the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three lighting programs on immune system and performance of broiler chickens. a total of 288 seven day-old male broiler chicks (ross-308) were randomly distributed between three treatments. each group was housed in the separated room with eight pen and 12-birds per pen. the management conditions were similar for all treatments throughout the ...

abstractbackground: macrosomia is a term applied to newborns with a birth weight of 4000 gr or above. perinatal mortality and morbidity is increased in fetal macrosomia. clavicular fracture, injury to brachial plexus, and hypoglycemia are important side effects. mother’s age, body mass index of mother, weight gain in pregnancy, mother’s height, diabetes, history of macrocosmic delivery, gestati...

OBJECTIVE To identify factors associated with weight gain at 1 year from initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). METHODS A retrospective review assessed weight change among 118 men with nonmetastatic prostate cancer treated with ADT for at least 6 months. Outcome associations were tested using 2-tailed t tests and linear regression. RESULTS Men in our cohort had significant weight...

ABSTRACT: In this study the reliability of using response surface-neural network method to predict the osmotic dehydration properties of crookneck squash has been investigated. In order to carry out this project, the osmotic solution concentration, the osmotic solution temperature and immersion time were chosen as inputs and solid gain and water loss were selected as outputs of the designed net...

OBJECTIVES To explain weight gain patterns in the first two years of life, we compared the predictive values of potential risk factors individually and within four different domains: prenatal, nutrition, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors. METHODS In a Dutch population-based birth cohort, length and weight were measured in 2475 infants at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months. Factors that might influence ...

OBJECTIVES Weight gain and obesity are frequent problems for renal transplant patients. The purpose of this review is to show why weight gain is experienced by patients after kidney transplant and the significance of prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS To investigate this topic, PubMed and Ulakbim databases were searched with the following key words: renal transplant and transplantation, weight...

the aim of this study was to design the base breeding plan in sistani cattle by using of stochastic simulation. for this purpose, three population size (500, 1000, 2000 heads), three levels of herd number (5, 10, 20), two levels of selection intensity (high and low) and two levels of mating method (random and minimum co-ancestry) were combined together and in total 36 scenarios were compared fo...

this study was done to gain insights into transcriptional regulation of negative energy balance (neb) assoctiated genes. overexpressed genes in neb were identified using microarray and rna-seq data and promoter analysis of these overexpressed genes was applied to identify novel transcription factors. moreever, string database was used to construct a regulatory network of identified transcriptio...
