background: it is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum psa in iranian population. objective: to determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (psa) concentration and psa density (psad) and prostate volumes in a population of he...

Kochia [Bassia scoparia (L.) A.J. Scott] is an invasive C 4 tumbleweed in the Great Plains of North America, where it impedes crop harvest and causes significant yield losses. Rapid evolution spread glyphosate- acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor-resistant kochia western Canada limit herbicide options available for control these biotypes field pea (Pisum sativum L.); one predominant pulse cro...

The objective of this research was to compare various novel herbicides for efficacy in fallow. An experiment compared residual preemergence weed control While most provided good kochia early on, only the treatments containing Alite 27 (isoxaflutole) controlled 90% or more by 50 days after treatment. Similarly, Russian thistle 83% early. However, declined such that as much 74% later season.

we assessed the lower urinary tract symptoms (luts) in prostatic cancer patients and investigated the sensitivity and specificity of international prostate symptom score (ipss) in the screening of these patients. a total number of 132 prostatic cancer patients as the case group who were confirmed by the pathologists and 101 noncancerous men as the control group, aged 50 or older, responded to a...

background prostate is an important male reproductive system gland and its disorders can affect men's quality of life and health. prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph), and prostate adenocarcinoma are major disorders that can be found in all men in different ages. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the association of diet with serum prostate specific antigen (psa) lev...

Aphid parasitoids of the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) of northeastern Iran were studied in this paper. A total of 29 species are keyed and illustrated with line drawings. The aphidiines presented in this work have been reared from 42 aphid host taxa occurring on 49 plant taxa from a total of 33 sampling sites. Sixty-six aphidiine-aphid-plant associations are presented. Trioxys...
