An experiment was carried to evaluate the effects of gender and two dietary ionophores on growth performance and slaughter characteristics in Moghani sheep. A total of 30 Moghani lambs (15 males and 15 females) were distributed randomly into 30 individual cages. Each gender group consisted of 5 animals and fed with a basal diet with no supplement, the same basal diet plus 25 mg/kg monensin (MON...

forty eight 8-month-old male goats were divided into three groups. in each group, eight goats were feedrestricted for 45, 60 or 75 days, and eight goats served as the control. restricted groups were fed with a maintenance ration, and the control goats were fed with a ration supporting 50 g of daily weight gain. at the end of restriction period, the restricted goats were offered the same ration ...

To treat tear trough deformities in young patients, transconjunctival orbital fat repositioning has been widely used. Although internal fixation of transposed fat enables more secure and stable fixation than the externalized percutaneous suture method, the latter is used more commonly because of the narrow operation field and consequent technical difficulty of the internal fixation method. We d...

Ultrasonic measurements were taken on 46 sheep using a real-time ultrasound machine equipped with 2 probes (5 and 7.5 MHz). Measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness (SC) and muscle LM depth (MD) and area (MA) were taken at 2 locations: over the 13th thoracic vertebra (SC13, MD13, and MA13, respectively) and at the interval between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae (SC34, MD34, and MA34, r...

Multi-Resolution Analysis:. MRA based edge detection algorithm is proposed for estimation of volume of multifidus muscle in the Computer Tomography: CT scanned image The volume of multifidus muscle would be a good measure for metabolic syndrome rather than internal fat from a point of view from processing complexity. The proposed measure shows 0.178 of R square which corresponds to mutual corre...

Autologous fat injection is a common aesthetic procedure for soft-tissue augmentation of the face. Although this procedure is generally regarded as safe, several patients have experienced acute visual loss or cerebral infarction after these injections. We describe a case of internal and external carotid artery fat embolism that occurred following injection of autologous fat into the face. It ap...
