The article presents the results of assessing the informativeness of the improved technique of preoperative echocardiographic screening study in dwarf dog breeds. Evaluation of the ratio of the sizes of the left atrium to the root of the aorta, the pulmonary vein to the right branch of the pulmo-nary artery, normalized to the body weight of the end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions, the fraction of the shortening of the left ventricle, the velocity of the peak E of the transmitral blood flow and the time of isovolumic relaxation makes it possible to carry out an effective preoperative assessment functional state of the cardiovascular system in dwarf dogs. These indicators do not de-pend on the body weight of dogs and characterize the state of remodeling, systolic and diastolic functions of the left chambers of the heart. Determination of the complex of these echocardiograph-ic parameters within 8-11 minutes makes it possible to assess the pumping function of the heart, to predict and reduce the risk of developing cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Variable Weight

Weight measurement is essential for the management of pediatric patients to calculate the dose of the drugs. But it is not possible to move the child to a weighing scale for determination of body weight when the child is in a critical condition. The purpose of this study was to check if foot length correlates with child’s body weight in our situation and to devise a formula for prediction of weight based on foot– length observed. This Cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Pediatrics, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Mitford hospital, Dhaka over a period of 12 months between January 2008 and December 2008. A total of 300 children, between 0 day to five years, meeting the predefined eligibility criteria were included in the study. Using the available data, simple linear regression analysis was performed between the dependent variable weight and independent variable foot length. The estimated linear regression line was: Predicted weight (kg) = a+ [b× foot length]. Data were analyzed using correlation coefficient (r) between foot length and children’s weight. In this study correlation between foot length and weight (r) was 0.92(P<0.001) indicating a perfect linear relationship between them. In the present study determination of correlation (r2) was 0.85 meaning that 85% of the variability in weight might be explained by variation in foot length. The estimated linear regression line was: Predicted weight (kg) = - 4.64 + [1.12 X foot length], where- 4.64 was the intercept and 1.12 was the slope of the regression line. Comparison between measured weight and predicted weight revealed that94% of variation between measured weight and predicted weight was within ±2kg. More than half of the cases (58.3%) the above-mentioned variations were within ±1kg.  This study concluded, there was a strong correlation between foot length and weight in children up to five years. The body weight in children from 0 days up to the age of 5 years can be predicted from foot length. Prediction of weight simply by foot-length measurement could be a great help to the health care provider including doctors and health workers for drug dose calculation in critically ill children.

Accurate, consistent measurement of foot-ankle geometry is essential for the design and manufacture of well-fitting, functional, comfortable footwear; for the diagnosis of certain biomechanical disorders; and for consistent longitudinal monitoring and assessment of pedorthic treatment outcomes. We sought to formulate a basic set of measures characterizing the principal geometric dimensions of the foot, to investigate how these measures vary with increasing weightbearing, and to explore the implications of weightbearing changes in pedal geometry for orthopedic footwear design and manufacture. The right feet of 40 healthy men aged 22 to 71 years were scanned using the Department of Veterans Affairs Pedorthics Optical Digitizer in neutral alignment, sequentially bearing 0%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100% of the subjects’ body weight. With support of the full body weight, the following mean changes in the pedal parameters were observed: heel-to-toe length, 1.5%; ball width, 4.3%; maximum heel width, 4.8%; and instep height, –9.3%. On average, 71% of the changes sustained in the pedal parameters at full weightbearing occurred when, or before, 25% of the body weight was applied. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 96(4): 330–343, 2006)

The study was designed to determine the size of some body parts of the Super Kampong chicken and its relationship with body weight. The study was conducted at the Teaching Farm of Animal Science Faculty, University of Mataram, in Lingsar Village, West Lombok. The study used 60 male and 96 female Super Kampong chickens which were maintained intensively. The variables observed were body weight, head circumference, neck length, wing length, back length, chest circumference, chest width, upper and lower thigh length, metatarsus length, metatarsus circumference, and third finger length. Measurements were made for each individual bird at 13 weeks of age using yarn then measured with a tape measure, while the dimension of chest width was assigned  by measuring the distance between the right and right sides of the chest using calipers. The results found that the body parts that had the biggest contribution to the body weight of the Super Kampong chickens at 13 weeks old were the size of the lower thigh length in the male chicken and the size of the chest circumference in the female chicken.

During the preclinical studies of new drugs, the study of the degree of manifestation of their irritant and allergenic effects affects subsequent clinical studies, for example the routes of administration, the need to add excipients to reduce irritation. The article presents the results of studies of the irritant effects and allergenic properties of the Iron in rare unconventional valence – IV. The irritant effect of the Iron(IV) clathrochelate complexes on the skin was studied comprehensively. 20 rabbits were divided into 4 groups (control and three experimental), 5 animals each. The  ointment on the vaseline and aqueous solution of the Iron(IV) clathrochelate complexes was applied to the skin of rabbits of the experimental groups. Also this solution was introduced subcutaneously. The investigated dosage forms were used at a dose of 1 ml/kg body weight (based on the active ingredient 500 mg/kg body weight of the laboratory animal). The results of the studies showed that of the Iron(IV) clathrochelate complexes has no irritant properties when used externally and is characterized by a lack of local reaction by subcutaneous injection. Determination of allergenic properties was performed by detecting itching and swelling in the guinea pigs in animals which were sensitized with this substance. In addition, in order to assess the severity of the inflammatory reaction, the skin temperature was determined before the experiment and on the 20th day of the experiment, and the skin fold thickness was measured using a caliper. The results of the studies showed that there is no allergic action of the Iron(IV) clathrochelate complexes. The results of the ophthalmic test on laboratory animals confirmed the data obtained.Therefore, comprehensive studies of the irritant and allergenic effects of the Iron(IV) clathrochelate complexes were performed for the first time. The Iron(IV) clathrochelate complexes in the form of ointment and solution does not irritate the skin and mucous membranes and has no allergenic properties to the body of the laboratory animals.

