Morphometric characters are important to estimate the population of crustacean species. In the present study, relationships between various morphometric characters of the freshwater crab Sodhiana iranica was studied at Eelood freshwater spring of southern Iran. Crabs were collected randomly from April 2012 to April 2013 bimonthly. A total of 69 (43.67%) females and 89 (56.32%) males were col...

Background & Aims: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a health problem, especially in tropical and subtropical countries. In spite of new scientific developments in recent years, several questions related to this disease have been raised that have still no answer. The objective of this research was to study the epidemiology of CL and its relationship with blood groups in the city of Bam in 2007...

the need of aquarists for proper and safe disinfection of fish with chloramine-t (cl-t) necessitates toxico/pathologic examinations.   this study assays toxicity level of cl-t and histopathologic changes of gills, liver, kidney and brain of treated zebrafish (danio rerio). groups of 10 zebrafish were treated with 0 (control), 5, 10, 15, 30, 50,100 and 200 mg/l of cl– t. mortality was recorded a...

introduction: traumatic eye injuries (tei) involved about 3% of cases referred to the emergency departments of developing countries. lens dislocation is one of the critical cases of ophthalmic emergencies. the present study was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography in detection of traumatic lens dislocation. methods: in this cross-sectional study the findings of ultrasono...

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a main public health problem in Iran with a high incidence rate among children. According to numerous studies in Iranian society, the most commonly affected age group is 1–4 years. At present, we aimed to investigate the pediatric CL among children in Golestan Province in North of I...

The catalytic acvtivity of dimeric and monomeric ortho-palladated complexes [Pd{C6H2(CH2NH2-(OMe)2,3,4}(µ-Cl)]2)2) and [Pd{C6H2(CH2NH2-(OMe)2,3,4}Cl(PPh3)](3), was investigated in Heck cross-coupling reaction. These complexes are more active and efficient catalysts for Heck cross-coupling reaction. The palladium complexes 2 and 3 is employed in the Heck cross-coupling reaction between styrene a...

introduction: traumatic chest injuries (tci) are one of the most common causes of referring to the emergency departments, with high mortality and disability. this study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography versus chest x ray (cxr) in detection of hemo-pneumothorax for patients suffering penetrating tci. methods: the present cross-sectional study was performed to e...
