materials and methods in total, among 134 patients clinically suspected of having pityriasis versicolor, attending the department of mycology, boali sina hospital and referral laboratory of the mazandaran university of medical sciences, 116/134 (86.5%) positive patients for malassezia elements, namely, yeast cells and short hyphae in microscopic examination, were included in the study. all 116 ...

Fur color that differs from the typical shades of brown and gray occurs in eight species of marmots. Albinism generally is rare whereas melanism is more common. Melanism may persist in some populations at low frequencies averaging 16.1% in M. monax and in M. flaviventris for as long as 80 years. White (not albino) and “bluish” marmots generally are rare, but a population of white M. marmota per...

Most competition studies between species are conducted from a population-level approach. Few studies have examined inter-specific competition in conjunction with intra-specific competition, with an individual-based approach. To our knowledge, none has been conducted on marine top predators. Sympatric Galapagos fur seals (Arctocephalus galapagoensis) and sea lions (Zalophus wollebaeki) share sim...

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of an equine nasal strip (NS), furosemide (Fur), and a combination of both (NS + Fur) on exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) at speeds corresponding to near-maximal effort. Five Thoroughbreds (526 +/- 25 kg) were run on a flat treadmill from 7 to 14 m/s in 1 m x s(-1) x min(-)1 increments every 2 wk (treatment order randomized)...

Recent studies have shown that the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) of Edwardsiella tarda (Fur(Et)) shares high sequence identity with the Escherichia coli Fur (Fur(Ec)) at the N-terminal DNA-binding region. In the present study, the functional importance of the C-terminal region of Fur(Et) was investigated. It was found that Fur(Et) bearing deletion of the C-terminal 12 residues still possesses m...

The two new ligands L(fur) and L(th) consist of two chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine termini connected to furan-2,5-diyl or thiophene-2,5-diyl spacers via methylene groups. Reaction of these with a range of transition metal dications that prefer octahedral coordination affords a series of unusual structures which are all based on a 2M : 3L ratio. [M(8)(L(fur))(12)]X(16) (M = Co, Cu, X = BF(4); and ...
