background it has been shown that trend of achieving to millennium development goal 4 (mdg 4), varies by region and between countries, indicating the possibility of existing different barriers and/or facilitators. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the trend of under five mortality rate (u5mr), and infant mortality rate (imr) and explore the main challenges to reach mdg 4 by 2015. patients...

The pathogenicity of a Nervous Necrosis Virus isolate obtained from naturally infected Golden grey mullet (Liza auratus) suffering serious mortalities in Iranian coastline water of the Caspian Sea was investigated for first time. An experimental infection has been performed using three groups, two experimental groups and one control group of Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) with mean weight 0.47±0.0...

The proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells is one of the leading causes of liver cancer mortality in humans. The inhibiting effects of matrine on HCC cell proliferation have been studied, but the mechanism of that inhibition has not been fully elucidated. Since, apoptosis plays an important role in HCC cell proliferation. We examined the apoptosis-inducing effect of matrine on tu...

six hundred 1-d-old male broilers (ross 308) were assigned to four experimental groups; each was composed of 5 floor pen replications of 30 birds including control (no enalapril), 15, 30 and 60 ppm enalapril in the drinking water. from d 21 to 49, all the chicks were exposed to low ambient temperature to induce ascites. mortalities were inspected to determine the cause of death and diagnose of ...

This work aimed to characterize mortality by sickle cell disease in Brazil. The MEDLINE electronic database was searched using the terms 'mortality' and 'sickle cell disease' and 'Brazil' for articles published in the last five years aiming to provide a current analysis of the subject in question. Eight studies on mortality by sickle cell disease were carried out in the Brazilian states of Mara...
