background: ornithobilharziosis as one of the parasitic infections may give rise to serious economic problems in animal husbandry. the aim of the study was to prepare and compare the somatic and excretory-secretory (es) antigens of o. tur­kestanicum in gel diffusion test. methods: excretory-secretory (es) and somatic antigens of ornithobilharzia turkestanicum were prepared from collected worms ...

frequency of somaclonal variation in embryogenic calli and plants of olea europaea l cv.kroneiki derived from somatic embryogenesis were examined by randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis. radicle and cotyledon (proximal part) of mature zygotic embryo were cultured in omc medium supplemented with iba (5 mgl-1) and 2-ip (0.5 mgl-1). somatic embryogenesis was induced in calli of radic...

Background. Patients with SCD now usually live well into adulthood. Whereas transitions into adulthood are now often studied, little is published about aging beyond the transition period. We therefore studied age-associated SCD differences in utilization, pain, and psychosocial variables. Methods. Subjects were 232 adults in the Pain in Sickle Cell Epidemiology Study (PiSCES). Data included dem...

Introduction Despite a variety of pharmacological and psychotherapeutic interventions, treatment schizophrenia can still be challenging, even more when certain comorbidities are present. Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder the neuromuscular junctions caused by antibodies against acetylcholine tyrosine kinase.

BACKGROUND Although patients with chronic diseases are at high-risk for symptoms of anxiety and depression, few studies have compared patients with different chronic conditions in this regard. This study aimed to compare patients with different chronic medical conditions in terms of anxiety and depression symptoms after controlling for the effects of socio-demographic and clinical data. METHO...

Variation by sex in preoperative clinical characteristics of female and male laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) patients has not been evaluated comprehensively. The objective of our study was to identify clinical differences between morbidly obese women and men seeking LRYGB. Data from 83,059 patients in the Surgical Review Corporation's Bariatric Outcomes Longitudinal Database who w...

this study was carried out to investigate the morphological and anatomical aspects of somatic embryogenesis in date palm. lateral bud and shoot tip explants excised from young offshoots were cultured on ms medium with 2,4-d. somatic embryogenesis was in-duced by transferring the calli produced on the same medium without hormones. micro-tome sectioning of paraffin-embedded specimens was carried ...

mastitis is one of the most serious and costly diseases affecting dairy cattle production. in the present study, effects of a lactoferrin gene polymorphism (intron 6) on milk somatic cell count (scc) and subclinical mastitis was investigated in 121 holstein dairy cattle. two alleles of a and b and two genotypes of aa and ab were found in an ecori recognized single nucleotide polymorphism in int...
