brain death is defined as the permanent, irreversible and concurrent loss of all brain and brain stem functions. brain death diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and it is not routine to use paraclinical studies. in some countries, electroencephalogram (eeg) is performed in all patients for the determination of brain death while there is some skepticism in relying on eeg as a confirmatory te...

Goldfish reproduction is coordinated by pheromones that are released by ovulating females and detected by males. Two highly potent pheromones, a dihydroxyprogesterone and a prostaglandin, previously have been identified, and their effects on goldfish behavior have been studied in depth. We have cloned goldfish olfactory epithelium cDNAs belonging to two multigene G-protein coupled receptor fami...

introduction: considering the importance and usefulness of fruits in people’s daily diet as they play an important role in determining public health and also considering the significance of pesticide residues in foods and fruits , measurement of which has been repeatedly reiterated by who and fao, this research was done. irregular use of pesticides by farmers knowingly or unknowingly without ob...

Nutrient depletion, which is one of the physiological triggers of autophagy, results in the depletion of intracellular acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) coupled to the deacetylation of cellular proteins. We surmise that there are 3 possibilities to mimic these effects, namely (i) the depletion of cytosolic AcCoA by interfering with its biosynthesis, (ii) the inhibition of acetyltransferases, which are ...

Objective: Returning crop residue to the soil exerts favorable effects on physical and chemical properties of soil. In fact, the plant residues can affect soil conditions such as pH and important role in soil fertility and cycling of elements in the soil may have. In addition to the role of the organic matter from decomposition of crop residue in increasing the concentration of micronutrients i...

Determination of drug residues in food is of great importance due to their toxicity. Long-term exposure with low level of drug residues could be important, especially in children. Based on document study, oxytetracycline (OTC) is a prophylaxis and treatment agent for great number of diseases and possesses a broad spectrum activity against many pathogenic organisms and can be toxic or cause alle...
