Aberrant systemic arteries supplying the intralobar pulmonary sequestration can become dilated and have atherosclerotic change. Computed tomography is very useful in demonstrating the aberrant artery. We report a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with giant branching aneurysmal aberrant artery, and demonstrated the discontinuity of the bronchus by 64-slice computed tomography, which ha...

For the past dozen years there has been a growing interest in the possibility of mitigating the global warming effects of carbon dioxide by increasing the carbon stocks of biomass and soils. The earliest economics studies examined the costs of capturing and storing carbon in forest ecosystems (for a review of these studies see Richards and Stokes 2000). Over time, the potential for cost-effecti...

We examined the brains of 50 Malawian children who satisfied the clinical definition of cerebral malaria (CM) during life; 37 children had sequestration of infected red blood cells (iRBCs) and no other cause of death, and 13 had a nonmalarial cause of death with no cerebral sequestration. For comparison, 18 patients with coma and no parasitemia were included. We subdivided the 37 CM cases into ...

abstract aims: bovine mastitis continues to be the most costly disease to the dairy farmers. it dominates in iran as one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cattle among the dairy farms. mastitis treatment with antibiotics leads to the development of antibiotic resistant strains and consumer health problem. this study was performed for the first time to analyze in vitro effects of hydro-alc...

a total of 711 beta-hemolytic streptococci were isolated from throat cultures of patients during 1970-73. these strains were grouped in parallel by the precipitin and bacitracin paper disk method. the former method was estab­lished as the standard by which the bacitracin technique was compared. the difference in results was about 5.67%. the greatest error (5.4%) was seen with non-group a strain...

Pulmonary sequestration refers to lack of normal airway connection and aberrant vascular supply, and it may be either intralobar or extralobar. Bronchial atresia involving the lower lobes, especially the left lower lobe, is often associated with aberrant systemic arterial connection, forming an “intralobar sequestration” in which a region of parenchyma is functionally isolated from the remainde...

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare pulmonary parenchymal anomaly. The localization of the aberrant artery and its relation with sequestration are of importance in the process of diagnosis in the preoperative period. The feeding artery can be identified by color Doppler ultrasonography. We report two cases of pulmonary sequestration in two adolescents, aged 11 and 13 years old, and this report do...

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation of the lower respiratory tract. Several methods of treatment have been described since the first publication. We present two cases of female adult patients with bronchopulmonary sequestration. In the first patient an unsuccessful attempt to treat the bronchopulmonary sequestration by means of arterial embolization is described. She was subse...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is a multi-purpose crop, mainly planted in South-western (SW) parts of Iran. However, the capability of sugarcane farms to sequestrate carbon into soil and plant is not well documented. In this research, the carbon sequestration in sugarcane plant and soil in a ratooning traditional cultivation system at the Amirkabir Sugarcane Agro-Industry Complex...
