An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of graded levels of Mormodica balsamina on performance and carcass characteristics of rabbits. The animals were fed diets containing 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5% inclusion levels of M. balsamina in a completely randomized experimental design replicated five times. Data were collected for 12 consecutive weeks on feed intake and live weight gain. At the end of the feeding trial, three (3) animals were selected for carcass evaluation. With the exception of feed conversion ratio and final weight gain, results indicated no significant difference between the treatments on all performance parameters (P>0.05), Carcass evaluation shows significant effect on weight of liver and lungs (P

ObjectiveTo compare patient functional outcomes across TBIMS rehabilitation centers using an enhanced statistical model and to determine factors that influence those outcomes.SettingTraumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) Centers.ParticipantsTBI patients admitted to 19 TBIMS rehabilitation centers from 2003 to 2012 (Total N = 5,505).DesignMulticenter observational cohort study.Main Outcome MeasuresFunctional outcomes of patients with TBI.ResultsIndividuals with lower functional status at the time of admission, longer duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA), and higher burden of medical comorbidities continued to have worse functional outcomes at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and at 1-year follow-up, whereas those who were employed at the time of injury had better outcomes at both time periods. Risk-adjusted patient functional outcomes for patients in most TBIMS centers were consistent with previous research. However, there were wide performance differences for a few centers even after using more recently collected data, improving upon the regression models by adding predictors known to influence functional outcomes, and employing bootstrapping to eliminate confounds.ConclusionsSpecific patient, injury, and clinical factors are associated with differences in functional outcomes within and across TBIMS rehabilitation centers. However, these factors did not explain all the variance in patient outcomes suggesting a role of some other predictors that remain unknown.

Background and purpose: Noise is considered as a nonspecific biological stressor that is associated with hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the slow deep breathing (SDB) exercise on systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP respectively), and heart rate (HR) for workers in plastic industry. Subjects: forty male plastic factory workers, age range between 23-35 years old volunteered in this study. Procedures: Assessment of BP and HR took place in two consecutive visits over 2 weeks .During first visit (V1) BP and HR of 40 volunteers were assessed at beginning of their shift and the end of shift (4 p.m.). Thereafter volunteers were randomly assigned into two groups SDB and control groups (n= 20 each). In second visit (V2), volunteers in both groups were assessed at the beginning of their shift. Volunteers in SDB group were taught to perform SDB exercise. Volunteers in control group were not given any instruction or exercises. BP and HR of both groups were reassessed at end of shift. Results: At first visit post shift systolic BP, and HR were significantly different than pre-shift. In second visit the within group difference showed significant increase in control group, while no significant difference in SDB group in SBP and HR. Between groups comparison showed that SDB group had improvement SBP and HR compared to control group. Conclusion: This study showed that SDB exercise can prevent increased SBP & HR in noise- exposed factories workers.
