Blood Flow Patterns

We studied the distribution of blood flow within and among muscles of partially curarized (40–100 micrograms/kg body wt) rats during preexercise and at 1 min of low-speed treadmill exercise (15 m/min). Glycogen loss in the deep red muscles and parts of muscles was significantly reduced in the curarized animals during exercise, indicating the fibers in these muscles were recruited to a lesser extent and/or had lower metabolisms than fibers in the same muscles of control rats. However, elevations in blood flow in the red muscles of the curarized rats were as great or greater than those in the control rats. Thus reduced recruitment and/or metabolism of the deep red muscle fibers of the curarized animals was not accompanied by reduced blood flow. These findings suggest a dissociation between red fiber metabolism and blood flow in the curarized rats during the 1st min of slow treadmill exercise and indicate that release of vasodilator substances or local physical factors associated with muscle fiber activity are not solely responsible for the initial hyperemia during exercise.

Walleye Pollock Theragra Chalcogramma

Abstract Variability in echo intensities from aquatic organisms is caused by physical factors associated with the transmission of sound through water, and by biological factors associated with the ontogeny, physiology, and behaviour of targets. Acoustic-based density estimates depend on accurately characterizing reflected or backscattered sound from any species of interest. Digitized lateral and dorsal radiographs of walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) were used to characterize intra-specific variability among young-of-the-year, juvenile, and adult life-history stages. Kirchhoff-ray mode (KRM) models were used to quantify variability in backscatter intensities at 38 and 120 kHz. At these geometric scattering frequencies, swimbladder surface areas influence echo intensities. Dorsal swimbladder surface areas were proportionate to fish lengths and decreased after fish were fed. Corresponding changes in backscatter were not proportionate to the reduction in dorsal surface area. The ratio of dorsal to lateral swimbladder surface areas was consistent among gravid and non-gravid fish. Walleye pollock tilt angles were centred at 90° and did not differ among densities or between light and dark cycles. Target strength–length regressions and KRM-predicted backscatter models closely matched in situ target-strength measurements for walleye pollock in the Bering Sea. Backscatter variability can be minimized through judicious deployment of equipment and equipment-parameter settings, but the relative influence of biological factors on backscatter amplitude has not been determined.

Background: The term of anemia of chronic renal failure (CRF) in sufficiency refers to that anemia resulting directly from failure of the endocrine and excretory functions of the kidney and decreased production of erythropoietin by damaged kidneys. The serum erythropoietin level in patients with renal failure does not increase in response to the developing anemia, which is the primary cause of inadequate erythropoiesis. Aim: The purpose of our study was to examine, among patients with CRF, the combined association of CRF and anemia on adverse outcomes. Settings and Design: A hospitalized study using administrative data, we identified all patients hospitalized with CRF in IBN-Sena hospital and Khartoum teaching hospitals, Khartoum, Sudan. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 500 patients having a diagnosis of chronic renal failure hospitalized and discharged between October 2007 to February 2010 from two Sudanese Teaching hospitals (Khartoum and IBN-Sena). All adult patients with chronic renal failure hospitalized for hemodialysis. Results: Hemoglobin level was recorded for 500 members (100%) of the cohort. The mean (SD) hemoglobin was 13.0 g/dL (2.2) range from 11.8 g/dL to 14.6 g/dL. On admission, an hemoglobin of ≥ 14 g/dL was found in 36.2% of the patients, 36.2% had an hemoglobin between 12 g/dL and 14 g/dL, 19.6% between 10 g/dL and 12 g/dL, and 8% ≤ 10 g/dL. The proportion of patients with CRF was associated with increasing anemia. Conclusion: The results obtained indicated the further evidence that the concomitant presence of either CRF or anemia increased the risk of dying in the hospital or of being readmitted within 30 days among patients hospitalized. The association persisted after controlling for other factors associated with adverse outcomes in these patients. Key words: Anemia, chronic renal failure.

Microtus Townsendii

Fates of disappearing individuals were determined for two natural populations of Microtus townsendii by livetrapping of evacuated areas and marginal habitat, and by marking individuals with radioactive tags to locate carcasses. Two hundred and nineteen out of the 454 individuals that disappeared were radioactively tagged during this 3-year study conducted in the University of British Columbia Research Forest near Haney, B.C. Only 30 radioactive tags were recovered on the live-trapping areas. Most disappearances in this vole population must have been caused by dispersal or predation.Most disappearance from increase and peak populations was due to dispersal. Two summer periods of declining numbers were observed; during one such period many individuals' remains were found on the study areas, but during the other period of declining numbers few remains were found. There was no increase in dispersal rate as measured by the above techniques during either decline period. It is concluded that during the first brief period of declining numbers individuals were dying in their nests from physical factors associated with a severe summer drought and during the second period of declining numbers individuals were either moving long distances without going into traps or being taken by predators.
