Here, we find evidence of character displacement in song as well as body size and bill size of 2 re...

متن کامل‘ In - Oxine Platelet Survivals in Thrombocytopenic Infants
Thrombocytopenia is a common occurrence (20%) in sick neonates. but the causes have not been well studied. In this report we demonstrate that thrombocytopenia in the neonate is characterized by increased platelet destruction as shown by shortened homologous “In-oxine-labeled platelet life spans. Thirty-one prospectively studied thrombocytopenic neonates were investigated by measuring the “In-la...
