Background: To investigate thyroid function in preeclamptic patients in comparison with normal pregnant women. Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study free Thyroxine (T4), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels were measured in 100 preeclamptic patients and were compared with Free T4 and TSH levels in 101 normal pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. Patient...

Hydatid disease is highly endemic and mainly occurs in the regions of livestock husbandry, including central Europe, North America, Russia, northwestern Canada, and western China [1]. The larvae can penetrate the intestinal mucosa, subsequently flow into portal circulation and settle on the liver, and finally evolve into hepatic hydatidosis [1]. Two rare cases recently published in the Annals o...

Weibull Claes (Central Bacteriological Laboratory of Stockholm City, Stockholm, Sweden), and Hans Gyllang. Metabolic properties of some L forms derived from gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 89:1443-1447. 1965.-L forms of two gram-positive bacteria, a staphylococcus and a diphtheroid, were found to be devoid of catalase and cytochromes, whereas the normal bacteria from whi...

An rj-normal lattice is a distributive lattice with 0 such that each prime ideal contains at most n minimal prime ideals. A relatively ra-normal lattice is a distributive lattice such that each bounded closed interval is an /¡.-normal lattice. The main results of this paper are: (1) a distributive lattice L with 0 is 71,-normal if and only if for any %n, x,,*•', X e L such that x Ax. = 0 for an...

Her physician ordered retesting a week later and this time, Mary’s TSH was normal (1.99 mIU/L). The laboratory report also showed elevated free triiodothyronine (T3) of 8.1 pmol/L (normal range 2.6-5.7 pmol/L) and free th...

a b s t r a c t introduction: mercury is the second most metal pollutant in the world and has the potential to induce many pathologic conditions, especially in nervous system, such as depression. here we tried to find out if nitric oxide has any possible role in the pathophysiology of depression induced by this metal. although the role of nitric oxide has been shown in mood control, here we use...

LCH is the rare disease involving clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells, abnormal cells deriving from bone marrow and capable of migrating from skin to lymph nodes. The clinical presentation of LCH may occur in multiple organs: bone, skin, lymph nodes or pituitary gland, but clinical presentation of LCH rarely occurs in multiple endocrine systems. We presented a special case who was diagnose...
