Corn fibre agricultural side streams can be upgraded into radical scavenging hydrogels with protective effects against cellular oxidative stress using mild biocatalytical processes.

the levels of serum tota1 protein, albumin, transaminases and phosphatases were estimated in a group of children with severe marasmus or mild malnutrition in order to identify some of the associated deficiencies in these syndromes. the biochemical pattern was similar in the normal and malnourished children.

The development of water stress resistant lines of commercial tomato by breeding or genetic engineering is possible, but will take considerable time before commercial varieties are available for production. However, grafting commercial tomato lines on drought resistant rootstock may produce drought tolerant commercial tomato lines much more rapidly. Due to changing climates and the need for com...

Stress is a multidimensional phenomenon which is focused on dynamic relationship between the individual and the environment. Studies indicated that medical professionals such as Medical students, Nurses and Nursing students experience many stressor agents. Hospitals are considered as one of the most stressful work environments, because there, it is the matter of humans’ death and life. Nursing ...

Drought stress occurring during the reproductive growth stage leads to considerable reductions in crop production and has become an important limiting factor for food security globally. In order to explore the possible role of drought priming (pre-exposure of the plants to mild drought stress) on the alleviation of a severe drought stress event later in development, wheat plants were subjected ...

background: according to the biopsychosocial model, menstrual symptoms are caused not only by a combination of biological factors such as hormonal disorders and lifestyle, but also by psychological and social factors such as working environment. this study aimed to determine the relation between occupational stress and dysmenorrhea in iranian midwives. materials and methods: this prospective co...

background: cryopreservation of semen requires optimized conditions to minimize the harmful effects of various stresses. the main approach for protection of sperm against stress is based on the use of antioxidants and cryoprotectants, which are described as defensive methods. recently, the application of controlled mild stressors has been described for activation of a temporary response in oocy...

introduction: stress induces impairment of performance is a relatively common issue in pilots of military aviation. the present study aimed at gathering preliminary data on the relationship between stress and job satisfaction among military pilots, so determine to what extent military pilots suffering from job satisfaction. methods: this study was cross- sectional in design and used survey meth...
