Histomorphological effect of the feeding of dumpsite forage (Calapo -Calopogonium mucunoides) on the reproductive profile of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was investigated. 30 rabbits; 20 females and 10 males were obtained and distributed randomly into two treatment groups of 10 females and 5 males. The forage, specifically Calapo (Calopogonium mucunoides) was fed to the two groups’ ad-libitu...

background : in recent years, due to its distinct geographical circumstances and position in a gorge, and accumulation of pollutants in surface air, isfahan, iran has become one of the most polluted cities in the iran in terms of air pollution. the purpose of this study was to estimate cardiovascular and respiratory diseases attributed to particulate matter of less than 10 microns (pm 10 ) in i...

purpose: to compare peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (rnfl) thickness among multiple sclerosis (ms) patients with or without a history of optic neuritis (on) and a healthy control group. methods: in this retrospective case-control study, 59 ms patients were recruited from a neurology clinic of imam hossein hospital. of which, 36 patients had at least one episode of on and 23 others had n...

In this study, the adsorption of amoxicillin onto activated carbon was investigated. The effect of particle size and the effluent flow rate was discussed as well as the kinetics and isotherm of adsorption equilibrium. The isotherm equilibrium studies showed that the Langmuir model was appropriate for describing the adsorption equilibrium of amoxicillin onto the activated carbon. Furthermore, th...

In the study of the pathology about 80 mice were examined. Half of these were studied in serial sections, cut at 10 microns, with every 15th section mounted and stained. The remainder were studied in non-serial sections. Hematoxylin-eosin and phloxinmethylene blue were used as routine, with silver and myelin stains where indicated. When infant mice were studied, the entire skull and brain were ...

The possibility of missing the diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) has been primarily attributed to the focal distribution of the sclerotic lesions, but this assumption has not been verified by any serial morphometric analysis of renal biopsy specimens. The aim of this study is to assess the size and the distribution of sclerotic lesions in primary FSGS and to establish the m...

As a means to automate the three-dimensional histological analysis of brain tissue, we demonstrate the use of femtosecond laser pulses to iteratively cut and image fixed as well as fresh tissue. Cuts are accomplished with 1 to 10 microJ pulses to ablate tissue with micron precision. We show that the permeability, immunoreactivity, and optical clarity of the tissue is retained after pulsed laser...
