This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of diode laser in accelerating the healing process of injured tendons and to determine the best irradiation doses for impulse and continuous laser irradiation. The semimembranosus muscle tendon of forty mature local breed rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) of both sexes was partially injured under general anesthesia. The rabbits were randomized into five groups and treated on the first day postoperatively. Group C served as a control and received no treatment, while groups A, B, and D were subjected to diode impulse laser with a power of 2×10-3 watts and a wavelength of 904 nm for 15, 25, and 35 min per session, respectively. Group E received continuou

Show MoreAn interaction toxicity study was performed to evaluate and compare the effect of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitor (captopril) and inducer (spironolactone) on their common substrate (lovastatin) that were done by comparing LD50 of the acute study with their chronic form then with those combined therapeutic doses administered for 90 days. Therefore, isobolographic analysis and chronicity index were used as the parameters for this study. Forty rats were allocated into five groups according to the used treatment into: captopril, spironolactone, lovastatin, captopril + lovastatin and spironolactone + lovastatin using up and down method to determine their acute exposure LD50 while ninety rats were used to perform t

Show MoreThe present study was performed on 30 lactating Iraqi buffaloes suffered from ovarian inactivity diagnosed by rectal palpation during 60-90 days postpartum, aged between 3-6 years at Al-Thahab Al-Abiad village / Abu-Graib / Baghdad province during the period from February- June 2020 . The animals divided into three equal groups (10 buffaloes for each one). 1st group treated with melatonin implants (90mg/animals/SC) for 30 days but 2nd group treated with melatonin implants conjugated with CIDR (1.38 gm) in day 20 for 10 days, 3rd group without treatment (control group). The results in this study were recorded animal response 90%, 100% and 50% in 1st ,2nd and 3rd groups respectively with superior significantly (P<0.01) for treated group

specially as a screening test in order to detect the infection in limited area.
Rose Bengal standard stain which producd by specific companies was used in
preparation of the test special antigen , The stain gives the known pink colour
for the antigen during the test that make the agglutination in positive cases more
visible due to the reaction between antigen and the specific antibodies of
Brucella which found in the serum sample of human and different animals.
Antigen for the Rose Bengal test in this study is prepared by using alternative
stain easily found in local supermarkets using for food colours and not
expensive like standard stain

A total of 300 one day old unsexed broiler chicks were divided into three
dietary groups which were: -
T1: Un-treated control.
T2: Poultrygrow 250 treated group.
T3: Cr-Yeast treated group.
Results have shown that the addition of Poultrygrow 250 and Cr-Yeast
have significantly (p < 0.05) improved the performance of broilers express in
weight gain and feed conversion ratio compared with control group. The study
showed an increase in red blood cell and hemoglobin and reduce in hetrophil /
Lymphocyte ratio.It was concluded that the supplementation of poultrygrow 250
and Cr-Yeast in the diet of broiler chickens could improve the performance of
the birds.
Ruminal acidosis was induced experimentally in local bucks fed on
AL-zahdy dates at 20 and 40 g/kg B.W. daily. Two groups of five animals
each beside another group of five animals as a control reseved 20g/kg B.W.

surgically provided with ruminal fistula. The experiments lasted for four
weeks during which the animals examined clinically daily, and ruminal fluid

This study concerned with prevalence of infection of the goats and their kids with coccidia during the period from 1st March 2004 to 30th February 2005. Three hundred fifty two faecal samples were collected from 32 goats. The rate of infections in goats and kids was 47.6%, 61.1% respectively. The peak of infection was in spring and winter, and then the infection declined in hot and dry summer. The rate of infection in females (33.3%) was higher than in males (14.2%). Four species of coccidia were diagnosed Eimeria ahsata, Eimeria faurei, Eimeria pallida, and Eimeria ovinoidalis.

The first group was closed orally with quassin, the second group was dosed with quassin after the gut flora were suppressed by difierent antibiotics, and the third group was served as a control.

Two eats from each group were killed at the end of each week, and stomach, liver, and kidney were collected for histopathologic examination.
The results show a significant decline in daily food intake and daily change in body weight, and a significant increase in daily water intake in both dosed groups during the dosing period

The antimicrobial effects of diverse tannin-containing plants, particularly condensed tannins (CTs) produced from various plants, are the subject of this study. CT components can be determined using CT-specific procedures such the HCl-Butanol Acetone assay, Thiolysis reaction, and HPLC/MS analysis. These methods indicate CT contents, including mean degree of polymerization, the procyanidins and prodelphinidins ratio (PC/PD%), the isomers of trans- and cis-, and CT concentration. Tannin-containing plants possess antibacterial action, which can be attributed to their protein linkage technique, and tannin-type variations, particularly CTs extract and their PC/PD%. The effects of CT components on the development of Gram-positive and Gram-neg
