ABSTRACT Genetic variation and variation in aggressiveness in Phialophora gregata f. sp. sojae, the cause of brown stem rot of soybean, was characterized in a sample of 209 isolates from the north-central region. The isolates were collected from soybean plants without regard to symptoms from randomly selected soybean fields. Seven genotypes (A1, A2, A4, A5, A6, M1, and M2) were distinguished ba...

Rats deprived of vitamin E for several months after weaning exhibit a faint brownish pigmentation of the uterus which gradually increases to chocolate-brown color as the deficiency progresses, and is associated with the gradual accumulation of coarse brownish granules within the smooth-muscle cells of the myometrium. A similar but somewhat less pronounced change occurs in the smooth musculature...

CASE REPORT A 57-year-old paraplegic male diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and complete spinal cord compression arrived at our clinic because of fever and purple discoloration of the urine. We diagnosed purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS) and treated him with oral ciprofloxacin and urinary catheter replacement. DISCUSSION PUBS is an unusual phenomenon that occurs predominantly in bedridden ...

Hydroxyurea is a cytostatic agent that has recently become the drug of choice in the treatment of various myeloproliferative diseases. The cutaneous side effects of hydroxyurea include xerosis, hyperpigmentation, nail discoloration, and scaling. Leg ulcers have only rarely been reported in association with hydroxyurea treatment. A 75-year-old woman presented with leg ulcers, nail discoloration,...

Results: The prevalence of diseases was found as gastrointestinal problem 71.7%, Diarrhea 71.7%, Blood pressure 52.2%, Asthma 49.9%, Eye problem 46.7%. Skin disease prevailed in the following order: Scabies 73.9%, Nail discoloration 69.6%, Urticaria 59.7%, Miliria and foliculities 56.5%. Again negligence of using personal protective equipment named safety boots, gloves and googles have signific...

grain discoloration caused by fungi agents, in crop season that the mature grain stage coincides with rain, it causes many damages. in this research effect of paddy discoloration of three varieties (hashemi, gohar and khazar) and disease index in two levels (high and low disease index levels) on grain apparent quality, milling properties and grain bending strength was investigated in a factoria...

Fusarium wilt (FW), caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen oxysporum f. sp. Tracheiphilum, is a serious threat to cowpea production worldwide. Understanding genetic architecture of FW resistance prerequisite combatting this disease and developing varieties. In current study, diversity panel 99 accessions was collected, they were infected single strain, FW-HZ. The index (DI) based on two indic...
