A total of 394 (255 males,139 females) live freshwater crayfish Astacus leptodactylus from four stations of Aras reservoir in West Azarbaijan Province (North-Western Iran) were studied during the winter until early autumn of 2009 for the presence of parasites, Epibionts and Fungal agents. Parasitological surveys were carried out on gills exoskeleton and internal organs, mycological examinations...

The Astacus leptodactylus specimens were collected from four sites of Aras reservoir, North-West of Iran and examined for the epibionts during 2009. Protozoan epibionts from ciliophora (one genus and seven species) and tracheophyta were isolated from the cuticular surface of different body parts of narrow-claw crayfish, A.leptodactylus. Seasonal prevalence of infestation was determined in 394 i...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) remains underdiagnosed due to its nonspecific demonstrations. We aimed to both estimate the frequency of ARAS in high-risk non-selected patients undergoing simultaneous coronary and renal catheterization and possibly identify a predictive model for ARAS using baseline clinical, laboratory, and coronary angiographic variables. METHODS The...

BACKGROUND Aldosterone receptor antagonists (ARAs) have been associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFREF), but not in those with heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF). With the aim to study this topic more deeply, we carried out a meta-analysis of selective and non-selective AR...

occurances of cyanobacterial bloom typically appear in eutrophic lakes which either have been affected by anthropogenic nutrient loading or are naturally rich in nutrients. microcystis blooms have been reported all over the world in freshwater ecosystems mainly due to increased population which results in increased the waste water production. the aim of this study was to recognize the basic re...

Resource management is one of the main issues in Cloud Computing. In order to improve resource utilization of large Data Centers while delivering services with higher QoS to Cloud Clients, an automatic resource allocation strategy based on market Mechanism (ARAS-M) is proposed. Firstly, the architecture and the market model of ARAS-M are constructed, in which a QoS-refectitive utility function ...

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) raises blood pressure and can reduce kidney function. Revascularization of the stenotic renal artery alone does not restore renal medullary structure and function. This study tested the hypothesis that addition of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) can restore stenotic-kidney medullary tubular transport...

The efficacy of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in treatment of renovascular disease has been controversial. It has been reported that patients with incidental atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) are sometimes treated with ACE inhibitors before being considered for renal revascularization. This study was designed to describe the frequency and the characteristics of patie...
