“…The serum cortisol level clearly indicated that the cortisol level for all the groups was more during the initial period and during the last 14-day interval. The overall cortisol value ranged from 7 to 10 nmol/L, which is more than the range given by Gross (2009) (4-6.5 nmol/L).…”

“…The ALP was significantly higher (P < .05) in T4 followed by T3 than T2. Furthermore, the overall ALP value ranged from 95 to 196 IU/ L which is under the normal range (64-222 IU/L) given by Gross (2009). The normal values for SGOT vary from 26 to 58 IU/L (Gross 2009) which is lower than the observed value (80-190 IU/L) in all the shade materials.…”

An attempt was made to study the effect of different shade materials on physiological, behavioural, biochemical and hormonal responses in crossbred Vrindavani calves during the summer seasons in the Cattle and Buffalo Farm of Indian veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar, India. During experiment, 28 crossbred calves were divided into four groups: thatch shading roof (T1), agro-net shading roof -60% light diffusion (T2), asbestos with canvas shading roof (T3) and well-grown tree (T4). The daily macroand microclimate data were recorded at 0900 and 1400 h. The data for each ongoing behavioural activity were recorded by closed circuit television consecutively for three days for each animal in each group from 1000 to 1700 h. Blood was also collected at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days of the experimental period for estimation of different biochemical parameters. The microclimate, that is, maximum and minimum temperatures, relative humidity and temperature humidity index of the roof, was lower in the T2 group. There was significantly more (P < .05) time spent in shade structure by the T2 group as compared to other groups. Among the behaviour, feeding, rumination, resting and sleeping activities were more in the T2 group, whereas standing, moving, drinking, time spent near water tank and abnormal behaviour (cross-sucking, licking) were more in T3 and T4. Among the blood parameters, haemoglobin was significantly higher (P < .05) while, Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase and Alkaline Phosphatase were significantly lower in the T2 group.

“…Recently, the interval from the peak to the end of T wave (T peak-Tend interval [Tp-e]) has been proposed for use in the prediction of malignant arrhythmia in SCD [10] [11] [12] [13]. Previous canine and rabbit left ventricular wedge models have indicated that the Tp-e interval in an electrogram was measured across the wedge correlates well with the transmural dispersion of cellular repolarization (TDR) [14].…”

Sickle cell disease (SCD) has been regarded as an inflammatory and procoagulatory disease with profound cardiovascular abnormalities including propensity for ventricular arrhythmogenesis. Tp-e and Tpe/QTc ratio however has been proposed as better indicators of arrythmogenesis and has been shown to be prolonged in many inflammatory conditions and correlate with levels of inflammatory markers. However, correlation between Tpe/QTc ratio and the level of highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) have not been reported in SCD. This study aims at evaluating Tp-e Interval and Tp-e/QTc ratio among steady state Sickle cell disease patients in relationship to the degree of anaemia, inflammatory and profibrotic markers. Methodology: A cross-sectional hospital-based study comprises 30 sickle cell anaemia patients in steady state with an equal number of controls having genotype HbAA and HbAS respectively. Clinical, laboratory and ECG parameters were obtained. Results: A total of 90 participants are with mean age 24.2 ± 5.6. The study showed that sickle cell disease patient had significantly lower level of PCV and higher level of PAI, platelet and total white cell count (p value < 0.05). C-reactive protein was also higher in them. 76.7% of HbSS patients had abnormal ECG. QTc and Tp-e were also prolonged in sickle cell disease patients compared with controls. An association was found between the level of PCV, PAI and prolonged Tp-e and QTc. Conclusion: Sickle cell disease patients have higher levels of inflammatory markers and abnormal ECG patterns are common in them. Moreover, the levels of these inflammatory markers correlate with Tp-e parameters.

Topical hemostatic agents are used intra-operatively to prevent uncontrolled bleeding. Gelfoam Ò Powder contains a hemostatic agent prepared from purified pork skin gelatin, the efficacy of which is increased when combined with thrombin. However, the effect of increasing concentrations of thrombin on resultant hemostasis is not known. This study sought to evaluate the ability of various concentrations of thrombin in combination with Gelfoam Powder to control bleeding using a swine liver lesion model. Ten pigs underwent a midline laparotomy. Circular lesions were created in the left medial, right medial, and left lateral lobes; six lesions per lobe. Gelfoam Powder was hydrated with Thrombin-JMI Ò diluted to 250, 375, and 770 IU/mL. Each concentration was applied to two lesion sites per lobe. Bleeding scores were measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 min using a 6-point system; comparison of bleeding scores was performed using ANOVA with the post hoc Tukey test. The bleeding scores with thrombin concentrations at 770 IU/mL were significantly lower than at 250 and 375 IU/mL at all four time points. The percentage of biopsies with a clinically acceptable bleeding score rose from 37.9, 46.6, and 71.2 % at 3 min to 55.2, 69.0, and 88.1 % at 12 min in the 250, 375, and 770 IU/mL thrombin groups, respectively. The study showed that the hemostatic response to thrombin was dose-related: using higher concentrations of thrombin with Gelfoam Powder yielded improved hemostasis, as determined by lower bleeding scores.
