While there has been a number of consumers' studies looking at factors that influence individuals' attitudes and behavior toward GM foods, few studies have considered agricultural professionals' intentions in this regard. This study illuminates agricultural professionals' insights toward GM foods in Southwest Iran. A random sample of 262 respondents was studied. The results indicated that the m...

Geographically MS describes three frequency zones. High frequency areas (prevalence 30+ per 100 000) now comprise most of Europe, Israel, Canada, northern US, southeastern Australia, New Zealand, and easternmost Russia. Medium frequency areas include southern US, most of Australia, South Africa, the southern Mediterranean basin, Russia into Siberia, the Ukraine and parts of Latin America. Preva...

The osmoregulatory function of common spiny mice Acomys cahirinus living on opposite slopes of the lower Nahal Oren (‘Evolution Canyon’) on mount Carmel, Israel, was investigated by increasing the salinity of the water source whilst maintaining a high-protein diet. The southern-facing slope (SFS) of this canyon differs from the northern-facing slope (NFS) as it receives considerably more solar ...

The significant prevalence of mass lesions in the liver among the general population has prompted the emphasis on understanding each of the condition’s clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. Another reason to fully understand the characteristics of the different space-occupying lesions in the liver is the fact that the treatment varies depending on the type of lesion found in the live...

Figure 1: (A) Transaxial T2-weighted image showing a clear structural relationship of the tumour and blood vessels. (B) Coronal T2-weighted image showing the tumour with heterogeneous signal intensity, and predominantly with high signal intensity. (C) Coronal-enhanced T1-weighted image showing a huge tumour: 21.5 × 8.4 × 9.8 cm, encompassing the left common carotid artery, pressing against the ...

Space occupying liver lesions usually present with abdominal pain or abnormal physical findings, such as a palpable abdominal mass or distention. Liver lesions identified in children include benign and malignant neoplasms, inflammatory masses, cysts and metastatic lesions. Two-thirds of liver lesions in children are malignant. Hepatoblastoma accounts for two-thirds of malignant liver tumors in ...

A space occupying lesion by definition is a discrete abnormality arising within the liver. Space occupying lesions of the liver can be classified into developmental, neoplastic, inflammatory and miscellaneous. Although in some cases, it is difficult to distinguish these entities with imaging criteria alone, certain focal liver lesions have classic ultrasonic, computed tomographic (CT) and magne...

Introduction Prior to the widespread advent of frameless stereotaxy, intracranial tumour surgery relied upon a 3-D conceptualisation of anatomy from pre-operative imaging. External anatomical landmarks such as the coronal suture and auricle helped guide the placement of a craniotomy. Bone flaps were often planned with a margin for error, particularly when locating non-lobar tumours. The choice ...
