A case of haemoglobin Bart's hydrops syndrome was characterised in a Greek family with a history of three other fetuses with hydrops. Family studies showed that both the mother and father carried alpha-thalassaemia genes, and globin-chain synthesis analysis of the present fetus showed a total absence of alpha-chain production. The haemoglobin composition of the fetus was similar to that seen in...

Aim To estimate the burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) in South East Asia. Methods We reviewed the evidence from the published literature found through a systematic review in Medline, Embase, and Global Health and from unpublished data on cancer registries, which were sourced from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Incidence rates were summarized by calculating descriptive statisti...

The SEA-ORCHID project (South East Asia Optimising Reproductive Child Health in Developing countries) initiated a survey among undergraduate medical students at five South-East Asia universities to ascertain their understanding of evidence-based practice, information seeking practices, access to Information Technology and evidencebased databases as well as their understanding of clinical practi...

Groundwater is one of the most important water resources especially for irrigation in the east of Iran. So, it is important to note its water quality variation for deciding to manage it. To this end, the study were done to zone Birjand plain located at latitude between 32˚ 30’-33˚ 00’ N and longitude between 58˚ 45’-59˚ 41’ E. In order to achieve this goal, the required layers, Sodium adsorptio...

We present a computer proof for the empirical observation of Gessel that the number of closed paths in the quarter plane with steps going east, west, south-east, and north-west has a nice closed form.

Xylem sap flux density (Fd) was measured, on a 43-year-old (mature) and three 4-year-old (young) mango (Mangifera indica L.) trees, using Granier-type probes. The relative influences of environmental variables were examined under well-watered condition. Circumferential variation in Fd was also investigated by placing sensors on the north, south-west and south-east sides of the mature tree. Sap ...
