this study was conducted to evaluatethe effects of different inter- and intra-row spacing on the dry matter accumulation and partitioning coefficients in faba bean, barakat cultivar. experiment was conducted as factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. factors were inter-row spacing (15, 30, 45 and 60 cm) and intra-row spacing (5, 10 and 15 cm). the plant dry matt...

the objective of this study was to obtain relationships between plant leaf area (cm2plant-1) with leaf dry weight (g plant-1), vegetative dry weight (g plant-1) and plant height (cm) in faba bean (vicia faba l.). the experiment was conducted at the research farm of gorgan university of agricultural sciences in 2011-2012 growing season. the experimental design was a randomized complete block des...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the effect of anaesthesia with thiopental (4 mg kg(-1)), ketamine (1 mg kg(-1)) and ketamine-thiopental (1 mg kg(-1) and 4 mg kg(-1), respectively) combination during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) and haemodynamic variables in patients with resistant major depression. METH...

Several different applicators have been designed for treatment of skin cancers, such as scalp, hand, and legs using Ir-192 HDR brachytherapy sources (IR-HDRS), miniature electronic brachytherapy sources (eBT), and external electron beam radiation therapy (EEBRT). Although, all of these methodologies may deliver the desired radiation dose to the skin, but the dose to the underlying bone may beco...

BACKGROUND Several patients with unipolar depression present with prominent dysphoric mood. We aimed at examining the effectiveness of the combination of an SSRI with an anticonvulsant in such patients. METHODS Thirty-five newly admitted outpatients with substantial anger, irritability, aggressiveness or hostility who were diagnosed a DSM-IV unipolar depressive disorder were rated on the Hami...

Objective Depressive and anxiety symptoms could affect the quality of life and prognostic outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, but only a few studies focus on the interventions to manage or prevent these symptoms in CKD patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the efficacy and acceptability of agomelatine versus paroxetine in treating depressive and anxiety symptom...

Dear Editor, In their recent paper entitled ‘Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors versus placebo in patients with major depressive disorder. A systematic review with meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis’ (1), Jakobsen et al. conclude that ‘The observed harmful effects seem to outweigh the potential small beneficial clinical effects of SSRIs, if they exist’ (1). In a follow-up article ...

Objective: Photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) with pineapple peel extract (PPE) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a final endodontic irrigant on the push-out bond strength (PBS) of root filling material to conventional irrigation NaOCl EDTA.
 Methods: An in vitro study at Dar Al Uloom University was conducted over three months. Root canal preparation performed. Based...
