Factor Xa antagonists are used increasingly frequently for prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolic events stroke systemic emboli in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Individual characteristics patient, a need prolonged or life-long treatment, concomitant diseases, the use other drugs interacting anticoagulants increase risk side effects anticoagulation. We analyzed curre...

Arable fields of 10 organic farms from different locations within the Netherlands were sampled in four subsequent years. The soil samples were analysed for disease suppressiveness against Rhizoctonia solani, Streptomyces scabies and Verticillium dahliae. Furthermore, a variety of microbial characteristics and chemical and physical soil properties were assessed. All these characteristics and dif...

Background and aims: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of end-stage renal failure which could increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and morbidity and mortality in patients. The aim of this study was to investigate new modalities for treatment of diabetic nephropathy. Methods:This study was a mini-review research to investigate drugs that are used for DN treatment. Resul...

Knowledge about the fungal spores most abundant in the atmosphere of a vineyard is of great use since it allows development of prediction models of the spore concentration, and therefore application of phytosanitary treatments only when high levels of fungal propaguls are detected. In this study the concentration of phytopathogenic spores is related with the different phenological stages of the...

fungal conidia and spores are among various organisms found in the air, causing different types of mycoses. in this study (from february 1994 until march 1995) fungal spores and conidia were collected by their settlement on to petri - dishes from 33 locations in babol city during 4 seasons. plates of sabouraud dextrose agar were laid 1.5 m. from the ground and then sent to mycology laboratory w...

Hydrophobins are a group of very surface-active, fungal proteins known to self-assemble on various hydrophobic/hydrophilic interfaces. The self-assembled films coat fungal structures and mediate their attachment to surfaces. Hydrophobins are also soluble in water. Here, the association of hydrophobins HFBI and HFBII from Trichoderma reesei in aqueous solution was studied using small-angle x-ray...

background: amylin and salmon calcitonin belong to the calcitonin family of peptides and have high affinity binding sites in the rat spinal cord. the aim of this study was to characterize receptors for amylin and salmon calcitonin functionally in the spinal cord of rats. we assessed the expression of c-fos in response to intraplantar formalin in the lumbar regions of the spinal cord in consciou...

objective(s): herbal medicines are promising cancer preventive candidates. it has been shown that punica granatum l. could inhibit angiogenesis and tumor invasion. in this study, we investigated whether the anti-angiogenic effect of pomegranate peel extract (ppe) is partly attributable to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (ppars) activation in the human umbilical vein endothelial cell...

Background: The use of narcotics such as opium exposes addicts as susceptible targets of different diseases so that they might easily be exposed to different diseases such as fungal infections. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of addiction to opium and fungal infection on plasma levels of certain cytokines including interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-17, Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) a...
