Physiological and metabolic responses in Kök-Börü horses: Correlations with game outcomes.

Background: The aim of this study was to examine variations in stress, metabolic, and physiological parameters of horses used in the traditional equestrian team sport of Kök-Börü in relation to winning and losing outcomes.

Material And Methods: To accomplish this, blood samples were taken from horses on four different teams who participated in two separate games, both before and after game. These samples were used to measure levels of cortisol, ACTH, beta-endorphin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) via species-specific commercial ELISA kits.

Volumetric properties of disodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate aqueous solution from 283.15 to 363.15 K at 101.325 kPa.

The purpose of this exploration was to determine the density and volumetric properties of the aqueous solution of NaHPO with the molality varied from 0.08706 to 0.88402 mol·kg measured at temperature intervals of 5 K from 283.

[Prognostic factors for attack-like progredient schizophrenia].

The aim of the study was to determine a complex of clinical and biological factors capable to serve as criteria for early prognosis of attack-like progredient schizophrenia course. Three hundred patients with attack-like progredient schizophrenia comprised two groups--with poor outcome and with favorable one. Clinical features of the disease at its early stage, premorbid peculiarities, family history, organism reactivity (type of higher nervous activity, type of familial biochemical polymorphism, immunogenetic features) were studied.
