Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed how lidocaine and prilocaine, local anesthetics (LAs), affect the muscle responses of rat trachea during airway spasms.
  • Researchers used 16 male rats and observed the tracheal contractions after applying these LAs, comparing their effects at different tension levels (basal and supramaximal).
  • The results showed that lidocaine significantly relaxed tracheal tissue more than prilocaine, especially during stronger contractions, suggesting lidocaine is the better choice for patients with respiratory risks.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum mineral levels and parasite load in Saanen (n=37) and Damascus (n=13) goats, which were all approximately 2 months pregnant and naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes.

Methods: To determine parasite concentration individually, fecal samples were taken from each goat, and the eggs per gram (EPG) of feces was detected via a modified McMaster technique. To investigate the possible effects of parasite concentration on serum mineral levels, blood was drawn from the goats and serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, nickel, and cadmium levels were measured via the ICP-OES technique.
