The present study examines the radionuclides ( 40 K, 226 Ra and 210 Pb) concentrations in soil plants collected from El Jadida agricultural area. transfer factors of to different components (stems, roots, leaves, fruits) was also determined assessed. include various vegetable crops, including pumpkin, zucchini, beans, fennel, potato, sunflower, broccoli, onion, carrot, cabbage, tomato, mallow t...

conclusions our findings suggest that there is an association between the mthfr c677t polymorphism and susceptibility for the development of ra. results our results showed significant differences between the groups with respect to mthfr c677t genotype (p = 0.015) and allele frequencies (0.004). statistical analysis showed that there is no relation between gender, age, and ra risk. however, we fo...

ntroduction: The purpose of this study was to measure the radioactivity in the agricultural soil of south-east of Shazand Refinery Complex to determine both reliable baseline data on the radiation level and the radiation dose exposure to the farmers and inhabitants of the studied area. Material and Methods: This study was conducted on 21 soil...

The geochemistry of Ba, Ra, Th, and U and the potential of using Ra/Ba ratios as an alternative dating method are explored in modern and Holocene marine mollusc shells. Five modern shells of the Antarctic scallop Adamussium colbecki collected from the present day beach and six radiocarbon dated specimens from Holocene beach terraces of the Ross Sea region (Antarctic) between 700 and 6100 calibr...

High levels of rheumatoid factors (RF) are detectable in serum of the majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but 5-10% of patients remain seronegative (SN). Despite clinical and genetic similarities between these two subsets of RA, it has been proposed that they may be regarded as distinct clinical entities. Methods: In the present study a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) rec...

introduction: the human being is part of its surrounding socio-economic framework. he is affected by the environment and actively affects it. ignoring the socio-economic dimensions of health leads to the failure of health promotion programs and widens the inequity in the health status of different groups in the society. the aim of this study is to identify the socio-economic and demographic sta...

conclusions in our patients, the ra grafts had an acceptable patency rate in 2 to 5 years’ follow-up. although the sv grafts had a relatively higher patency rate than ra grafts in our asymptomatic patients, the patency rates in ra and sv grafts were close to each other. the ra graft function was poor in the patients with a higher number of risk factors and in the females. background patency of ...
