RESUMO
A biological experiment of 42 days duration was undertaken in which 384 day old chicks were divided into 12 dietary treatments as per 3×4 factorial design having 4 replicates per treatment with 8 birds in each. Twelve experimental diets were prepared by incorporating control (maize-soya based), two different levels of rice Distillers Dried Grains (rDDGS) 12.5 and 15%, without and with three different types of enzymes (xylanase, protease and multienzymes). The inclusion of rice based distillers dried grains with solubles (rDDGS), enzyme supplementation and their interaction revealed no significant (P>0.05) difference on the haematological parameters of broiler chicken. The serum cholesterol decreased significantly (P<0.01) at 15% rDDGS level as compared to control and 12.5% rDDGS level. The serum triglyceride decreased significantly (P<0.01) at 12.5 and 15% rDDGS levels compared to control diet. The serum glucose significantly (P<0.05) increased by multienzymes supplementation compared to xylanase and control diet. The serum total protein, albumin and globulin significantly (P<0.01) increased in protease supplemented groups as compared to control and other enzyme supplemented groups. The interaction of rDDGS levels and enzyme supplementation revealed no significant (P>0.05) effect on any of the serum parameters. Thus, it may be concluded that feeding of (rDDGS) up to 15% and soybean meal based diets without or with protease, xylanase and multienzymes in broiler chickens did not have any adverse effect on haematological and serological parameters. Protease supplementation has beneficial effect on serum biochemistry in DDGS diet.
RESUMO
Background: Hernia is generally defined as the protrusion of aviscus from the cavity in which it is normally contained or moreprecisely, as the protrusion of a loop or knuckle of an organ ortissue through an abnormal opening. Hence; the present studywas undertaken for assessing results of sutureless mesh repairof inguinal hernia.Materials & Methods: A total of 20 patients with inguinalhernia were enrolled in the present study. Patients who fulfilledthe inclusion criteria were included into the study after takingdetailed consent for the procedure. Inguinal hernia repair wasperformed by placing mesh on posterior inguinal wall andwithout applying fixation suture or glue. Postoperative follow-upwas done and Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used forassessment of postoperative pain on follow-up. All the resultswere recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were analyzed bySPSS software.Results: Majority of the patients i.e. 45 percent of the patientsbelonged to the age group of 41 to 50 years, followed by 35percent of the patients who belonged to the age group of 20 to30 years. Punched out/diverticular defect in transversalis fasciawas present in 10 percent of the cases while normal posteriorwall was present in 90 percent of the cases. Mean duration ofoperative procedure was 41.25 minutes. Mean postoperativepain score at 12 hour and 24 hours was 2.95 and 1.84respectively.Conclusion: Sutureless tension free mesh repair in thetreatment of inguinal hernia cases is an effective technique.However; further studies are recommended.
