paste of big head carp fish was prepared based on three formulas and was selected base on organoleptic properties test results. the product was then divided into three portions of: sample 1 (control), sample 2 (containing 0.01% butylated hydroxy anisole bha antioxidant) and sample 3 (containing 0.02% antioxidant bha). to determine the shelf life, the samples were frozen and kept in cold storage...

Antimicrobial resistance is threatening humans and animals worldwide. Biosecurity and 1-year usage of antibiotics on a dairy concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) in NY State, USA, were mapped: how much antibiotics were used, for what purpose, and whether any decrease could be warranted. Approximately 493 kg antibiotics was used, of which 376 kg was ionophores (monensin and lasalocides),...

A total of 84 sows (PIC Line 1050) were blocked according to day of farrowing and parity and allotted in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with lactation feed intake (ad libitum vs. restricted) and creep feeding (no vs. yes) as factors. Sows fed for ad libitum intake (ad libitum-fed) were allowed free access to a common lactation diet (3,503 kcal of ME/kg, 0.97% standardized ileal dig...

We evaluated liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome; Vestar, San Dimas, CA) administered to 88 immunocompetent patients (56 children) with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by Leishmania infantum. Thirteen patients received 4 mg/kg on days 1-5 and 10 (total dose, 24 mg/kg), and all were cured; 42 received 3 mg/kg on days 1-5 and 10 (18 mg/kg), and 41 were cured; 32 received 3 mg/kg on days 1-4 and...

In order to study the effect of irrigation interval, N fertilizer and superabsorbent on yield and qualitative traits of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), a split-split-plot experiment was coducted in a farm in Khusf of Birjand, Iran in 2009 on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design. The main plot was devoted to irrigation interval at three levels of 6, 12 and 18 days, the sub-plot was devot...

A previously well 6 year old boy weighing 18 kg was admitted to hospital with fever and vomiting of 6 days' and increasing drowsiness and haematemesis one days' dura­ tion. He had been treated with paracetamol, oral penicillin, promethazine, haloperidol, phenobarbitone, a brand of paracetamol at a dose of 730 mg three times a day for 3 days (125 mg/kg/day), and an another brand of paracetamol a...

Neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) can alter the structure of the testicular excurrent ducts in rats. We characterized these changes according to dose and time posttreatment and established whether potent estrogens (ethinyl estradiol), environmental estrogens (genistein, octylphenol, bisphenol A, parabens), and tamoxifen induce such changes. Rats were administered these compounds neo...

Field trials were used to investigate the phytotoxicity of foliar sprays of 2,4-D amine to sugarcane. Yield losses of variety NCo 376 resulted from band sprays when 3,3 kg ae/ha was sprayed onto plant or ratoon cane which had unfurled three or more leaves per shoot. The greater the foliar development of the crop at the time of spraying, the greater was the resulting crop loss. At similar stages...
