We investigated the effects of Heterodera glycines cyst components and surface disinfestants on hatching of H. glycines eggs in vitro. Eggs were incubated in either H. glycines cyst wall fragments, cyst wall and egg rinsate, egg homogenate, or control solutions of soybean root diffusate, sterile distilled water, or zinc sulfate. Hatch in cyst wall and egg rinsate, and egg homogenate, was greate...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy for hematological malignancies are susceptible to development of oral mucositis, and no effective modality has been reported for its prophylaxis and treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of zinc mouthwash on chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis lesions. METHODS In this double-blind r...

BACKGROUND The most commonly used medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are the psychostimulants. There is, however, considerable awareness in alternative, nonstimulant therapies, because some patients respond poorly to stimulants or are unable to tolerate them. Some studies suggest that deficiency of zinc play a substantial role in the aetiopathogenesis of ADHD. There...

To study the effects of both drought stress and seed zinc and iron concentrations on the photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, and proline and carbohydrate accumulations in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. M9) leaf, a split plot experiment was carried out in 2012 based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in greenhouse conditions at Yasouj University. Drought str...

BACKGROUND Necrolytic acral erythema is a recently described necrolytic erythema that is unique in its exclusive acral location and strong association with hepatitis C. OBSERVATION We report the first case of necrolytic acral erythema in the United States. The patient is a 43-year-old black woman who presented with a 4-year history of tender, flaccid blisters localized to the dorsal aspect of...

in order to investigate the effects of on-farm seed priming and sowing dates on seedling emergence, yield and yield components of a local genotype bean called pach baghala-red strain (phaseolous vulgaris l.) as a double crop after rice, an experiment carried out in the rice research institute of rasht. experimental design was laid out in a split plot based on a randomized complete block with th...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate the combination of oral supplements with 2% minoxidil solution in four groups of women with hair loss. METHODS A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted from July to December 2016 in dermatology clinics affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. A total of 73, 15-45-year-old, women with hair loss participated in this 4-m...

zno nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted chemical method. zno nanostructures were synthesized via a fast reaction between zinc acetate and ammonia at presence citric acid and other effective agents in chemical procedure. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy. seed yield and seed quality of safflower grown under drought stress. th...

BACKGROUND Childhood zinc deficiency is a common problem in many developing countries where people rely mainly on plant based diets with low zinc contents. Zinc supplementation is one of strategies to combat zinc deficiency and its consequences in children. The aim of this community trial was to examine the effect of zinc supplementation on the linear growth of children 6-24 months of age and t...
