BACKGROUND Knowledge on the effects of volatile anaesthetics on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in humans in vivo is limited. We tested the hypothesis that sevoflurane, desflurane, and isoflurane do not impair LV diastolic function in young healthy humans. METHODS Sixty otherwise healthy subjects (aged 18-48 yr) undergoing minor procedures under general anaesthesia were studied. Afte...

BACKGROUND Reconstructed embryos from terminally differentiated somatic cells have revealed high levels of genomic methylation which results in inappropriate expression patterns of imprinted and non-imprinted genes. These aberrant expressions are probably responsible for different abnormalities during the development of clones. Improvement in cloning competency may be achieved through modificat...

The effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on renal tubular permeability has been studied utilizing micropuncture techniques in the rat kidney. After microinjection into superificial nephrons during control conditions, inulin (98.8 +/- 2.7%) and mannitol (97.2 +/- 2.4%) recovery from the experimental kidney was essentially complete. During intravenous infusion of PTH, inulin (99.3 +/- 2.9%) recove...

UNLABELLED Animal studies have shown that large volumes of IV lactated Ringer's solution (LR) decrease serum osmolality, thereby increasing cerebral water. These studies have led to recommendations to limit LR to avoid cerebral edema in neurosurgical patients. Eighteen healthy human volunteers aged 20-48 yr received 50 mL/kg LR over 1 h on one occasion and 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) on another. ...

background: our previous studies revealed anethum graveolens l. caused some changes in female reproductive system that induced infertility. therefore, in this study, oocyte changes as one of probable reasons of infertility were investigated.    methods: in this study, 59 adult female rats were divided into 3 groups of control, low dose (0.5 g/kg) and high dose (5 g/kg) of dill seed aqueous extr...

Lupin is a very promising crop for seed and biomass production in organic farming. The aim of this research, conducted 2018 2019 at the experimental facility Faculty Agriculture, University Zagreb, was to determine white lupin yield, depending on sowing density. trial laid out according randomized block design with four replications. research included two varieties, Feodora Energy, respectively...

Three-year (2020–2022) research at the experimental field of Bila Tserkva National Agrarian University, make it possible to calculate economic and energy efficiency recommend a differentiated system main tillage on typical deep, low-humus medium-loamy chernozems Right Bank Forest-Steppe Ukraine in five-field specialized (cereal) crop rotation, which involves deep plowing only for row crops, win...

Oxidative stress and inflammation are connected to the development of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes. Diabetic-related oxidative is caused by overproduction oxidative-free radicals, which have been implicated in mechanism damage tissues. Our study aimed investigate effects ubiquinone treatment on serum indicators (malondialdehyde (MDA)), (interleukin 6 (IL-6)), vascular homeostasis (nitr...

Abstract In household environments, the improper handling of children's feces can be a significant contaminant, raising high risk child exposure. Thus, objective this study was to pool available evidence on prevalence safe disposal practices and their association with reported childhood diarrhea in low-income middle-income countries.
