Since haematological variables can be used to assess the health state in cultured fish, a haematological characterization of clinically healthy Oreochromis aureus was done to establish the reference indices of this species. Fish were subjected to different stressed conditions (bacterial infection, nitrite intoxication, malachite green overdose) to study the changes in the haematological indices...

tinea capities is the commonest dermatophytosis in children with diverse clinical presentations. the causative fungi of tinea capitis vary with geographic area and time.this study was aimed to identify the etiologic agents and determine the related factors of tinea capitis in tehran, iran. from clinically suspected cases of tinea capitis, microscopy and culture were performed. of 58patients 96%...

"Change-in-support" balance-recovery reactions that involve rapid stepping or reaching movements play a critical role in preventing falls. Recent geriatrics studies have led to new interventions to improve ability to execute these reactions effectively. Some of these interventions have the potential to reduce fall risk for younger persons working in industrial settings. In this paper, we review...

Estimates suggest that each year millions of birds, predominantly Neotropical migrating songbirds, collide with communication towers. To determine the relative collision risks that different nighttime Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) communication tower obstruction lighting systems pose to night-migrating birds, we compared fatalities at towers with different systems: white strobe lights o...

Railway level crossings are amongst the most complex of road safety control systems, due to the conflicts between road vehicles and rail infrastructure, trains and train operations. Driver behaviour at railway crossings is the major collision factor. The main objective of the present paper was to evaluate the existing conventional warning devices in relation to driver behaviour. The common conv...

CONTEXT Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), an AML subtype, is characterized morphologically by abnormal promyelocytes. Molecular studies show three possible bcr isoforms of PML-RARα fusion gene. This study undertakes analysis of PML-RARα bcr isoforms and their correlation with haematological parameters and response to treatment in Indian patients. AIMS To study different PML-RARα bcr isoform...
