background: although red meat consumption is related to the prevalence of diabetes, few data are available showing the relationship between red meat intake, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome. the study aimed to identify the association between the red meat intake, metabolic syndrome, and circulating concentration of c-reactive protein (crp) as a surrogate measure of inflammation. methods: in...

INTRODUCTION Red blood cell transfusions are common in intensive care units. For many years, transfusions of red blood were thought to have obvious clinical benefits. However, in recent years, the risks and benefits of blood transfusions have been examined more carefully, including the risk of increased morbidity and mortality due to transfusion-related immunomodulation effects. OBJECTIVES To...

Hubble Space Telescope images of the core-collapse supernova remnant Cassiopeia A are used to identify highvelocity knots of ejecta located outside the remnant’s main emission shell of expanding debris. These ejecta fragments are found near or ahead of the remnant’s forward shock front and mostly lie from 12000 to 30000 in radial distance from the remnant’s center of expansion. Filter flux rati...

Although many components of the genetic pathways that provide positional information during embryogenesis have been identified, it remains unclear how these signals are integrated to specify discrete tissue territories. Here, we investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of one of the hindbrain segments, rhombomere (r) 3, specified by the expression of the gene krox20. Dissec...

Automatic Code Generation for Red-Time Reactive Systems in TROMLAB Environment

In this work, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were used to predict the decolorization efficiency of Reactive Red 33 (RR 33) by applying the O3/UV process in a bubble column reactor. The effects of four independent variables including time (20-60 min), superficial gas velocity (0.06-0.18 cm/s), initial concentration of dye (50-150 ppm), and pH (3-11) were i...

Myelolipomas are rare benign tumors composed of mature fat and bone marrow elements, typically found in the adrenal gland, but have been reported in extra-adrenal locations. Adrenal myelolipoma seldom produces symptoms unless it attains considerable size or hemorrhage into itself. The origin of adrenal myelolipoma remains obscure, various theories have been proposed. Here, we present a case of ...

Taste 2 receptors (TAS2R) mediate bitterness perception in mammals, thus are called bitter taste receptors. It is believed that these genes evolved in response to species-specific diets. The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) and red panda (Ailurus fulgens styani) in the order Carnivora are specialized herbivores with an almost exclusive bamboo diet (>90% bamboo). Because bamboo is full of bi...

objective(s) sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic haemolytic anaemia. haemoglobin s containing red blood cells may be susceptible to oxidative stress due to imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species and the countering effect of the various antioxidants present in the body. materials and methods we evaluated some antioxidant enzymes which include gluta...