The study purpose was to determine the effectiveness of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes with women of the first period of adulthood. Materials and methods. 30 adult women, whose average age was 30.57 years, took part in the study. The study was conducted during 2019-2020. Anthropometric measurements included body length, body weight, chest, shoulder, calf, thigh, waist, buttocks and wrist circumferences. To determine the overweight we calculated the body mass index. Measurements were taken at the end of each mesocycle of wellness training. Statistical analysis covered determination of mean, standard deviation, reliability of the differences (Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Results. The effectiveness of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes was proven by improvement of women’s body type. By the end of the study, there were no women with obesity class II and underweight. The number of women with obesity class I decreased by 3.33%. The number of women with normal body weight increased by 13.37%. Conclusions. The implementation of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes with adult women has significantly corrected their body proportions. This allows recommending a differentiated approach according to a body type to implement into aqua fitness classes.

Disturbed Motion

The article deals with determination of the second- and higher-order perturbations in Cartesian coordinates and body motion velocity constituents. A special perturbed motion differential equations system is constructed. The right-hand sides of this system are finite polynomials relative to an independent regularizing variable. This allows constructing a single algorithm to determine the second and higher order perturbations in the form of finite polynomials relative to some regularizing variables that are chosen at each approximation step. Following the calculations results with the use of the developed method, the coefficients of approximating polynomials representing rectangular coordinates and components of the regularized body speed were obtained. Comparison with the results of numerical integration of the equations of disturbed motion shows close agreement of the results. The developed methods make it possible to calculate, by the approximating polynomials, any intermediate point of the motion trajectory of the body.

Two Populations

Two sympatric smelt populations inhabit Lake Heney, Gatineau County, Quebec. This study deals only with the population which we call "giant" but a brief discussion on "small smelt — large smelt" theory is included. The data were obtained from 1556 specimens collected with eight gillnets set up under the ice at one locality on Lake Heney, in February, March, and April 1967. The data permitted the determination of the time and site of spawning in the giant population. The time and site of spawning in the "dwarf" population was already known, and we found a marked difference in the spawning behavior and time of spawning of the two populations. The two populations are furthermore reproductively isolated. The sex ratio during the spawning period was closely followed and found to be similar to that of all other freshwater or marine smelts. A DeGiusti dredge, dragged along the bottom below the position of the gillnets immediately after the melting of the ice, permitted the collection of embryonic smelt eggs from a depth of 30–40 ft.The maturity index, relative fecundity, and intergonadal ratio were especially studied. Ovary weight at maturity represents in average one-quarter the total body weight, and testis weight one-fortieth the body weight. A 213-mm female lays an average of 42,460 eggs. The right ovary is 4.5 times smaller than the left one, and the right testis is on the average 3.8 times smaller than the left one.There is a direct relationship between total fecundity and length of mature females. This relation is expressed by the curve log E = 4.54 log L + k.

Series Of Experiments

In the course of investigations on the production, distribution, and rate of disappearance in the body of immune substances, we were occupied in 1908 and previous years with a series of experiments on agglutinins, and we arrived at conclusions pointing to their close relationship to the blood and blood-forming organs (1, 2). In association with these inquiries, one of us (G. D.), together with W. Ray, published a communication on the relation­ship between the blood volume and the distribution of agglutinins within the circulation (3). It was there shown that the concentration of this substance (agglutinin) in the blood after inoculation into an animal was proportional to the body surface of the animal concerned, and was thus approximately proportional to the two-thirds power of the weight. Hence was deduced the conclusion that the blood volume of the animals examined was proportional to their body surface.

Experiments had repeatedly been carried out on dogs to test the assumption that goitre could be conveyed from man to animals by fæcal infection of the water supply, but with negative results. In the present experiments female goats were employed. The drinking water supplied to these goats was fouled by passing through a specially constructed box, which contained sterilised soil mixed with the fæces of goitrous individuals. In the case of one batch six goats, only this water was consumed. In the case of another batch of seven goats the box above referred to contained, in addition to the sterilised soil and fæces, 500 earthworms. These were added on the assumption that they might act as intermediate hosts to the infecting agent of the disease. The goats consumed this highly polluted water for 64 days, from October 13 to December 15, 1910. The results observed were (1) a loss of weight, due doubtless to confinement in a small hut for the 64 days of the experiment; (2) that many of them suffered from diarrhœa; and (3) that 50 per cent. of the animals showed enlargements of the thyroid gland, most marked on the right side. The thyroids of three control goats showed no alteration in size. The enlargement of the thyroid was observed to fluctuate in size considerably, a fact which had previously been noted in the case of experimentally produced goitre in man. The average weight of the normal thyroid of the goat in Gilgit is 1/10,000 part of the body weight. The enlarged glands of the goats in the experiment were found to weigh from 1/4,272 to 1/7,000 part of the body weight. In both batches drinking fouled water the results observed were the same.
