The excluded volume fraction for interstitial albumin (FE) was estimated in the lungs of seven mongrel dogs during steady state conditions following intravenous infusions of Ringer's solution, amounting to 0, 5, 10, and 15% of body weight (BW). We estimated the tissue blood volume with 51Cr red cells, extracellular space with 99mTc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA), and the albumi...

This work investigated the effect of different doses of PGE2 on net water and Cl- absorption from the rat colon, using an in situ perfusion technique. PGE2 exerted opposite effects at different concentrations. Net water and Cl- absorption was significantly reduced at low doses with a minimum at 0.4 microg/100g BW, and significantly elevated at high doses with an observed maximal effect at 21 mi...

Programs for developing replacement heifers are designed for heifers to calve at 2 yr of age and to extend their stayability in the herd and minimize feed cost. The experimental objective was to determine whether developing prepubertal heifers on less dietary energy and to a BW of 55% rather than 65% of mature BW at 14 mo of age would compromise ovarian development and reduce fertility. In a 3-...

background: synthetic radio-protective agents like aminothiols are toxic and fda approved agent amifostine is no exception. some ayurvedic herbs have shown radioprotective potential. this study was carried out to test and compare the radioprotective potential of curcuma longa (cl) tinospora cordifolia (tc), zizyphus mauritiana (zm) and ocimum sanctum (os) against 2gy gamma irradiation in swiss ...

Author manuscripts have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication but have not yet been edited. In this article we propose new individualized busulfan dosing regimens, in order to increase safety and efficacy during busulfan therapy especially in very small children. Busulfan has a very narrow therapeutic range with higher AUC values causing a high risk of sinuosoidal obstruction syndrome...

Introduction: Biological Width is needed to maintain the health of gingiva around teeth that need restoration. Crown Lengthening (CL) surgery can be used to prevent  invading the BW by sub-gingival restoration. The aim of this study was to evaluate gingival indices before and after CL surgery. Materials and Methods: In this analytical-longitudinal study, 23 teeth of 18  patients referred to ...

Four 50-cow, C-sire lines of Angus cattle were established as part of a long-term selection project. Performance data through yearling age were collected on 2,749 calves during the 16-yr period, 1964 to 1979. Lines were selected for individual weaning weight, (WWL), individual yearling weight (YWL) and a combination of individual and progeny weaning weights (PTL). The fourth line was maintained...
