Objective(s): Iran is considered as one of the high-prevalence areas for β-thalassemia with a rate of about 10% carrier frequency. Molecular diagnosis of the disease is performed both by direct sequencing and indirectly by the use of polymorphic markers present in the beta globin gene cluster. However, to date there is no reliable information on the application of the markers in the Iranian pop...

important aspect of sperm function such as motility and capacitation appear to be mediated at least partially though hyaloronic acid (ha). present study investigated effects of different doses of ha on sperm motility and vitality in human. sperm was obtained from 20 male from ivf clinic in imam khomeini hospital. sperm motility and vitality in human semen was analyzed according to who criteria ...

background: anti-sperm antibody (asa) can decrease sperm motility and, therefore, it is a cause of male infertility. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of varicocelectomy on anti-sperm antibody in patients with varicocele. methods: this observational study was conducted on 90 patients with varicocele at sina and imam khomeini hospitals during 2006 to 2009. all varicocelectomy can...

The beef industry has emphasized the improvement of feed utilization, as measured by modeling feed intake through performance traits to calculate residual feed intake (RFI). Evidence supports an inverse relationship between feed efficiency and reproductive function. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of reproductive assessments and RFI unadjusted (RFI(Koch)) or adjust...
