A solitary report in the literature suggests that determination of phosphohexose isomerase (PHI; glucosephosphate isomerase, EC 5.3.1.9) activity in aqueous humor and serum may be a useful adjunct in the diagnosis f retinoblastoma (1). The aqueous humor/serum PHI ratio of 20 patients with retinoblastoma was compared with that for eight “controls” having intraocular diseases other than retinobla...

The propagation of plane waves in an isotropic chiral medium (ICM) is investigated. Simple conditions are derived — in terms of the constitutive parameters of the ICM— for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow. It is demonstrated that phase velocity and power flow may be oppositely directed provided that the magnetoelectric coupling is sufficiently strong.

The maintenance of Malassezia pachydermatis in fungal collections is very important for retrospective and prospective studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of Malassezia pachydermatis in different storage methods. After the identification process, M. pachydermatis strains were stored for six and nine months, in saline and saline plus mineral oil at 28 degrees C, as well as...

background:   objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aqueous and hydro-alcoholic extracts of lettuce seed on testosterone level and spermatogenesis.   materials and methods: in this experimental study 24 adult male nmri mice weighing 20-25gr were purchased. animals were randomly divided into 4 groups: controls, hydro-alcoholic (200 mg/kg) and aqueous extracts (50, 10...

The images acquired in haze conditions are significantly degraded due to the presence of atmospheric particles. These have low contrast, poor visibility, and some information is lost as well. characteristics severely hinder further processing applications which being used. polarimetric dehazing methods effective for direct imaging enhancing quality. In addition, capability cope with other turbi...

BACKGROUND Pain in children with rheumatic conditions such as arthritis is common. However, there is currently no standardized method for the assessment of this pain in children presenting to pediatric rheumatologists. A more consistent and comprehensive approach is needed to effectively assess, treat and monitor pain outcomes in the pediatric rheumatology population. The objectives of this stu...
