round heart disease is a disease of unknown etiology in turkey. the objective of this study was to examinethe effect of different amounts of sodium chloride in inducing cardiomyopathy in turkey poults. there are some reports that hypoxia and furazolidone can induce cardiomyopathy in turkey. two hundred 2-day-old turkey poults were wing-banded and placed randomly into 6 groups and 24 replicates ...

cirrhosis is associated with hyperdynamic circulation, manifesting as increased cardiac output and decreased systemic vascular resistance. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cirrhosis on heart apoptosis and involvement of nitric oxide (no) and oxidative stress in the possible altered apoptosis of cirrhotic hearts. twenty-eight days after bile duct ligation, heart tissues wer...

Rationale: Donor brain death (BD) is an unavoidable occurrence in heart transplantation and results in profound physiological derangements that render the heart more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion injury in the recipient and likely has negative long-term consequences to allograft survival. Objective: We developed a novel mouse model of BD and investigated the role of complement in BD-induc...

RATIONALE Donor brain death (BD) is an unavoidable occurrence in heart transplantation and results in profound physiological derangements that render the heart more susceptible to ischemia/reperfusion injury in the recipient and likely has negative long-term consequences to allograft survival. OBJECTIVE We developed a novel mouse model of BD and investigated the role of complement in BD-induc...

Hemodynamic instability after brain death is an universal clinical problem with effects on potential donor organs. Actual shortage of potential donor hearts continues to raise controversial discussion about adequate donor management with regard to graft quality. From the mid eighties numerous studies investigated the effects of brain death on the cardiocirculatory system and other organs. It co...

BACKGROUND Due to the loss of autonomic nervous system, precise control of the hemodynamic status in dead brain potential donors presents a clinical dilemma. In these patients, due to head trauma and cerebral edema, fluids administration is restricted. Moreover, the decreased central venous pressure may put the viability of the organs at risk. OBJECTIVE To investigate hemodynamic factors affe...

rice is among the most important food crops throughout the world. hybrid rice benefits from about a 30 percent yield advantage over the conventional pure line varieties and this phenomenon can play an important role in fighting world hunger. to diminish the damage of rice pests, development of insect pest management strategies in hybrid rice is necessary. this study was aimed at evaluating the ...

Write{e cient memories (WEM) were introduced by Ahlswede/Zhang as a model for storing and updating information on a rewritable medium. We strengthen the capacity theorem by providing a full control of the rates of the spreads. Next we adress and settle the storage capacity region problem under the average costs constraint in the case of many users, who write on the memory in an arbitrary order,...
