Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordClinical Signs of Hairballs in Cats Fed a Diet Enriched with CelluloseA. C. Beynen, J. Middelkoop, D. H.J. SarisProblem statement: The intake of cellulose may delay gastric emptying and raise the intestinal transit rate. These effects could antagonize hairball formation. Thus, it was hypothesized that a diet enriched with a cellulose preparation (Arbocel BWW40®), forming a completely insoluble fiber network, would diminish the severity of clinical symptoms of hairballs in cats. Approach: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 8 Aug 2011 · 11,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffects of Pollutant Diesel Fuels on Neurobehavioral Performance among Workers in Locomotive DepotAnuar Ithnin, Radiah Abu Hasan Shaari, Mazrura Sahani et al.Problem statement: Diesel fuel contains various combinations of hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene and toluene which can cause health problems in major exposure of that pollutant in locomotive depots. Studies were conducted to evaluate the exposure towards diesel fuel pollutant and the effect on neurobehavioral performances among workers in locomotive depots. Approach: Method used was questionnaire form and neurobehavioral … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAnalysis of Blood Turbulent Flow in Carotid Artery Including the Effects of Mural Thrombosis Using Finite Element ModelingM. Arab-Ghanbari, M. M. Khani, A. Arefmanesh, F. Tabatabai-GhomsheArterial thrombosis is an extremely significant health problem. As a result of numerous factors involved in such problem, describing the role of hemodynamics in thrombogenesis has been asserted to be one of the most demanding and complicated challenges in biomechanics. An axisymmetric model considering fluid-structure interactions (FSI) was introduced and numerically solved for an artery with a thrombosis to perform … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,408 accessesView PDFCite
