Birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6-month weight (W6), 9-month weight (W9) and yearling weight (YW) of Kermani lambs were used to estimate genetic parameters. The data were collected from Shahrbabak Sheep Breeding Research Station in Iran during the period of 1993-1998. The fixed effects in the model were lambing year, sex, type of birth and age of dam. Number of days between birth date a...

background mumps, measles and rubella viruses lead to various kinds of complica- tions such as meningoencephalitis, deafness, congenital abnormalities and even cause mortality in malnourished patients,. since 2004, mmr vaccination in two series of one year of age and four to six years has been administered to iranian children as a part of routine vaccination program. recently, mmr vaccination s...

conclusions surgical repair of the congenital mv disease yields acceptable early and intermediate-term satisfactory valve function and good survival at intermediate-term follow-up. strong predictors for poor surgical outcome and death were age smaller than 1 year, weight smaller or equal than 6 kg, and associated cardiac anomalies such as pulmonary stenosis. objectives the aim of this study was...

the objective of the current study was to estimate the genetic parameters for body weight traits at different ages in iran-black sheep. data collected during a 24-year period (1984-2008) on body weight were used to model the growth trajectory and estimate genetic parameters. studied traits were birth weight (bw), weaning weight at 3 months of age (ww), 6 months weight (6mw), 9 months weight (9m...

Introduction: Adenotonsillectomy is one of the most frequent surgical operations on children, which may result in weight gain in a number ways, for instance, by increasing IGF-1 or decreasing respiratory hyperactivity. Materials and Methods: This was an intervention study with a control group, conducted on fifty 3-10-year-old children who had undergone adenotonsillectomy and on fifty childre...
