paris polyphylla smith var. yunnanensis (liliaceae) is an important traditional medicinal plant of the yunnan province in china. however, the genomic information regarding this plant is limited. to further understand its molecular background, we conducted illumina hiseq 2000 second-generation sequencing of this plant species. approximately 30,198,679 reads with an average length of 202 bases we...

the objective of the present study was to determine the grades of nonspecific bacterial infection of genitalia of repeat breeding cattle by a simple and rapid test under field condition. for this purpose, a total of 100 crossbred jersey cows comprising of 80 repeat breeding animals presented for treatment and 20 normal cyclic (control group) animals presented for artificial insemination at thei...

bovine genital campylobacteriosis is one of the most economically important diseases of dairy cattleresulting in lowered fertility, embryo mortality and abortion, repeated returns to service, reduced pregnancyrates and extended calving intervals. while the occurrence of repeat breeding syndrome and abortions arereported from many iranian dairy cattle farms, little information is available regar...

mutations of the androgen receptor (ar) gene give rise to a wide array of phenotypic abnormalities. various mutations of the ar gene and expanded polyglutamine repeats (cag) at exon 1 of the gene have been reported in patients with infertility and neurodegenerative diseases. however, the role of the ar gene trinucleotides repeats has not been systemically studied in those with hypospadias or ge...

COVID-19 pandemic-related pressures on primary care may have driven the inappropriate continuation of antibiotic prescriptions. Yet, prescribing modality (repeat/non-repeat) has not previously been investigated in a pandemic context. With approval NHS England, we conducted retrospective cohort study >19 million English patient records using OpenSAFELY-TPP analytics platform. We analysed repe...

The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (GH) on target tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of TG-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine GHR gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle of Iran. The part of 5’...

  Background: Routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. We figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not.   Methods : We examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white...
