility to evaluate the brace quality. We have investigated the braces from one orthotist over a fixed period of time and have descr...
