rosmarinus officinalis is one of the most important medicinal and aromatic plants around the world. essential oil as a weapon against biotic and abiotic stresses plays an important role in essential oil bearing plants. in this study the essential oil content and constituent of plants containing bacterium-gall on the shoots and crown was compared with non-contaminated plants. essential oil perce...

The chronic consumption of mycotoxin-contaminated forage tends to the weight loss young cattle, decreasing reproductive success adult animals, milk yield, and tolerance high temperatures. aim this paper was study eff ects SNP C994G in CYP3A28 gene on productive characteristics dairy beef breeds. Cows were measured by body dynamics, exterior, reproduction, production traits, bone mineral density...

objective(s): bonenavi, a computer-aided diagnostic system, is used in bone scintigraphy. this system provides the artificial neural network (ann) and bone scan index (bsi) values. ann is associated with the possibility of bone metastasis, while bsi is related to the amount of bone metastasis. the degree of uptake on bone scintigraphy can be affected by the type of bone metastasis. therefore, t...

longevity of osseointegrated implants are intensely influenced by biomechanical factors. control of these factors prevents mechanical complications, which include fracture of screws, components, or materials veneering the framework. in this study, the impact of length and threads pitch of dental implants on the stress distribution and maximum von mises stress in implant-abutment complex and jaw...

conclusions metacarpal neck fractures are a common injury in young and active patients that results in substantial missed time from work. while the surgical indications are well-described, there is no consensus on the optimal treatment modality because of high complication rates. dorsal plating has higher complication rates than closed reduction and percutaneous pinning, but is necessary in com...

BACKGROUND Despite advances in surgical techniques, sterile protocols, and perioperative antibiotic regimens, surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a significant problem. We investigated the relationship between wound classification (i.e., clean, clean/contaminated, contaminated, dirty) and SSI rates in plastic surgery. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of a multi-institutional, su...

Three previous studies at Chernobyl, Ukraine, documented elevated mitochondrial DNA diversity in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from radioactively contaminated sites. Little evidence was found to link patterns of diversity in contaminated areas to radiation exposure, but the experimental design precluded discriminating among alternative explanations for elevated diversity in exposed group...

sixty sheep abomasums were randomly collected from shahrekord abattoir between april and september (2006). age and sex of the sheep were registered. all of the abomasums were transported to laboratory, nematodes, which were presented inside them, collected, and after calculating, their species and genus, were specified. abomasums that were contaminated by ostertagia or had gross damages were se...

The abundance of arsenic-tolerant diazotrophic bacteria was compared in a long-term contaminated soil versus a non-contaminated one. In addition, the characterization of tolerant diazotrophic bacteria was carried out. Differences in the number of heterotrophic N2 fixers were found between soils. Contaminated soil showed a decrease in the microbial population size of about 80%, confirming the gr...

Background: Surgical wound (site) infection is the commonest complication following laparotomy for clean-contaminated and contaminated abdominal operations. Good surgical technique and perioperative prophylactic antibiotics in clean-contaminated and contaminated abdominal operations contribute to the low rate of surgical wound infection and its complications. The objectives of this study were t...
