In this study, we investigated the effect of savory (Satureja hortensis) essential oil, garlic(Allium sativum) powder, and garlic aqueous extract on fungal load of poultry feed. Tothis end, savory essential oil and garlic aqueous extract each amounting 62.5, 125, and250 μl/ml and mg/ml, respectively, per kilogram of feed and garlic powder amounting2.5, 5, and 10 g/kg of feed were used. One and ...

Sodium polyanethol sulfonate (SPS) at 500 microgram/ml, but not sodium amylosulfate (SAS) at 500 microgram/ml, precipitated egg white lysozyme (1 mg and 50 microgram of lysozyme per ml) as determined with the assay strain Micrococcus lysodeikticus ATCC 4698. Fresh and heat-inactivated (56 degrees C, 30 min) human serum (80%, vol/vol) killed M. lysodeikticus (10(4) bacteria per ml at zero time) ...

The ability of lipid-free human apoA-I expressed by transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to form apoA-I-lipid complexes extracellularly when incubated with CHO cell monolayers was investigated. Lipid-free apoA-I was incubated with nontransfected CHO-C19 cells for 24 h and extracellular assembly products were isolated at d < or = 1.235 g/ml; approximately 12% of the incubated apoA-I flo...

Adverse reactions to iron dextran are usually delayed and consist of joint pain, vomiting, nausea, headache, and fever. Lifethreatening reactions to iron dextran have been reported [1,2]. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman who experienced a severe reaction to iron dextran and who was able to receive the drug after undergoing a series of tolerance induction protocols. The patient had celi...

Introduction: We present a patient with recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism after reimplantation of a portion of an excised parathyroid adenoma. To our knowledge, there has been only one other case reported in the literature describing a re-implanted parathyroid adenoma as the culprit for recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism. Case Description: A 65-year-old female presented with recurrent pr...

Flatulence can cause discomfort and distress but there are few published data of normal patterns and volumes. Twenty four hour collections were made using a rectal catheter in 10 normal volunteers taking their normal diet plus 200 g baked beans. Total daily volume ranged from 476 to 1491 ml (median 705 ml). Women and men (both n = 5) expelled equivalent amounts. The median daily flatus hydrogen...

Two experiments were conducted to examine the effect of the feeding of a high-energy diet during early gestation on survival of porcine conceptuses. In the first, 91 second-estrus gilts were inseminated 24 h after detection of standing estrus and randomly assigned to a recommended energy (RE: 22.2 MJ of DE/d) or high-energy diet (HE: 36.0 MJ of DE/d) obtained by addition of cornstarch to RE.
