An experiment was conducted using a total of 420, 1-d-old, Arbor Acres commercial male chicks to compare copper sulfate and tribasic copper chloride (TBCC) as sources of supplemental copper for broilers. Chicks were randomly allotted to 1 of 7 treatments for 6 replicates of 10 birds each and were fed a basal corn-soybean meal diet (11.45 mg/kg copper) supplemented with 0, 150, 300, or 450 mg/kg...

Iron oxide is an important biological agent that has a key role in medical processes; however, the mechanism whereby it provides iron for human and animal cells and its biological uses remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effects of oral iron oxide on serum iron status and compare the results with those of iron sulfate as a reference salt. Fifteen adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups o...

A liquid chromatographic (LC) method with 2 detection systems for determining atropine (hyoscyamine) sulfate in commercial products was tested in a multilaboratory study. Depending on the type of product, sample solutions are prepared in methanol or methanol-water (1 + 1). The standard solution contains about 1.0 mg atropine sulfate/100 mL and is prepared in the same solvent used in sample prep...

Introduction: The dominant naturally-occurring members of the MgSO4·nH2O series on Earth are epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O), hexahydrite (MgSO4·6H2O), and kieserite (MgSO4·H2O). In addition, other magnesium sulfate hydrates (sanderite 2H2O, starkeyite 4H2O, pentahydrite 5H2O) have been identified as efflorescent salts in limited localities in the United States, Chile, and Germany. Chipera et al., [1,2] ...

conclusions this study showed that the addition of intrathecal magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine is not desirable in patients undergoing cesarean section due to the delay in the onset of sensory blockade and the lack of significant effects of magnesium on post-operative pain. results the onset of sensory blockade was delayed in case group compared with control group, and this was statistically s...

Sulfur received extensive study as an input to terrestrial ecosystems from acidic deposition during the 1980s. With declining S deposition inputs across the eastern United States, there have been many studies evaluating ecosystem response, with the exception of agricultural watersheds. We used long-term (22 and 18 yr) sulfate concentration data from two rivers and recent (6 yr) data from a thir...

background: entry of untreated wastewater of wool scouring factories has been associated with many environmental hazards because of high rate of pollution. presently effective treatment methods and reducing the costs of operation and maintenance from treatment units have always been under the attention of this industry owners. the aim of this survey is to present a suitable method for the treat...

objective: the present study was designed to investigate the analgesic effect of oral and i.p. administration of alcoholic viscum album (v.a) fruit extract as a rich source of alkaloid substances. materials and methods: experimented animals were divided into control and treatment groups. the treatment rats received different doses of the v.a fruit extract, which was prepared from alcoholic sma...
