OBJECTIVE Evaluating the effect of zinc sulfate in improving the clinical manifestations of acute bronchiolitis in children younger than 2 years. METHODS This was a double blind pilot trial on 50 patients aged 2 to 23 months at Ghaem and Dr. Sheikh Hospitals in Mashhad from January 2008 to March 2009. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: a case group received oral zinc sulfate and ...

BACKGROUND Iron, zinc, and calcium can interact with each other in a way that inhibits their respective absorption. On the other hand, mineral fortification has been used to improve simultaneous iron and zinc absorption from food supplements. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the effect of a novel fortificant mixture consisting of NaFeEDTA, zinc methionine, ascorbic acid, and citric acid on iron and zin...

in order to determine the effects of zinc foliar application on yield and its components single cross 704 under water stress condition, experiment was carried out at agricultural research center of varamin, in southeast of tehran, during 2007-2008. field experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized completely block at three replications. main plots included water stress at ...

Background The most commonly used treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH) are phototherapy and exchange transfusion. Among the drug therapy for NH less has been paid to the effect of zinc administration on serum bilirubin level (SBL). This study was carried out to determine the on the effect of oral zinc sulfate on the SBL in term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia. Materials and Methods I...

objective: thalassemic patients are at risk of zinc deficiency due to various causes including desferal injection, hyperzincuria, high ferritin levels, and hepatic iron overload. we evaluate the effect of zinc supplementation on linear growth of beta-thalassemia patients. methods: one-hundred beta-thalassemic major patients whose heights were within 3rd to l0th percentile were randomly divided ...

Low Zinc (Zn) availability in alkaline calcareous soil is one of the major causes low cereal yield and quality. Conventional application Zn sulfate (ZnSO4) fertilizer through attains minimal efficiency as it readily fixed such soils. Oxozinc nanofiber (ZnONF) was evaluated for wheat biofortification using different methods to tackle this issue. Pots triplicate (each with 7 kg soil) were arrange...

Zinc sulfate is a known olfactory toxicant, although its specific effects on the olfactory epithelium of zebrafish are unknown. Olfactory organs of adult zebrafish were exposed to zinc sulfate and, after 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 or 14 days, fish were processed for histological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and behavioral analyses. Severe morphological disruption of the olfactory organ was observ...
