Urinothorax is seen quite rarely in the etiology of pleural effusion. Pleural effusion due to urine accumulation in the thorax is known to be secondary to urinary obstruction, trauma, retroperitoneal inflammatory or malignant process, failed nephrostomy or kidney biopsy. The lack of reported cases may be owing to the lack of suspicion. This is a report of a patient with urinothorax, resulting f...

In 1960, J. J. Gibson reviewed technical uses of the term stimulus and found that it did not have a consistent agreed-upon definition, but instead connoted several diVerent conceptions of ‘‘stimulating’’ an organism. Most of those conceptions did, however, have a property also found in the word’s original uses: A stimulus is a temporally discrete, momentary happening in the life of an organism....

g-frames in hilbert spaces are a redundant set of operators which yield a repre-sentation for each vector in the space. in this paper we investigate the connection betweeng-frames, g-orthonormal bases and g-riesz bases. we show that a family of bounded opera-tors is a g-bessel sequences if and only if the gram matrix associated to its denes a boundedoperator.

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of miRNAs may disturb miRNAs processing, alter their expression, and ultimately affect an individual’s susceptibility to cancer. We conducted a case-control study to evaluate the association of rs353293 G>A with the risk of thyroid cancer in the Iranian population. Methods: 192 patients with thyroid cancer including (pap...

The chromosomal spread and karyotype of Anjak (Schizocypris altidorsalis) from Hamoun Lake were determined using tissue squashing techniques with an injection of 1 mL/100 g body weight of 0.01% colchicines solution. Kidney and gill epithelia tissues were removed and used for karyotype analysis. The analysis of 145 chromosome spreads revealed the diploid chromosome number of this fish, 2n=48 and...
