Eleven schizophrenic patients and nine normal controls were studied using in vivo 31Phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) to test the hypothesis of metabolic asymmetry in the temporal lobes in schizophrenia. The controls did not demonstrate any asymmetry of phosphorous metabolite ratios, percentage of phosphorous metabolites, or pH. In the schizophrenics, however, phosphocreatin...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of subclinical mastitis on clinicopathological changes in Mastitic friesian. A total of 400 individual milk samples from clinically normal udder quarters of 100 diary friesians were examined microbiologically as well as by using California mastitis test (C.M.T.) for detection of subclinical mastitis and designing rapid diagnostic tests f...

A system dynamics method to assess carrying capacity of a defined natural environment is presented. The proposed method seeks to relate per capita resource usage to ranges of population and per capita consumption beyond which the system is not viable relative to population dependent resource constraints. It provides a platform to investigate system behavior through system dynamics simulations w...

Abnormalities of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are common in hospitalized patients. Infrequently patients might present in the outpatient settings with non-specific symptoms that might be due to abnormalities of divalent cation (magnesium, calcium) or phosphorous metabolism. Several inherited disorders have been identified that result in renal or intestinal wasting of these elements. Physic...

Background: Saliva is a complex mixture of fluids which regulates oral health. Studies have stated that calcium and phosphorous content of saliva is low in caries active persons. But most investigators have been unable to confirm this finding .This is attributed to the interplay of other factors including proteins and enzymes. Thus levels and state of calcium and phosphorous in saliva may be an...

Abstract—Eutrophication of surface water is one of the most widespread environmental problems at present. Large number of pilgrims and tourists visit sacred artificial tank known as “Brahma Sarover” located at Kurukshetra, India to take holy dip and perform religious ceremonies. The sources of pollutants include impurities in feed water, mass bathing, religious offerings and windblown particula...

BACKGROUND The antimicrobial mechanisms of ε-polylysine (EPL) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus fumigatus biofilm were investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS We assessed the changes in electric conductivity of broth and total sugar concentration, as well as changes in phosphorous metabolism and protein expression, of the 2 organisms before and after treatment with EPL. RESULTS The expe...

All the phosphate rock Japan needs must be presently imported from abroad because the country has no subterranean phosphorous resources. Therefore, there is a need to accelerate the development of and establish the technologies for phosphorous recovery from waste and wastewater. Swine wastewater has a high potential for phosphorous recovery in Japan. A reactor for removing and recovering phosph...

Due to the great possibility of water contamination of many rivers by human activities in Iran, the study of water quality is crucial for water resource protection and human health. High level of phosphorous is the main reason for eutrophication of freshwater systems. The main aim of this study was to investigate the concentration of phosphorus in the rivers feeding into Taham dam in Zanjan, us...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the gross composition, nitrogen distribution, and selected mineral content in Surti goat milk, and its comparison was made between cow and buffalo milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Goat milk samples of Surti breed and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural Univ...
