this experiment was carried out to study the effects of corn and green gram intercropping on yield and some quality characteristics of forage at agricultural research station of gorgan during summer 2006 & 2007. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with twelve treatments and four replications. a local green gram and corn single cross 550 were the crops used in t...

We present the results of a wide-field photometric study of the globular cluster (GC) system of the edge-on Sab spiral NGC 7814. This is the first spiral to be fully analyzed from our survey of the GC systems of a large sample of galaxies beyond the Local Group. NGC 7814 is of particular interest because a previous study estimated that it has 500−1000 GCs, giving it the largest specific frequen...

Ninety-five percent of cases of severe muscular dystrophy with early childhood onset result from mutations in the dystrophin region of the human X chromosome (DMD, McKusick 310200), whereas 5% are thought to result from mutations in autosomal genes. We examined a total of 415 families with at least one living patient whose clinical features suggested DMD. Based on formal genetics, haplotype ana...

OBJECTIVE To examine the diaphragm and chest wall dynamics with cine breathing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in ambulatory boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) without respiratory symptoms and controls. METHODS In 11 DMD boys and 15 controls, cine MRI of maximal breathing was recorded for 10 sec. The lung segmentations were done by an automated pipeline based on a Holistically-Neste...

Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Purpose To investigate the effect of spinal correction on respiratory muscle strength in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Overview of Literature Several studies have reported that scoliosis correction in patients with DMD does not improve pulmonary function. In these studies, pulmonary function was evaluated using the traditional spir...

Early mortality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is related to cardiac and respiratory complications. A phase IIa double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to investigate the tolerability and efficacy of idebenone therapy in children with DMD. Twenty-one DMD patients (aged 8-16 years) were randomly assigned to daily treatment with 450 mg idebenone (Catena®) (n=...

Prosthodontics, Scranton, Pennsylvania. ter of routine. However, in anterior implant -supported restorations, the successful achievement of the aesthetic goal can often be elusive. The task is made especially arduous when the potential implant recipient site lies within the lip perimeter and is compromised by significant hard and soft tissue defects and/or inharmonious occlusal combinations.
