INTRODUCTION Metabolic complications are common after kidney transplantation and can cause considerable morbidity and even threaten graft function. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and its impact on graft function in 10 years of follow-up of patients undergoing kidney transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was conducted on 73 patients who...

Human health risks associated with the consumption of three shellfish (<i>Penaeus monodon, Crassostrea rhizophorae</i>, and <i>Tympanostomus fuscatus</i>) harvested from Buguma, Krakrama, Bonny Rivers in Niger Delta region were evaluated this study. The bioaccumulation potential toxic elements (PTEs) [Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni)] was...

In highly polluted sites, stomatal behavior is sluggish with respect to light, vapor pressure deficit, and internal CO2 concentration (Ci) and poorly described by existing models. Statistical models were developed to estimate stomatal conductance (gs) of 40-year-old ponderosa pine at three sites differing in pollutant exposure for the purpose of calculating O3 uptake. Gs was estimated using jul...

Grain quality currently represents a major problem in high yielding rice production in Iran and many other rice producing areas of the world. Quality assessment of rice involves the function of sensory tests and physicochemical determinations based on the chemical composition, cooking quality, gelatinization temperature and physical properties of cooked rice. These research genetic materials we...
