allergy to prosopis juliflora (mesquite) pollen is one of the common causes of respiratory allergy in tropical countries. mesquite is widely used as street trees in towns and ornamental shade trees in parks and gardens throughout arid and semiarid regions of iran. the inhalation of mesquite pollen and several species of amaranthus/chenopodiaceae family is the most important cause of allergic re...

opening frontiers has led in the last two decades to a massive migration of romanians to spain and italy, two countries known to have large areas planted with olives. romania owns large areas planted with ash forests. because of cross-reactivity between these two trees belonging to the oleaceae family and the big allergenic potential of olive pollens, after a number of years of residence in the...

this study offers an exclusive class of magnetic nanoparticles supported hyperbranched polyglycerol (mnp/hpg) that was functionalized with citric acid (mnp/hpg-ca) as a host immobilization of palladium nanoparticles. the mnp/hpg-ca/pd catalyst was fully characterized using some different techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis (tga), x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission electron microsco...

inhalation of pollens from different species of acacia is a common cause of respiratory allergy in tropical areas of the world. acacia farnesiana is commonly used as street trees in towns and ornamental shade trees in parks and gardens throughout arid and semi-arid regions of asia. this study aimed to produce and purify the a. farnesiana pollen profilin (aca f 2) and evaluate its nucleotide seq...

background legionellaceae contains legionella genus with over 52 species and 64 serogroups. it is one of the most important causes of respiratory disease in human. more than 30% of hospital-acquired pneumonia is caused by legionella. ventilator-associated pneumonia (vap) is an infection acquired in hospital wards, particularly in intensive care unit (icu). this disease approximately affects 9% ...

a-10-year-old girl was referred to our department for multiple hyperpigmented plaques. one  week  previously,  she  had  been  given  one  suppository  of  acetylsalicylic acid  – phenobarbital for fever. twelve hours after the drug intake the child developed pruritic red plaques on the left thigh. six weeks after resolution of the acute reaction, patch tests were performed separately, with phe...

background: caprine besnoitiosis is an economically important disease of goats. neospora caninum, another coccidian parasite of worldwide distribution, infects several animal species and is a major cause of abortion in cattle . combined infections of n. caninum and besnoitia caprae can occur in geo-graphical areas endemic for both species of parasite in goats. this experiment was conducted to i...

the incidence of candidemia due to the uncommon non-albicans candida species appears to be increasing, and certain species such as candida (c.) membranaefaciens have been reported in some clinical researches. vascular catheters are considered the likely culprit for the sudden emergence of hospital-acquired candidemia. the identification of c. membranaefaciens can be problematic in clinical prac...

the catalytic acvtivity of dimeric and monomeric ortho-palladated complexes [pd{c6h2(ch2nh2-(ome)2,3,4}(µ-cl)]2)2) and [pd{c6h2(ch2nh2-(ome)2,3,4}cl(pph3)](3), was investigated in heck cross-coupling reaction. these complexes are more active and efficient catalysts for heck cross-coupling reaction. the palladium complexes 2 and 3 is employed in the heck cross-coupling reaction between styrene a...
