Clostridium perfringens-associated necrotic enteritis causes significant economic losses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bismuth citrate, lactose, and organic acid on the development of necrotic enteritis in broilers. The first study was a dose response that evaluated bismuth citrate at 50, 100, or 200 ppm on bacterial intestinal colonization and lesion development as...

Radiopacity is a critical property of materials that are used for a range of radiological applications, including the development of phantom devices that emulate the radiodensity of native tissues and the production of protective equipment for personnel handling radioactive materials. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a fabrication platform that is well suited to creating complex anatomical re...

This work reported the radiation shielding characteristic of bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glass system. The density specially-developed samples was increased from 2.21 to 4.01 g/cm3 with addition Bi2O3, despite fact molar volume is decease within 85.43–54.79 cm3/mol. WinXcom program used approximate effect Bi2O3 on gamma parameters glasses. μm values decrease increase concentratio...

composites with micro- and nano-metal fillers has attracted the attention of researchers for radiation shielding applications. Lead toxicity and heaviness have oriented extensive research toward the use of non-lead composite shields. The present study aimed to systematically review the efficiency of the composite shields of various micro- and nano-sized materials as composite shields have been ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the gamma ray radiation absorption properties bismuth oxide (Bi2O3), and determine effect lead (PbO) additive in shielding Bi2O3. For reason, parameters such as mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), linear (LAC), half value layer (HVL), tenth (TVL) mean free path (mfp) were calculated theoretically for Bi2O3, PbO, 50% Bi2O3-50%PbO. all results obtained by u...

Fifty nine patients with Helicobacter pylon positive duodenal ulcers that failed to heal after a six week course of treatment with H2 blockers were randomly assigned to one of the following three regimens: (i) bismuth subsalicylate, 600 mg three times daily (n=19), (ii) ranitidine, 300 mg at night (n=20), (iii) bismuth subsalicylate plus ranitidine (n=20). Cumulative ulcer healing rates after f...

Low-energy X-rays are widely used during clinical examinations, therefore we need to reduce exposure dose medical staff by using radiation shielding products. Current X-ray materials fabricated embedding high-atomic-number metal particles into a base material. It is valuable derive knowledge concerning and ability from actual experimentation. This necessary because it unrealistic mimic many in ...
