Aims: Ocular injury by mustard gas (HD) leads to severe eye damage. Long term characterization of mustard gas ocular toxicity has not been described in detail yet. Present study was performed in order to explore chronic histological and immunopathologic effects of HD ocular exposure and try to find etiology for these effects.   Methods: This descriptive case study was performed on corneal and...

background functional iron deficiency (fid) may cause erythropoietin resistance in patients under hemodialysis (hd). since the role of chronic inflammation or oxidative stress in its pathogenesis is unclear, controversy remains to whether intravenous iron or intravenous ascorbic acid (an antioxidant) can improve this anemia due to decreased iron availability. objectives the current study compar...

huntingtons disease (hd) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by involuntary movements, behavioral and personality changes, dementia and cognitive decline. although the mean age of onset is about 40 years, it varies from 5 to 79 years. therefore, at-risk individuals are never sure to have escaped the disease. hd is a member of the growing family of neurodegenerative disorder...

the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) may play an essential role in the pathogenesis of the respiratory chain complex activities in neurodegenerative disorders such as huntington’s disease (hd). research studies have been conducted to determine the possible levels of mitochondrial defect (deletion) in hd patients and the interaction between the expanded huntingtin gene as a nuclear gene and mitochondri...

the genus haplophyllum, which belongs to the rutaceae family, includes 18 species in iran. in this study, after collecting plant material, botanical identification and suitable drying, the essential oils from aerial parts of haplophyllum robustum bge. were extracted by three different isolation techniques, conventional hydrodistillation (hd), microwave-assisted hydrodistillation (mahd) and solv...

we have analyzed paraffin sections from 55 patients with histologically confirmed hodgkin’s disease (hd) for the presence of epstein-barr virus (ebv) markers using in situ hybridization to detect the ebv-encoded rnas (ebers) and immunohistochemistry to identify latent membrane protein-1 (lmp1) expression. tissue specimens from 55 cases of hodgkin’s disease included 22-mixed cellularity (mc), 27...

The orange tree (Citrus sinensis) is a species of fruit shrubs the Rutaceae family. Essential oils from citrus peels are widely used in various agro-food and pharmaceutical preparations hence they must be recovered using green extraction methods. In this study, we compare efficiency five techniques (conventional hydro-distillation (HD), Salt-assisted by HD (S-HD), Ultrasound-assisted (US-HD), E...

Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal, dominant neurogenetic disorder. HD results from polyglutamine repeat expansion (CAG codon, Q) in exon 1 of HD, conferring a toxic gain of function on the protein huntingtin (htt). Currently, no preventative treatment exists for HD. RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a potential therapeutic tool for treating dominant diseases by directly reducing disease...

A Hausdorff distance (HD) is one of commonly used measures for object matching. This work analyzes the conventional HD measures and proposes two robust HD measures based on m-estimation and least trimmed square (LTS) which are more efficient than the conventional HD measures. By computer simulation, the matching performance of the conventional and proposed HD measures is compared with synthetic...
