we describe a 61-year-old man who developed a mild gastrointestinal discomforts including diarrhea associated with feces containing many larvae similar to rhabditiform larvae of strongyloides stercoralis diagnosed finally as diploscapter coro­nata, a free-living nematode. this case is unusual infection in human and there are a few reports of this worm as a real pa­rasite. microscopically, diplo...

myocardial free wall rupture is a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction, and prognosis will depend on the prompt diagnosis by echocardiography, extension of infarct size, and prompt surgical treatment. free wall rupture concomitant with ventricular septal defect (vsd) may be more complicated for management. a case of a 69-year-old man with myocardial free wall rupture and vsd...

the use of methanesulfonic acid as a brønsted acid for direct ortho-acylation of phenols and naphthols proves to be a convenient, more general and direct route to various hydroxyaryl ketones. the route is regioselective, leading to ortho c-acylated products in satisfactory to high yields in most cases. the solvent free reactions described below exhibited environmentally benign in terms of faste...

in the present paper, an analysis was carried out to investigate effects of radiation on a free convection flow bounded by a vertical surface embedded in a porous medium with constant suction velocity. it was under the influence of uniform magnetic field in the presence of a homogenous chemical reaction and viscous dissipation with constant heat and mass flux. the non-dimensional governing equa...

a condensation of various isatins with indole derivatives has been carried out in the presence of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (dbdmh) as catalyst at 50 °c in ethanol in order to form 3,3-bis(indolyl) oxindoles. the products were obtained within 20-90 min by 70-96% yields. the efficacy of the procedure has been confirmed by catalyzing the condensation reaction of pyrrole which was used as ...

1,1-diacetates(acylals) were prepared by direct condensation of various aldehydes with acetic anhydride using dipyridine cobalt chloride (copy2cl2) as an efficient and green catalyst under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. the important features of this catalyst method are that the catalyst is solid, stable at high temperatures, soluble in water, stable in air, immiscible in common o...

pure azo schiff bases were readily and conveniently accessible in high yields by mixing of the reagents either as aqueous slurry, or by grinding at room temperature. this method, unlike a classical method, needs neither harsh conditions nor organic solvents. the satisfactory results were obtained with excellent yields, short reaction time, and operational simplicity in the experimental procedur...

one-pot preparation of 2,4,5-trisubstituted and 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles has been conducted in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridinium butane sulfonic acid) hydrogen sulfate, p(4vpbsa)hso4, as an efficient dual acidic catalyst under solvent-free conditions. reusability of the catalyst, easy work-up procedure, eco-friendly reaction conditions, short reaction times and high yields of th...

effective methodologies for efficient preparation of semicarbazones from aldehydes or ketones via milling and the subsequent regeneration of the parent carbonyls by gaseous nitrogen dioxide are described under solid-solid and gas-solid reaction conditions, respectively. these methods are fast, simple and environmentally benign which do not require the use of any auxiliaries such as catalysts or...

rapeseed is one of the important oilseeds, as its oil ranks second in the world after soybean. the rapeseed cultivation has been increased recently in iran. drying of seeds to a safe moisture level is necessary for storage of oilseeds before processing. rapeseed drying conditions affect the seed quality, total oil and germination capacity. hence in this research the effects of different tempera...
