© 2016 Journal of ophthalmic and Vision research | published by Wolters KluWer medKnoW Sir, We read with great interest the article titled “Association between refractive errors and ocular biometry in Iranian adults” by Hashemi et al[1] The authors aimed to evaluate the association between refractive errors and ocular biometry. We appreciate their valuable study and would like to make a comment...

Despite the use of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccines and preventive measures, infection with HBV remains a major global health problem. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk of acquiring HBV infections from shared dialysis equipment, increased exposure to blood products, and immunodeficiency associated with CKD (1, 2). In addition, they may be more likely to develop...

Sagitaria trifolia, Alisma plantago-aquatica and Echinochloa spp. are among the most important damaging weeds in paddy fields. In this research, Alternaria pellucida was isolated from the weeds and then its pathogenicity effects was examined on these weeds and five other rice cultivars, including two bred (Sepidroud and Khazar) and three landraces (Ali Kazemi, Hashemi and Binam), in a completel...

abstract: a combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) with headspace solid-phase micro extraction (spme) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of three different rice cultivar, including two modified iranian rice cultivars and hashemi rice cultivar during gelatinization. the proposed combination provided a powerful system for easy and rapid screening of a...

rice plants are injured at the seedling stage in early spring in northern iran. in order to study rice response to cold stress, the expression of osdreb1a, osap37, osmyb3r-2, and osnac6 genes encoding transcription factors was observed in 14-day-old seedlings of cold-tolerant genotype pr and cold-sensitive cv. hashemi during cold stress (5°c for 24 h) using the differential display method and t...
