the aim of this study was to assess the effect of several doses of spearmint essential oil (seo; 0, 250, 500, 750 or 1,000 µg ml-1 buffered rumen fluid) on the fermentation kinetic and digestibility using in vitro gas production technique. a total mixed ration (30% roughage: 70% concentrate) was incubated with buffered rumen fluid. in vitro gas production, asymptotic gas production (a), rate of...

conclusions we concluded that propofol can reduce sbp, dbp, map, hr & cough production at the time of injection but there were no significant changes in these parameters after extubation. results heart rate and blood pressure in patients receiving propofol were less than the control group (p < 0.05) at the time of injection of propofol, but there were no differences between the two groups at th...

conclusions implementing educational programs with the introduction of estimation techniques besides the use of manometer as a standard intraoperative monitoring will improve the safety of the practice. results the mean etcp after the in vitro survey was significantly lower than the mean etcp before the intervention (45 ± 13 vs. 51 ± 15 cm h2o, p = 0.002). the rate of measurements within the sa...

treacher collin’s syndrome (tcs) is a rare inherited condition characterized by bilateral and symmetric abnormalities of structures within the first and second bronchial arches. patients with tcs present a serious problem to anesthetists maintaining their airway as upper airway obstruction and difficult tracheal intubation due to severe facial deformity. because of retrognathia, airway manageme...

background: cuffed pharyngeal tube is a device designed for ventilation of anesthetized patients. cpt has advantages over face mask including: maintaining of face mask can be difficult and boring after several minutes and mobility of the practitioner is reduced due to involvement of hands. mask pressure can cause soft tissue and nerve damage around the nose. anesthetic gas leakage from the mask...

cystic fibrosis (cf) is an inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system, however, it also affects a number of other organs and systems. more than 90% of mortality of  cf patients is due to lung complications.  healthy lungs are important for a long life for people with cf, we will discuss two important topics for maintaining respiratory health. chronic use of drug...

this study was conducted to evaluatethe effects of different inter- and intra-row spacing on the dry matter accumulation and partitioning coefficients in faba bean, barakat cultivar. experiment was conducted as factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. factors were inter-row spacing (15, 30, 45 and 60 cm) and intra-row spacing (5, 10 and 15 cm). the plant dry matt...

Objective: Asthma is an airway complex disease defined by reversible airway narrowing and obstruction, chronic airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Brassica napus L. (B. napus) on airway pathologic changes in a rat model of asthma. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four rats were divided into 4 groups: contr...

The chance of developing lung cancer is increased through being exposed to cigarette smoke illustrated by studies. It is vital to understand the development of particular histologic-type cancers regarding the deposition of carcinogenic particles, which are present in human airway. In this paper, the mass transfer and deposition of cigarette smoke, inside the human airway, are investigated apply...
