Mares of mixed breeding (379 to 594 kg) were injected intramuscularly once with Prostin F2 alpha | (PGF20t) in doses ranging between 0 and 10 mg between days 6 and 9 after ovulation. Prostaglandin F2a caused luteolysis as measured by reduction in intervals between injection and either return to estrus or ovulation and by reduction in interovulatory intervals for four of eight, seven of nine, ei...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of systemic temperature on myocardial protection during extracorporeal circulation, we quantitatively evaluated the relationship between myocardial oxygen consumption and rectal temperature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Myocardial oxygen consumption during cardiac arrest was calculated via blood gas analysis of venous blood samples collected from the coronary sinus. ...

• EXCEDE (ceftiofur crystalline free acid) Sterile Suspension controlled bovine respiratory disease (BRD) for up to nine days after administration in a challenge model. • EXCEDE was superior to Micotil (tilmicosin) 300 Injection for lung lesion scores, respiratory scores, and rectal temperature. • Concentrations of ceftiofur and related metabolites were above the efficacy threshold for BRD path...

Assessing the ability of current equine influenza vaccines to provide cross-protection against emerging strains is important. Horses not vaccinated previously and seronegative for equine influenza based on haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay were assigned at random to vaccinated (n=7) or non-vaccinated (control, n=5) groups. Vaccination was performed twice four weeks apart with a 1 ml influ...

injection molding is one of the most common processes which are used for manufacturing different plastic parts. this method includes 3 continuous steps: filling of the mold, cooling and driving the part out. a wide range of plastic and non-plastic materials can be used as raw material in this process. one of the most important advantages of this way of production is that it is very economic. in...

INTRODUCTION Identifying fever can influence management of the emergency department (ED) patient, including diagnostic testing, treatment, and disposition. We set out to determine how well oral and tympanic membrane (TM) temperatures compared with rectal measurements. METHODS A convenience sample of consecutively adult ED patients had oral, TM, and rectal temperatures performed within several...
