This study has been performed in Agriculture Research Directorated Labs, Ministry of
Science and Technology/Iraq, aimed to use different formulations of weaning food
contained different concentrations of black rice flour, brown rice, peas and oat c
hips. Some
physical treatments like cleaning, peeling and milling to rice and and germination, chard,
peeling, drying and milling to peas were used to make these four formulations, which were
chosed depended on chemical analysis (moisture, protein, ash, fiber, carbohydrate, fat and
energy) in addition the estimation of some minerals (Ca, Fe and Zn) comparing with
recommendation of FAO weaning food and functional properties; like bulk density (BD),
foam capacity (FC) and swelling power (SP). Sensory evaluation was also conducted.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of physiotherapy on ventilator weaning and lengths of intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Patients were divided into two groups. The control group, which received standard nursing care. The data of control p
atients who were not receiving physiotherapy were obtained from the hospital records. The intervention group was prospectively taken into the chest physiotherapy program. This study was conducted on sample of 30 patients in the ICU in alaassad university hospital. Demographics, diagnostic profiles, co-existing chronic diseases, respiratory parameters on admission, patient’s overall severity by Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, patient outcome, duration of stay in ICU, duration of ventilator support, and complications were assessed. The extubation time and length of ICU stay were compared between the two groups. Control patients had a longer period of ventilator dependency than the intervention patients and this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). It was noted that the resulting length of stay in the ICU was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Although the patients had similar diagnoses and physical features, the length of stay in the ICU was significantly lower in the intervention group. The results show that physiotherapy has a great impact on ventilatory dependency and length of stay in the ICU
This study was conducted at the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture
(Damascus Univ.), using twenty local rabbits.
These rabbits were housed, managed and fed under the same conditions.
They were identified and distributed into two groups according to the weaning
times (٢٨ vs ٤٢ days).
It was concluded that weaning time has no significant effect on meat
proportion in local rabbits.
