Malnutrition occurs frequently in patients with cancer. Indeed, a variety of nutritional and tumor-related factors must be taken into account in these patients. Recognizing this relationship, we aimed to prospectively evaluate the risk factors that influence weight loss in patients undergoing radiotherapy with oral nutritional supplementation and dietetic counseling. Weight loss of 74 patients ...

in order to evaluation the effect of drought stress on germination indices and early seedling growth of medicinal herb dill (anethum graveolens l), an experiment was conducted in the agricultural laboratory of urmia payam noor university in 2015 as a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were five levels of drought stress (0, -1, -2, -3 and -4 bar induced by polyet...

The birth weight of a newborn is a significant determinant of neonatal and postnatal infant mortality. Maternal weight gain during pregnancy is one of the significant factors that influences on birth weight. Our purpose of this study is that to determine the effect of maternal eight gain on neonatal birth weight. This descriptive study is done on women who delivered in Mahdieh Hospital since M...

Seed size is a crucial plant trait that may potentially affect not only immediate seedling success but also the subsequent generation. We examined variation in seed weight of Wyoming sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis Beetle and Young), an excellent candidate species for rangeland restoration. The working hypothesis was that a major fraction of spatial and temporal variability in...

introduction: sexual dimorphisms in biological structures such as brain and behaviour have been widely recognized in animals and humans. the purpose of this study was to examine whether there are sex differences in the size of the cerebellum with other body traits, such as the head, tail and brain. methods: twelve grasscutters comprising of 6 males and 6 females were used in this study. each br...

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate anthropometric characteristics of weight, sitting & standing height, cormic index and BMI in the adult residents of Qazvin, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 300 adult inhabitants aged 18-55 years (180 males and 120 females) of Qazvin, Iran were evaluated.

To determine the relationship between within-litter birth weight variation and pre-weaning survival and weight gain, and to provide practical guidance on fostering low-birth-weight piglets, we analyzed piglet survival and weight gain in litters of piglets from 52 sows followed through eight consecutive parities. Litters with high variation in birth weight had more deaths, especially if the litt...

A mesoscale objective analysis scheme for producing daily rainfall analysis on a regular latitude/longitude grid over the Indian monsoon region is described. The Barnes scheme is applied to interpolate irregularly distributed daily rainfall data on to a regular grid. The spatial resolution of the interpolated arrays is 0.25 degrees of latitude by 0.25 degrees of longitude. Daily rainfall derive...

HbA1 weight in individual red cells, amounting to 13,746, was quantitatively determined in 72 male and 17 female healthy adults. The red cells were besmeared on the anti-HbA1 serum agarose plate and the precipitation rings formed were measured from the size printed on sheets of printing paper. HbA1 weight in individual cells was calculated from the calibration curve prepared specially for HbA1,...
