Background Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of acquired muscle diseases, which have distinct clinical, pathological and histological features. Autoantibodies clinically useful biomarkers to help the diagnosis IIM. Raynaud’s phenomenon is very frequent presence microvascular changes in IIM been described however, role nailfold videocapillaroscopy NVC) for progno...

introduction deep vein thrombosis is one of the most important complications in patients with spinal cord injury. this study compares the effects of mechanical prophylaxis with or without pharmacological prophylaxis on prevention of deep vein thrombosis in patients with spinal cord injury. materials and methods we conducted a double blind clinical trial study with 75 cases. these patients were ...

This study considers a general class of twodimensional, discrete population models where each per capita transition function (fitness) depends on a linear combination of the densities of the interacting populations. The fitness functions are either monotone decreasing functions (pioneer fitnesses) or one-humped functions (climax fitnesses). Conditions are derived which guarantee that an equilib...

Viral pathogens are major causes of outbreaks in shrimp farms throughout the world. Monodon baculovirus has been known to be invasive in 85-100% of the shrimp hatcheries, in early or late stages of shrimp. Three-hundred and sixty juvenile of Litopenaeus vannamei with average (±SD) size of 7.99±0.54 g and 3600 post larvae 10-15 were prepared from Shrimp Research Station located in Helleh and 3 h...

Background: The antisynthetase syndrome (SAS) is characterized by the presence of antibodies, anti-JO1, PL7 y PL12 are most common; and classic triad myositis, arthritis, diffuse interstitial lung disease (ILD) 1 . Most patients present incomplete forms severity ILD determines prognosis 2 Objectives: to analyze epidemiological, clinical serological characteristics treatments used in a cohort wi...

The present study has revealed that, the temperature has a crucial role among the observed physiochemical parameters on the growth and survival of P. margaritifera spat. Instantaneous growth rates (IGRs) in DVM, APM and TWT were calculated and used to assess the variation in growth of spat reared with different feed mixtures (FM-1 8) of five diatoms and stocking densities (SD-10, 20 and 30). Am...
