a two-year laboratory study on the biology (including self-fertilization) of bulinus truncatus, the intermediate host of schistosoma haematobium, s. bovis and paramphistomum microbotrium in iran, has revealed information on the longevity, reproduction, hatchability rate, hatching time during various months of the year, and growth and mortality rates of this snail. it was found that the reproduc...

Within the framework of statistical learning, many behavioural studies investigated the processing of unpredicted events. However, surprisingly few neurophysiological studies are available on this topic, and no statistical learning experiment has investigated electroencephalographic (EEG) correlates of processing events with different transition probabilities. We carried out an EEG study with a...

spinal cord compression due to extramedullary hematopoiesis is a well-described and rare syndrome encountered in several hematological disorders including β-thalassemia. hereby, a 37-year old pregnant woman with intermediate β -thalassemia with paraparesis and lower limb hypoesthesia was presented. mri showed soft tissue masses in both sides of thoracic paraspinal area. histologically, a mixtur...

background: &beta-thalassemia; is the most common monogenic disorder in human. the (ct) polymorphism at -158 upstream region of the &gammag-globin; gene and pharmacological factors such as hydroxyurea have been reported to influence &gamma-globin; gene expression and the severity of clinical symptoms of &beta-thalassemia.; methods: in the present study, 51 &beta-thalassemia; intermediate patie...

Stable carbon isotopic (δ13C) minimum events have been widely described in marine archives recording the properties of thermocline and intermediate waters during glacial terminations. However, mechanisms associated with these remain ambiguous. Here we present three high temporal resolution deep-dwelling planktonic foraminifera δ13C records from main one benthic record modern core Antarctic Inte...
