High-resolution analysis of growth increments, trace element chemistry and oxygen isotope ratios (δ18 O) in otoliths were combined to assess larval and post-larval habitat use and growth of Awaous stamineus, an amphidromous goby native to Hawai'i. Otolith increment widths indicate that all individuals experience a brief period of rapid growth during early life as larvae and that the duration of...

The morphogenesis of individual neurons was investigated in the cardiac ganglion of the frog. Intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase shows that mature neurons lack dendrites and have a single axon. Early in development, more than half of the neurons are multipolar and have as many as four processes emanating from their cell body. The most likely mechanism for the developmental transf...

the sugar beet moth, scrobipalpa ocellatella boyd. (lep.: gelechidae( is the specific pest of beet. the aim of the present study was to identify the parasitoids of the moth. in this regard, sampling was conducted in fields of khorasan-e-razavi province during 2010 from early july until october. larvae and pupa were collected along with tubers of sugar beet and then were reared under controlled ...

A hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval forms of mostly the Echinococcus granulosus. In humans, the most common site of cyst development is the liver (60%), followed by the lungs (20%), and much less commonly in other organs such as kidney, spleen, brain, and other soft tissues. The localization of cysts in muscles and subcutaneous is very rare. We report a case of 38-year-o...

We address the hypothesis that fish that grow rapldly as larvae also grow rapidly as juveniles. Winter flounder Pleuronectes amerlcanus were reared from hatching through the larval period and up to 2 mo into the juvenile period. Successive cohorts of fish which metamorphosed on the same day were pooled and measured at weekly intervals during the early juvenile period. Growth rates of larvae and...

To determine the effects of kimchi extracts at different temperatures on larval development, Ascaris suum eggs were mixed with soluble part of 7 different brands of commercially available kimchi and preserved at either 5℃ or 25℃ for up to 60 days. A. suum eggs incubated at 25℃ showed marked differences in larval development between kimchi extract and control group. While all eggs in the control...

background: maggot therapy has recently attracted considerable attention as an emerging debridement technique for wound healing. this study aimed to review the safety, effectiveness and economic evaluations of maggot debridement therapy for wound healing.   methods: to retrieve the relevant evidences, the cochrane library (until september 2014) was searched by appropriate keywords, using free t...
