production, reproduction, management and economic parameters resulted from recordings of 5 flocks comprised of 720 heads of native goats during annual cycle of reproduction in transhumance, village and farming systems were employed to determine the performance of traits, cost-profit analysis as well as breeding objective. the overall mean for number of salable kid per goat in transhumance, vill...

In the early 1960s, we used the few antiarrhythmic drugs available empirically, presuming that every premature ventricular contraction had to be suppressed. This presumption spurred ever greater effort, much of it going into antiarrhythmic drug development.' Throughout the 1980s, one new drug was being developed about every six months,2 and the number of antiarrhythmic prescriptions rose expone...

All organisms are probably exposed to different types of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This study is an attempt to evaluate the effect of extremely low-frequency EMFs (50 Hz) on some growth parameters and survival rate of common carp fingerling. The fry (n = 120, averaged 16.76 ± 0.88 g in initial weight) was exposed to ELF-EMF at four intensities of 0.1, 0.5, 1 and 2 mT only once for 2 h and ...

  The effects of water current increment on rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) culture were investigated   during a 35 day experiment. Fish weighing 5.5 g were stocked in aquarium tanks. Four different water speeds (0, 3.5, 7, 10.5 cm/s) were provided for each treatment in three replicates. These different currents water were provided by reusing outlet water of each culture unit...

Ovarian cancer is of epithelial origin in 60% of the patients. Most patients present at an advanced stage due to the lack of specific symptoms except for mucinous ovarian cancer where abdominal distension is so severe that patients present very early in the disease. Once the diagnosis is suspected, the patient usually undergoes a transvaginal ultrasonography, abdomen-pelvic CT scan and CA-125 c...

BACKGROUND Stomach cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. In Iran, the mortality of stomach cancer is the first cause of death due to cancer in both sexes. This study was designed to estimate survival rate of stomach cancer at national level. METHODS From the national cancer registry file, 3439 cases of stomach cancer that had telephone number and were diagnosed between year...
