The purpose of this study was to evaluate if the application of fibrin glue as a preventive agent reduces surgical morbidity after a living-related-donor kidney transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS A controlled clinical trial involving 78 recipients randomly assigned to receive fibrin glue and 79 in the control group without the application of fibrin glue. Patients were followed for six months after surgery. RESULTS The average ages were 24.8±9.4 and 27.4±11.3 years in the control and study groups, respectively (p=0.11). Individual morbidities, such as urologic, lymphatic, vascular, and wound complications, were not statistically different between groups; however, the total number of surgical complications observed were in five patients in the study group and 16 patients in the control group. This difference was statistically significant (p<0.01, relative risk 0.44, 95% CI 0.20-0.97). There was no mortality or adverse reaction to fibrin glue. One kidney graft was lost because of uncontrollable bleeding secondary to tearing of the renal capsule. The incidence of early medical complications was similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS Applications of the biological adhesive reduced the incidence of surgical complications.

The 14 day study included two groups of rats with diarrhea (osmotic or secretory), two groups without diarrhea but with a degree of malnutrition which was similar to that seen in the rats with diarrhea (malnourished without diarrhea) and a well-nourished group (control). The inclusion of laxatives(lactose or bisoxatin acetate) cause a reduction in food intake, diarrhea an malnutrition. It also caused a reduction in dietary protein and fat digestibility which was proportional to the severity of diarrhea and more pronounced in secretory diarrhea. In the malnourished rats without diarrhea, malnutrition did not affect their absorptive function. Both in the rats with secretory and osmotic diarrhea an intestinal hypertrophy was observed. This hypertrophy was proportional to the severity of diarrhea and independent of its aetiology. In the intestines of the rats with both type...

This justifies the study of nutrition and diarrhea. Due to ethical and financial considerations it is difficult to study nutrition and diarrhea in children thus animal models have become a convenient alternative. In previous studies it was shown that lactose induced diarrhea in rats was associated with a reduction in tissue levels of vitamin E and also with evidence of an inflammatory response of the intestine. Accordingly, in this study, in order to determine the effect of this type of diarrhea on the level of oxidative stress, diarrhea was induced in vitamin E sufficient and deficient rats. The results showed that after 23 days the tissue concentration of vitamin E decreased in all the rats with diarrhea but this reduction was substantially greater in the vitamin E deficient group. Moreover, diarrhea was 60% more severe in the vitamin E deficient rats than...

In this study, we address the effectiveness of this restoration project through the analysis of the macroinvertebrate community that colonized the newly constructed lake, in comparison with a nearby natural oxbow lake and the adjacent river channel. To that end, water and macroinvertebrate samples were taken every 2 months in 2006. Ground movements during construction, wind‐driven bottom resuspension, shore scouring, and lack of vegetation resulted in distinctive water chemistry in the constructed and natural lakes. Regarding biodiversity, only 8 months after the digging of the constructed lake the abundance, richness, Shannon, and trait diversity of macroinvertebrates exceeded that of the natural lake. It is suggested that the constructed lake provided habitat for new mobile species that rapidly dispersed to other wetlands, thus enhancing the biological divers...

This transformation of Science Education into a specific field of researchand knowledge is usually associated with the establishment of what has been called an‘emergent consensus’ about constructivist positions. However, some voices have begunto question
