BACKGROUND There is no consensus regarding the treatment of Achilles insertional tendinopathies. Eccentric training remains the main choice in the conservative treatment of this illness; however, the good results in the management of non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy were not replicated in the insertional condition. Low energy shock wave therapy has been described as an alternative to these...

rapid expansion of the industrial sector adds more effluent into the agricultural land and in the vicinity of industry, which possesses the major threat of land contamination and environmental degradation. the present study was conducted to determine toxic metal concentration in fly ash and metal accumulation potential of the saccharum munja and cynodon dactylon, the two main grass species grow...

one of the major causes of spontaneous abortion before the fourth month of pregnancy is chromosomal abnormalities. we report an unusual case of a familial balanced chromosomal translocation in a consanguineous couple who experienced 4 spontaneous abortions. chromosomal studies were performed on the basis of g-banding technique at high resolution and revealed 46, xx, t (16 6) (p12 q26) and 46, x...

the short arm of rye (secale cereale l.) chromosome 1 (1rs), besides being part of the rye genome, is present in many hundred wheat cultivars as either 1rs.1bl or 1rs.1dl wheat-rye translocation. in this study, the distribution of the wheat–rye translocation was examined in 33 iranian winter and spring wheat cultivars, nine of which had a known donor of 1rs.1bl translocation and the other 24 we...

chromosomal defects are relatively frequent in infertile men however, translocations between the y chromosome and autosomes are rare and less than 40 cases of y-autosome translocation have been reported. in particular, only three individuals has been described with a y;21 translocation, up to now. we report on an additional case of an infertile man in whom a y;21 translocation was associated wi...
