in the present study, the nonlinear model of non-newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. the model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. the vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. the cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...

background and purpose: invasive candidiasis (ic) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematologic disorders and bone marrow transplant recipients. rapid, specific and sensitive test for the timely accuracy in immunocompromised patients to reduce mortality rates and prevent ic progress is necessary. we established a real-time pcr assay on blood for the diagnosis an...

two independent experiments were conducted with broilers to determine the effect of threonine and vitamin a on immune system. in first experiment, dietary treatments contained 0.8%, 0.87%, 0.94 % and 1.01 % total threonine. in second experiment, diets were as follows: basal diet without vitamin a; basal diet plus 1500 iu/kg vitamin a; basal diet plus 6250 iu/kg vitamin a; basal diet plus 11000 ...

this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silver sulfate (agso4) as a toxicant in goldfish (carassiusauratus). one hundred and forty-seven live specimens of c. auratus were obtained and exposed to 1, 10, 100, 500, 1000 and 2000 ppm of agso4for 96 hours. there was one control group (no agso4) and three replicates. the physicochemical properties of water and the following parameters were const...

introduction: it is important that biological and health effects from the induction of currents and fields in the body by extremely low frequency (elf) fields are fully explored to determine the effects produced at the molecular, cellular and organ levels. the objective of this study was to evaluate the intensity of elf electromagnetic fields and its probable relationship with hematological cha...

introduction the continuous and rapid growth of telecommunication industries, along with the common application of cell phones, hasraised debates on the associated risks for humanhealth due to exposure to radiofrequency fields, caused bycell phonesorother sources, and industrial and medical applications. accordingly, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of cell phone radiation on ...
