psoas abscesses could originate from an adjacent source of infection in the abdominopelvic cavity known as a secondary complication of acute appendicitis. however, it is considered as a very rare event when occurring late after the presentation of appendicitis. whether it is the source or complication of acute appendicitis following appendectomy remains unclear. a 25-year-old man was admitted t...

members of the family laccophyllidae are small, solitary rugose corals with stratigraphic ranges from silurian to permian. among the laccophyllids, axial ends of major septa are united in an aulos and dissepiments may be absent or present. minor septa can be contratingent and sometimes are small or in some genera are absent. septa and aulos may be thick or thin. in this study, famennian rugose ...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of parenteral supplementation of cobalt, copper and iron in late pregnancy on ewe hematology parameters and lamb vigour. twenty ewes were allocated to one of two groups (n=10). in the test group, on day 120 ofpregnancy, cobalt, copper and iron were injected at a dose of 0.1 ml/kg bw (fercobsang, france, cobalt gluconate 5 mg/100 ml, copper ...

Infections affecting infants in the hospital nursery are generally divided into those with a prenatal onset and early- and late-onset postnatal infections. Little attempt has been made to differentiate infections affecting infants more than a week of age from those with an onset at several months of age. Three cases are presented which demonstrate how, currently, infants far older than one mont...

 Abstract Background: Mustard gas, lethal in high doses, affects multiple organs such as skin, eye and respiratory system.

for the first time, an assemblage of cryptospores, which includes 10 species belonging to nine genera, from the upper ordovicianstrata, is being reported, in iran. these cryptospore assemblages were recovered from the upper part of ghelli formation., from theeastern alborz mountain range. these peri-gondwanan cryptospores have been classified based on their morphology (monad, truedyad, pseudody...

rhaetian strata from the nayband formation of the tabas block, east- central iran, were studied palynologically. the materialexamined contained moderately diverse and well-preserved dinoflagellate cyst assemblages which lead to the identification ofrhaetogonyaulax rhaetica zone. the assigned age of this dinozone (rhaetian) is justified by plant fossils such as equisetitesarenaceus, scytophyllum...

this study was performed to identify endometrial cancer risk factors. in a case series study on 1989-1996 , we assessed endometrial cancer in 52 patients whose age range was 32-80 years, with 73% over fifty years. obesity was seen in 68% at time of cancer detection , and 69% were in the postmenopausal age, with a history of late menopause in 21%. as a matter of parity 13% were nulliparous, and ...

abstract the goal of this experiment was to save apricot flowers from late spring frost damage. this experiment was conducted during 2007-2008 to examine the effect of application of different concentrations of gibberellic acid in two forms pure (ga3) and impure (berelex) at (0, 50, 100, 200, 300 mgl-1) at 23 august and 23 september to delay flowering in apricot asgarabad cultivar. a factorial ...
