the purpose of this study was to profiled the body composition, anthropometric and physical fitness qualities of iranian national adolescent volleyball players, and quantified relationships between these characteristics. the sample of this study was 40 national adolescent volleyball players (age: 17.9±0.3). body composition factors: (weight, bmi, whr, body fat percentage, muscle mass) and anthr...

Carriers of balanced reciprocal translocations may have a (high) risk for producing liveborn children with an unbalanced karyotype. We report a large family in which a translocation between the long arm of chromosome 11 and the short arm of chromosome 13 is segregating in at least five generations. During the course of our study 15 carriers of the balanced translocation were identified and nine...

BACKGROUND The use of the radial artery (RA) in coronary bypass operations has become increasingly popular in recent years, but there is almost no documentation regarding the midterm and long-term arm complications. METHODS Between January 1 and December 31, 1998, 109 patients underwent operations for myocardial revascularization employing a pedicled RA as 1 of the coronary grafts. The patien...

The morphology of the musculature and connective tissues of the arms of Octopus bimaculoides was analyzed with light microscopy. We also studied O. briareus and O. digueti, which possess relatively more elongate and less elongate arms, respectively. The morphology of the arms was found to be remarkably uniform among species. The arms consist of a densely packed three-dimensional arrangement of ...

We used two gametocidal (Gc) chromosomes 2C and 3C(SAT) to dissect barley chromosome 4H added to common wheat. The Gc chromosome induced chromosomal structural rearrangements in the progeny of the 4H addition line of common wheat carrying the monosomic Gc chromosome. We conducted in situ hybridization to select plants carrying rearranged 4H chromosomes and characterized the rearranged chromosom...

Small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) having duplex lengths of 25-29 bp are normally processed by Dicer into short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) before incorporation into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). However, shRNAs of ≤ 19 bp [short shRNAs (sshRNAs)] are too short for Dicer to excise their loops, raising questions about their mechanism of action. sshRNAs are designated as L-type or R-type accor...

The research study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the regimen of 5-flurouracil with cisplatin of investigational arm with the reference regimen of gemcitabine with cisplatin for the treatment of gallbladder cancer. A total of 60 patients were enrolled in the study. Out of 30 patients enrolled in arm-A (Gemcitabine with Cisplatin) and 30 patients enrolled in arm-B (5-Fluroura...
