Abstract
Background The ever-increasing market of functional meat products demanded especially by modern health conscious consumers has prompted researchers to develop healthier meat products. Aims This experiment was conducted to improve the dietary fiber-deficient buffalo meat with natural functional fiber-rich extenders. Methods Meat obtained from the carcass of adult female buffalo (>10 years of age) was procured from the local market within 5-6 h of slaughter, conditioned for 24 h, and then processed by incorporating the dietary fiber-rich extenders at their optimum levels viz. 12% barley flour, 12% maize flour, 10% pea hull powder, and 8% wheat bran (hydrated as 1:1, w/w) for the development of functional restructured buffalo meat fillets (FRBMF). Results Results revealed higher cooking yield, pH, moisture content, lower protein, and fat percentage for most of the treated samples compared with the control group. The ash percentage of FRBMF prepared with the optimum level of pea hull powder and wheat bran was significantly higher (P<0.05) than in control and other treatments. Shear force values for FRBMF were lower than the control. Total dietary fiber (TDF) percentage of all the treatment products was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the control. Texture profile analysis revealed no significant differences (P>0.05) between FRBMF and the control. The sensory scores for most of the attributes of FRBMF incorporated with the optimum level of extenders were lower but comparable to the control. Conclusion It was concluded that the functionality of the product had improved, especially in terms of total dietary fiber, as compared to the control. Pea hull powder and wheat bran proved to be excellent sources of dietary fibers, followed by barley and maize flours, respectively.

Abstract
A trial was conducted on 12 buffaloes naturally infested with Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus to evaluate the efficacy of eprinomectin pour-on at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg body weight. A reduction in live tick count by 45.94, 63.96, 81.53, 90.54, 98.19 and 100 % was observed on days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 and 21 post-treatment, respectively. The reinfestation of ticks was not observed up to 42 days of trial period. On the basis of the present trial of eprinomectin pour-on, it can be recommended for use in dairy buffaloes against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infestation.

Abstract
This article reviews numerical simulations of red blood cells (RBCs) mainly using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), focusing on the 2-dimensional deformation and aggregation of the cells in simple shear flow. We outline the incorporation of the immersed boundary method into the LBM, in which the membrane forces are obtained from the membrane model. The RBCs are simulated as a single biconcave capsule and as a doublet of biconcave capsules. The transition from swinging to tumbling motions of the RBCs, as induced by reducing the shear rate or increasing the membrane bending stiffness, is discussed. Also discussed is the aggregation tendency of the doublet of RBCs, for which homogenous deformability maintained RBC aggregation, whereas an increased deformability difference resulted in RBC dissociation.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of short chain fatty acid administration in mesenteric ischemia reperfusion in rats. METHODS Sixteen 60-day-old male Wistar rats were divided into two groups of eight each. In group I (n=8) normal saline (10 ml/kg) was injected into the ileal lumen. Ischemia reperfusion was achieved by clamping the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 30 min and then releasing it for another 30 min. The ileum was harvested for histopathological examination. In group II (n=8) a mixture of short chain fatty acids (10 ml/kg) was injected into the ileal lumen. Ischemia reperfusion was achieved in a similar fashion and the ileum harvested for histopathological examination. Injury was graded according to Chiu's score. RESULTS The ileum in rats from group II showed a lower injury score (0.013+/-0.354) compared to ileum from rats in group I (4.631+/-0.521), and this difference was significant (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Short chain fatty acids significantly decreased the degree of reperfusion injury in the gut in a rat model of mesenteric ischemia reperfusion.

Abstract
A survey into the attitudes of anaesthetists to features in monitoring instruments, particularly the design of alarms, visual warnings, alarm limits and the general instrument interface is reported. Questions in the survey had short introductions outlining a clinical scenario followed by items that proposed alternative design features that an instrument might have. Participants were asked to grade their responses to these alternatives on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The results suggest that anaesthetists would welcome the use of more advanced technology in instrument design. They prefer context-specific messages and alarms. They reject overt control systems for delivering anaesthesia, except for use in exceptional circumstances. Generally, the preferences of anaesthetists are consistent with known principles of safe, ergonomic design.

Abstract
Increasingly, proteins are delivered to the respiratory tract as an aerosol, and clinical efficacy is dependent on optimal delivery of the protein in an intact form. The object of this study was to compare the in vivo and in vitro results of two aerosol delivery systems for the aerosolization of recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Patients with CF who were to be initiated on rhDNase were randomized either to the Hudson nebulizer and Pulmo-Aide compressor or to the Sidestream nebulizer driven by the CR50 air compressor. An in vitro study was performed in six sets of the two aerosol delivery systems. One hundred and seventy three patients were randomized in this open study, where rhDNase was administered for 7 days. Improvements in pulmonary function were observed in both groups following 1 week of therapy with rhDNase. Changes in the Sidestream/CR50 and Hudson/Pulmo-Aide groups, respectively, were: 16 and 11% for forced expiratory volume in one second (p=0.14); 12 and 10% for forced vital capacity (p=0.70); and 14 and 7% for forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of expiration (FEF(25-75)) (p=0.18). A greater proportion of patients in the Sidestream/CR50 group (58%) had a >10% response in FEF(25-75) compared to the Hudson/Pulmo-Aide group (42%; p=0.03). The Sidestream nebulizer had a faster nebulization rate (p<0.05), lower mass median diameter for the aerosol mass produced (p<0.001), higher percentage of particles in the respirable range (p<0.001) and greater respirable output (p<0.005), compared to the Hudson nebulizer. The Sidestream/CR50 combination is a quicker, more efficient system in vitro than the Hudson/Pulmo-Aide combination, whereas the in vivo study only suggested a difference. Clinically, the two systems have similar efficacy.
