Using double silent substitution, it is possible to generate L-cone and M-cone isolating electroretinograms (ERGs) on a CRT. A major limitation of the technique is that the depth of modulation of cone classes is limited by the restricted luminance of the phosphors and their spectral overlap. To address this problem we have ported the technique to a four-color LED Ganzfeld stimulus (Diagnosis Co...

In this study, a new alpha globin gene mutation on the α2-globin gene is reported. This mutation resulted in a Lys > stop codon substitution at position 127 which was detected in four individuals (three males and one female). DNA sequencing revealed this mutation in unrelated persons in Khuzestan province, Southwestern Iran of Lor ethnicity. This mutation caused no severe hematological abnormal...

The origin and geochemistry of the sediments that make up the Khuzestan plain as one of the key areas of southwestern Iran has always been discussed. Detailed geochemical studies of these sediments, in addition to determining their origin, can provide appropriate information about weathering, erosion, ancient tectonics and environmental pollution in the Khuzestan plain. In this research, after ...

Background The androgen receptor (AR) gene contains a polymorphic trinucleotide repeat that encodes a polyglutamine tract in its N-terminal transactivation domain (NTAD). We aimed to find a correlation between the length of this polymorphic tract and azoospermia or oligozoospermia in infertile men living in Khuzestan, Iran. MaterialsAndMethods In this case-control study during two years till 20...

background: parasitic diseases are among the most important problems of many countries in the world, especially developing ones. since various parts of iran have different types of weather, jobs and people, different and separate epidemiological studies for each province will be necessary. we have scarce information on the epidemiology of intestinal parasites in tribal regions of khuzestan prov...
