Background: Toxic alcohol poisonings are responsible for high mortality and morbidity in Russia. This study was aimed to evaluate the trends of harmful ethanol (EtOH) drinking as well as methanol (MeOH), isopropanol (IPA) and ethylene glycol (EG) poisonings in the Middle Urals region of Russia. Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical records of patients poisoned with MeOH, IPA and EG ...

Ascending infection of the uterus with Gram-negative bacteria is responsible for postpartum endometritis in cattle and buffalo and can adversely affect fertility. Development of a laboratory animal model for bovine endometritis would facilitate the understanding of the pathogenesis as it is difficult to conduct controlled experimentation in the native host. In the present study, 30 virgin Swiss...

In order to improve the performance of a battery thermal management system (BTMS) based on phase change material (PCM), expanded graphite (EG) is added paraffin form composite PCM (CPCM), and embedded aluminum fins are coupled with liquid cooling enhance heat transfer. A generation model for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) established verified by experiments. The performances four BTMS designs wer...

The wall of the gut responds to an impressive array of signals originating in the lumen, including nutrient and non-nutrient chemicals, mechanical factors, and micro-organisms. The idea that the gut wall exhibits luminal chemo-sensitivity is implied in the original discovery of secretin by Bayliss and Starling, and has become an integral part of models of neurohumoral control of gastrointestina...
