background: infection with trichomonas vaginalis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (stds) in humans. the prevalence of infection in iran has been reported between 2 to 8%, depending on deferent socio-cultural conditions. this study aimed to determine the prevalence of t . vaginalis in women referred to gynecologic clinics in hamadan city, west of iran. methods: this descri...

background: trichomoniasis, caused by trichomonas vaginalis , is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world. diagnosis of t. vaginalis is performed by different methods, including wet mount, culture, serological methods and pcr, which required laboratory equipments and expert laboratory personnel. the aim of this study was evaluation of immunochromatographic strip test ...

Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) is an elastomeric polymer which is attracting increasing interest for biomedical applications, including cartilage regeneration. However, its limited mechanical properties and possible negative effects of its degradation byproducts restrict PGS for in vivo application. In this study, a novel PGS-bioactive glass fiber (F18)-reinforced composite was developed and cha...

In order to generate high power laser radiation it is often necessary to combine multiple lasers into a single beam. The recent advances in high power spectral beam combining using multiplexed volume Bragg gratings recorded in photo-thermo-refractive glass are presented. The focus is on using multiple gratings recorded within the same volume to lower the complexity of the combining system. Comb...

Previously, we described a technique for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in whole-mount Drosophila embryos using fluoresceinlabeled RNA probes (2). This technique provides several advantages over conventional alkaline phosphatasebased detection methods. For example, a fluorescent label is nondiffusible and so allows higher-resolution imaging. Furthermore, it allows the use of confocal...

We examine the vitrification and melting of asymmetric star polymer mixtures by combining rheological measurements with mode coupling theory. We identify two types of glassy states, a single glass, in which the small component is fluid in the glassy matrix of the big one, and a double glass, in which both components are vitrified. Addition of small-star polymers leads to melting of both glasses...

New high-pressure ordered-ilmenite and double-perovskite polymorphs of Mn 2 LiReO 6 are unprecedented A-site manganites with B/B? +/7+ oxidation states. They show cluster spin-cluster-glass behaviour giant coercivity without spin–orbit-coupling.
