The Tazerj travertine deposits are located 25 km northwest of Haji Abad and 5 km northeast of Tazerj Village in Hormozgan Province, southern Iran. This area is part of the Folded Zagros Zone. The studied travertine deposits are located on Eocene deposits and were most likely formed through the dissolution and re-deposition of groundwater and atmospheric waters onto the Asmari limestone. The pet...

AIM To review the existing literature on the role and significance of intestinal transglutaminase 2 immunoglobulin A deposits (TG2 deposits) in patients with overt celiac disease (CD), potential celiac disease (PCD), and other autoimmune or gluten-related conditions. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of studies published in English, evaluating presence and characteristics of TG2 deposi...

pb-zn deposits in the kurdistan region, northern iraq, have occurred mainly as a stratabound and open-space filling ore bodies. they are hosted by dolostone and dolomitic-limestone of platform carbonates. the ore deposits at the studied dure and lefan areas are respectively hosted by kurra chine (upper triassic) and bekhme (upper cretaceous) formations. pyrite, sphalerite and galena are the maj...

Key words: IgG cryoglobulinaemia; leukocytoclastic festations in their study of 21 patients with type I cryoglobulinaemia in 25% of cases. The renal mani-vasculitis; monoclonal cryoglobulinaemia; membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) festations may result from massive subendothelial deposits of cryoglobulins, or diffuse glomerulonephritis with subendothelial deposits similar to those...

aeolian landforms are very sensitive to wind erosion. afforestation of degraded sandy land soils is regarded the most effective strategy against wind erosion. the aim of this study is to estimate decreasing in wind erosion rate by afforestation of these landforms. in this research, geomorphological areas have been used as homogeneous units. research data are including scores of petrology, terra...

AIMS Neuronal death is a major neuropathological hallmark in prion diseases. The association between the accumulation of the disease-related prion protein (PrP(Sc) ) and neuronal loss varies within the wide spectrum of prion diseases and their experimental models. In this study, we investigated the relationships between neuronal loss and PrP(Sc) deposition in the cerebellum from cases of the si...

A detailed ultrastructural study was made of the synovial iron deposits in cases of haemophilic synovitis (HS), pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), seronegative inflammatory arthritis (SNA), and in controls, to investigate the relationship between iron deposits and tissue damage. Iron was seen by electron microscopy in about 75% of synovial l...

Purpose EFEMP1 (fibulin-3) is mutated in Malattia Leventinese/Doyne's honeycomb retinal dystrophy (ML/DHRD), an inherited macular dystrophy similar to AMD. Both ML/DHRD and AMD are characterized by the presence of sub-RPE deposits. Efemp1 knockout mice do not develop sub-RPE deposits. This study was to test whether sub-RPE deposits can be induced in Efemp1 knockout mice by experimentally applie...

The Skellefte mining District is located in northern Sweden and comprises Palaeoproterozoic, metamorphosed, supracrustal rocks and associated intrusive rocks, which are all host to several ore deposits. Modelling was performed in the GoCAD software platform, using structural geology and petrology as well as magnetic, gravity, seismic, electric and electromagnetic geophysical data, in order to p...
