With increased application of co-solvent flushing technologies for removal of nonaqueous phase liquids from groundwater aquifers, concern over the effects of the solvent on native microorganisms and their ability to degrade residual contaminant has also arisen. This study assessed the impact of ethanol flushing on the numbers and activity potentials of trichloroethylene (TCE)-degrading microbia...

South Anatolian Red (SAR) cattle which breeds from Mersin to Sanlıurfa with centered Kilis in the region of Anatolia, is one native Türkiye. The aim this study evaluate superovulator response and embryo recovery rates after superovulation protocol applied SAR breed cattle.
 Fort purpose, 10 donors were selected conservation herd Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute. FSH wa...

Gilts (n = 267) were allotted to flushing (1.55 kg/d additional grain sorghum), altrenogest (15 mg . gilt-’ d-l) and control treatments in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement. Altrenogest was fed for 14 d. Flushing began on d 9 of the altrenogest treatment and continued until fust observed estrus; 209 gilts (78%) were detected in estrus. The interval from the last day of altrenogest feeding to estrus...

A 59-year-old white woman, B. L., had been plagued by recurrent episodes of flushing, weakness, and dizziness that at times led to frank syncope. She had been well until December, 1974, when she experienced her first attack. This episode was characterized by the sudden onset of headache and fatigue followed by severe flushing (particularly of the face and neck), weakness of the legs, a feeling ...

Rapid advances in the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic cardiology have led to an increase in health care costs. This has resulted in cost curtailing measures imposed by health care managers, based on assumptions that utilization of these methods do not provide commensurate increases in health benefits (over-use). To control the presumably spiralling costs of health care, practice guidelines...

Alcohol dependence (AD) is a complex disorder with environmental and genetic origins. The role of two genetic variants in ALDH2 and ADH1B in AD risk has been extensively investigated. This study tested for associations between nine polymorphisms in ALDH2 and 41 in the seven ADH genes, and alcohol-related flushing, alcohol use and dependence symptom scores in 4597 Australian twins. The vast majo...

Booting” and “flushing” are terms used to describe an injecting behaviour in which the plunger is pulled back and the fluid (mostly blood and perhaps blood only) is re-injected. The behaviour differs from “registering,” which occurs before the drug is injected. Booting/flushing can produce subcutaneous and venous damage, and increases the risk for the spread of blood-borne viruses when used equ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine whether facial flushing after drinking influences the relationship between alcohol consumption and prostatic hyperplasia among Korean men. METHODS The subjects were 957 Korean men (180 non-drinkers, 389 with drinking-related facial flushing, 388 without facial flushing) in the 40-69 age group, who underwent prostate ultrasound at the health ...

Encouraging sustainable water use is a critical endeavor in addressing issues associated with shortand long-term droughts. Toilets account for up to 26.7% of indoor household water use. Therefore substantial opportunity exists to conserve water via reduced flushing after urination at home. Here, we use an online survey (N 1⁄4 1008) to identify barriers to reduced flushing. The majority of parti...
