This study evaluated the effects of isolated or combined prebiotics blended with sodium butyrate and zinc proteinate on performance, intestinal morphometry, expression genes associated nutrient transport immune response in broilers. 1,400 birds were randomly assigned to 5 treatments (Negative control (NC) without antibiotic; Positive (PC) Prebiotic (Prebio) composed mannan fractions; Blend, but...

PURPOSE to evaluate the effectiveness of the IUGR model by uterine artery ligation mimicking placental insufficiency in rats. METHODS sprague-Dawley rat fetuses were divided into three groups: IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction), with fetuses in the right horn of pregnant rats subjected to right uterine artery ligation at 18.5 days of gestation (term = 22 days); C-IUGR (control of restrict...

background : breast carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor and leading cause of cancer deaths in women. while fine needle aspiration cytology is highly accurate in the diagnosis of breast lesions, it possesses certain drawbacks. in those circumstances intraoperative imprint cytology assumes importance, however, imprint cytology is subjected to interpretative errors. computer image analysi...

The effect of T1 signal on FSL voxel-based morphometry modulated GM density and FreeSurfer cortical thickness is explored. The techniques rely on different analyses, but both are commonly used to detect spatial changes in GM. Standard pipelines show FSL voxel-based morphometry is sensitive to T1 signal alterations within a physiologic range, and results can appear discordant between FSL voxel-b...

reports indicate that one of the causes of harmful to the genital system, especially the testes stress. stress could be created secondarily after some pathological conditions such as neurological diseases or environmental factors. one of the causes of stress could be scary voices, such as cat voice for mice. in this study we aimed to investigate the testes parameters in the animals that were ex...
