Blood chemistry values were obtained from 62 clinically normal, free-living green sea turtles,Chelonia mydas, in order to establish normal blood chemistry values for this species in the Arabian Gulf. Sampled individuals were classed by sex and size for analysis.

The Eastern Pacific green turtle (EPGT) has been differentiating from the green turtle and is currently being considered a separate population. In this study, values for hematology and biochemistry of 85 green turtles captured from 2010 to 2014 were analyzed. These animals correspond to a resident foraging population at Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica. All of them underwent a physical examination and were deemed apparently healthy. Hematological analyses were done using manual methods, while seric metabolites were determined with automated and semi-automated spectrophotometry. According to the curved carapace length (CCL) measurements, the subadult individuals were the most frequent (n = 74). The predominant cells were heterophils, followed by lymphocytes. Basophils were observed in 75% of the slides and in a proportion as high as 43%. Up to 80 samples were analyzed for the following seric parameters: total protein (2.6-6.2 g/dL), albumin (1-2.7 g/ dL), globulin (1.2-4.1 g/dL), glucose (54-145 mg/dL), cholesterol (58-336 mg/dL), ureic nitrogen (0-12 g/dL), creatinine (0.1-0.7 mg/dl), phosphorus (3.4-17 mg/dl), calcium (4.9-10.2 mg/dl), magnesium (5.2-12.8 mg/dl), uric acid (0.1-2.8 mg/ dL), triglycerides (14-743 mg/dl), alanine aminotransferase (0-13 U/L), aspartate aminotransferase (82-289 U/L) and seric alkaline phosphatase (41-1263 U/L). These data can aid health status and conservation programs for the EPGT in this and nearby, similar locations.

The Effects of Feeding on Hematological and Plasma Biochemical Profiles in Green (Chelonia mydas) and Kemp's Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) Sea Turtles2011 •
In mammals, lipemic blood from sampling too soon after an animal feeds can have substantial effects on biochemical values. Plasma biochemical values in reptiles may be affected by species, age, season, and nutritional state. However, fasting status is not routinely considered when sampling reptile blood. In this paper, we evaluated 2-hour postprandial blood collection in two sea turtle species to investigate the effects of feeding on hematological and plasma biochemical values. Feeding had no significant effects on hematological values in either species, nor did it have an effect on plasma biochemistry values in Kemp's ridley sea turtles. In postprandial green turtles, total protein, albumin, ALP, AST, ALT, amylase, and cholesterol increased significantly, and chloride decreased significantly. Although statistically significant changes were observed, the median percent differences between pre- and postprandial values did not exceed 10% for any of these analytes and would not lik...
Traditionists refrain from using reason in religion. They are taught – wrongly – that reason is an “enemy” of religion. There is a perception that the use of reason in religion could turn a Muslim into an unbeliever. The disparagement of reason is a legacy of the persecution of the Mutazilites. For they relied on reason in preference to tradition to understand revelation. The Mutazilites also emphasized tauhid and justice, key teachings of revelation, not always sufficiently emphasized by traditionists. The disparagement to reason brought confusion. Anti-rationalism prevented the umma from comprehending the Book of Allah. The repression of reason was a manifestation of “intellectual suicide.” It spawned a culture of “intellectual retardation.” How does a person follow what he or she does not understand? This was a tragedy. The repression of reason triggered a paralysis of Muslim thought. The breakdown of reason corrupted knowledge. Expressions of textual and juristic shirk are particularly troubling. The bias against reason enabled the subordination of reason to tradition. The reticence to use reason resulted from the perception that the utilization of reason in understanding revelation is kufr. The retreat from reason permitted unwarranted perceptions to enter the teaching of revelation undetected. The reticence to use reason enabled a range of misperceptions to taint the teaching of revelation. These encompass the perceptions that revelation is in parts “ambiguous” and “contradictory.” They also encompass the perceptions that tradition is “revelation” and that tradition “clarifies,” “abrogates” and even “replaces” parts of revelation. The subordination of revelation to tradition was justified by the perception that tradition is also “revelation,” and that revelation requires “explanation” by tradition. This assertion rests upon the assumption that revelation is in parts “unclear.” This presumption is problematic as the Book of Allah says it is “clear.” The subjugation of revelation to tradition corrupted the knowledge of revelation. It enabled rulings from traditions, without foundations in revelation, to be embedded in jurisprudence. These encompass the death penalties for adultery and apostasy. Rehabilitation of reasoning requires a re-engagement of reason in understanding revelation as well as tradition, a desacralization of tradition, and a restoration of revelation to its pre-eminence in relation to tradition. This should assist in addressing aberrations produced by the subordination of revelation and reason to tradition. Because of their reluctance to engage reason, exegetes began to misunderstand revelation. Parts of it began to appear “unclear” and even “contradictory” to them. Hence, they designated parts of revelation as “unclear.” As reason could not be used to explain revelation, exegetes turned to tradition. The “explanation” of revelation would be provided by tradition. Tradition would explain, for example, the right way to pray. To bolster its authority vis-à-vis reasoning, tradition was presented as revelation. Tradition was presented as revelation not just as wahy (inspiration) but as tanzil (what Allah sent down). This enabled tradition to be treated as a root of legislation. In different words, the justification for “supplementary” revelation in the form of tradition was provided by the allegation that revelation was “incomplete.” To allege that the Book of Allah requires “completion” by tradition is to attribute a flaw to revelation, to doubt its perfection. The treatment of tradition as “revelation” meant that there were two revelations: the Book of Allah and the traditions. The presumption was that tradition would “explain” and “detail” revelation. However, a problem lurks in the background: does the duality of revelation presuppose a duality of divinity?
