maize improvement for high temperature tolerance requires the reliable assessment of parental inbred lines and their combinations. fifteen maize inbred lines were evaluated during 2007 and 2008 in shushtar city (khuzestan province). the inbred lines were planted at two dates: 6 july, to coincide heat stress with pollination time; and 27 july, as normal planting to avoid high temperature during ...

objective: salt stress is a world-wide problem and soil salinity is common in arid and semi-arid regions. this study was undertaken to investigate salt tolerance in salsola orientalis in laboratory and natural conditions and recognize the mechanisms that allow it to tolerate these conditions. methods: this study had two parts of greenhouse and natural habitats. the treatment solutions for salin...

background: despite the positive outcomes reported with cardiac rehabilitation (cr), its impacts have been reported to be different from a region or country to another, which may be due to the different contents of rehabilitation programs. objectives: to investigate the effect of cr on cardiovascular risk factors. patients and methods: this is a retrospective cohort study on the data from imam ...

objective: most   neonates admitted to neonatal wards do not tolerate sufficient milk.  recently the effect of erythromycin on increasing feeding tolerance in neonates has been studied. in this study the effectiveness of oral, high dose erythromycin a prokinetic agent was used to enhance feeding tolerance in these neonates.  methods: this prospective randomized controlled clinical trial was con...

it has been shown that stress and chronic pain could prevent the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia, which appears to be related to the activation of hypothalamus–pitutitary–adrenal (hpa) axis, activation of neuroendocrine systems and changes in neurochemical levels. moreover, the involvement of nitric oxide (no) in the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia has been implica...

AcrAB-TolC is a major efflux pump in Escherichia coli. It was reported that tolC is overexpressed and involves in improving the organic solvent tolerance level in Escherichia coli marR mutants that are resistant to several antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin. Low and intermediate levels resistance did not improve organic solvent tolerance. Thus, in this descriptive-experimental study it was deci...
