to explore the potential for in vitro rapid regeneration of fagonia indica burm., cotyledon explants were obtained from 10-day old aseptically germinated seedlings that cultured on ms medium which supplemented with 1.0-5.0 µm 2,4-d. callus was initiated from cotyledon explant on ms medium supplemented in all concentrations of 2,4-d investigated. 2,4-d was more effective than iaa and naa for cal...

Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to non-invasively measure specific tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) continuously. Cerebral autoregulation status can be derived from NIRS and arterial blood pressure. The relationship of both cerebral and somatic StO2, fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE), and cerebro-splanchnic oxygenation ratio (CSOR) with measured vital sign par...

background: pharmacogenomics is the study of genetic variations among individuals to predict the probability that a patient will respond to single or multidrug chemotherapy. breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide. treatment of breast cancer by application of biological rationales gives us the ability to match the correct pharmacology to individual tumour genetic p...

Life history plasticity can be a strong predictor of the establishment and invasion success introduced fishes. Here, life-history traits four P. parva populations in adjacent ponds Southern England were measured throughout 2013 to determine timing length their reproductive season extent trait plasticity. The relative abundance (as catch per unit effort) was similar, with low variability relatin...

the aim of this investigation was to study macroscopic and microscopic structures of ovaries in barbus grypus of karoon river and their changes during annual maturation cycle. for this purpose, 120 adult  b.grypus with a mean weight of 835.0 to 1012.0 g, were caught from karoon river and transferred alive to the laboratory. after biometrical studies, the weights and morphological appearances of...

Somatic mosaicism refers to the occurrence of two genetically distinct populations of cells within an individual, derived from a postzygotic mutation. In contrast to inherited mutations, somatic mosaic mutations may affect only a portion of the body and are not transmitted to progeny. These mutations affect varying genomic sizes ranging from single nucleotides to entire chromosomes and have bee...

background: ischemic heart disease (ihd) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and a considerable part of these patients attend to emergency departments, which increases the burden to these busy departments. the aim of this study was to develop a prediction model enabling prediction of all cause emergency department (ed) visits in patients with documented coronary stenosis in ...
