Sir, Here we present a patient using anti-tumour necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF-α) who developed disseminated nocardiosis, which spontaneously resolved after discontinuation of anti-TNF-α. A 75-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of fever, night sweats and weight loss of 5 kg, accompanied by general abdominal complaints consisting of anorexia, regurgitation and nausea. For the past 6 yea...

In the bulk scale of crystallization, urea-succinic acid (U-SA) cocrystals have been reported to only form stable 2:1 U-SA cocrystal, without any metastable 1:1 by slow evaporation and cooling crystallization in an aqueous solvent. this work, were applied nano-crystallizers, i.e. nano-pores controlled pore glass (CPG). It is first time demonstrate that, with confined solution, it possible produ...

The objective of this work was to investigate the possible contamination soil solution with chemical elements present in composition retorted oil shale (ROS) when used together nitrogen fertilization as urea. experiment conducted a silvopastoral system an experimental design randomized blocks, subdivided plots. main treatments consisted spatial arrangements trees, while split plots constituted ...

Rice cultivation has been challenged by increasing food demand and water scarcity. We examined the responses of water use, grain yield, and water productivity to various modes of field water managements in Chinese double rice systems. Four treatments were studied in a long-term field experiment (1998-2015): continuous flooding (CF), flooding-midseason drying-flooding (F-D-F), flooding-midseason...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] genetic diversity is limited because domesticated soybean has undergone multiple genetic bottlenecks. Its progenitor, the wild soybean [Glycine soja Siebold & Zucc], has not undergone the same intense selection and is much more genetically diverse than domesticated soybean. However, the agronomic importance of diversity in wild soybean is unclear, and its weedy ...

Candida utilis contains an inducible enzyme, urea amidolyase, which catalyzes the decomposition of urea with formation of carbon dioxide and ammonia. This reaction is accompanied by the cleavage of ATP with liberation of equimolar amounts of ADP and inorganic phosphate, is strictly dependent for activity on divalent (Mg++ or Mn++) and monovalent (K+, Rb+, Csf, or NH4+) cations, and requires cat...

BACKGROUND Brain damage (myelinolysis) develops in hyponatraemia after a large increase in serum sodium regardless of the currently available methods of correction. However, a preliminary study suggests that treatment of hyponatraemia with urea limits the risks of brain lesions in rats. Benefits of sustained high blood levels of urea and mechanisms of protection remain hypothetical. METHODS I...

wheat flour is known as the best nutrients supplier for human. in this research, the effects of combined application of nitrogen fertilizer, farmyard manure (fym), sewage sludge and municipal waste compost on nutrients concentrations of wheat flour (triticum aestivum cv. alvand) were studied in a randomized complete blocks design with 15 treatments and three replicates in agricultural research ...

The 12: 1 reaction of urea (U) with CoI(2) in EtOH yielded the "clathrate-coordination" compound [CoU(6)]I2.4U (1). The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The lattice constants are a = 9.844(4), b = 7.268(3), c = 24.12(1) A, and beta=98.12(1) degrees composite function. The crystal structure determination demonstrates the existence of octahedral [CoU6](2+) cations, I(-)...
