Nitrogen responsiveness of three-finger millet genotypes (differing in their seed coat colour) PRM-1 (brown), PRM-701 (golden), and PRM-801 (white) grown under different nitrogen doses was determined by analyzing the growth, yield parameters and activities of nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthetase (GS), glutamate synthase; GOGAT, and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) at different developmenta...

In the prostate, cellular growth and differentiation are finely regulated by a complex interaction between stromal and epithelial cells under the control of both autocrine and paracrine regulatory factors such as the nerve growth factor (NGF). However, the role of NGF and its receptors including the high-affinity p-140 TrkA and the low-affinity p75 NTR receptors remains controversial. Moreover ...

BACKGROUND: Phyllodes tumors are biphasic fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast. While the surgical management of these relatively uncommon tumors has been addressed in the literature, few reports have commented on the surgical approach to tumors greater than ten centimeters in diameter – the giant phyllodes tumor. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with a larg...

Background: β-thalassemia major is a hereditary life threatening anemia which requires regular blood transfusion. Clinical symptoms of the disease are growth retardation, pallor, jaundice and skeletal alternations. The variety of bone disease in thalassemia major is manifested by diffuse bone pain or deformity, spontaneous and pathologic fractures and osteopenia or osteoporosis. This study aime...
