background: goiter is thyroid enlargement, which is the most common visible symptom of iodine deficiency. some studies have shown iodine deficiency in water, soil, and food in many places worldwide. we aimed to determine the prevalence of goiter and the association between urine iodine levels in children with severity and prevalence of goiter in mountainous villages of kashan city (center of ir...

2.5 pounds of lime to 100 gallons of water) or zinc oxide (2 pounds to 100 gallons) may be used. For severe cases in Florida, twice the indicated dosage of zinc sulfate and lime is recommended. Sprays should be applied soon after new growth appears. Iron deficiency occasionally occurs in California, primarily in trees on calcareous soils. It is characterized by yellowing of the major portion of...

The effect of zinc deficiency on the function of the intestine to absorb water and electrolytes was studied in animal models, stimulated by Vibrio cholerae enterotoxin. Sprague-Dawley rats, used in the study, were divided into four groups: Zinc-deficient, ad libitum zinc-fed control, zinc weight-matched control, and zinc-deficient acutely-repleted. 14C-labelled polyethylene glycol solution was ...

introduction: more plains of iran are located in arid and semi-arid regions and so agricultural production systems depend heavily on water. recently, the reduction of water resources has become a serious threat for crop production such as cotton planting. therefore, application of low irrigation methods can be an appropriate method to cope with mentioned condition. in addition, it is vital to i...

INTRODUCTION Parkinson's disease arises from a combination of environmental and genetic risk factors. At present neither the curative nor preventative therapies are available; hence, there is an urgent need to develop reliable animal models to facilitate their development. Water soluble nanomiceller formulation of CoQ10 (Ubisol-Q10) has shown neuroprotection against neurotoxin on human neuronal...

It is very important to evaluate water quality in environment protection. Water environment is a complicated system, traditional methods cannot meet the demands of water environment protection. In view of the deficiency of the traditional methods, a BP neural network model and a RBF neural network model are proposed to evaluate water quality. The proposed model was applied to evaluate the water...

this research was conducted to study the effects of water deficiency stress, nitrogen application rates, and plant population on water use efficiency and nitrogen of oily sunflower in 2007-2008 agriculture and research center of west-azerbaijan. the study was consisted split-split-plot experiments using randomized complete block design with 3 replications. the factor main was consisted irrigati...

Disorders of body fluids are among the most commonly encountered problems in the practice of clinical medicine. This is in large part because many different disease states can potentially disrupt the finely balanced mechanisms that control the intake and output of water and solute. Since body water is the primary determinant of the osmolality of the extracellular fluid (ECF), disorders of water...

Gunshot injuries (GSI) of the cranial area have an extremely high mortality rate. Herein, we present a girl who has been living with a bullet in the posterior sellar region. A 6-year-old girl was admitted with complaints of headache, polyuria and polydypsia, which started after a GSI. At the time of admission the patient's anthropometric, physical and neurological examinations were normal. Urin...
