BACKGROUND β-thalassemia, a monogenic autosomal recessive disorder, is prevalent in Middle East, particularly in Iran. In Iran, near to 20 mutations in the β-globin gene are introduced as common mutations with varying incidence frequencies in each city. Therefore, detection and screening for couples at high risk can help to solve the problems of this disease. In this study, optimized genotyping...

The title compound, (C(10)H(28)N(4))[MnCl(4)(H(2)O)(2)]Cl(2)·2H(2)O, consists of isolated octa-hedral [MnCl(4)(H(2)O)(2)](2-) anions, tetra-protonated 1,4,8,11-tetra-azoniacyclo-tetradecane cations, chloride anions and water mol-ecules connected by a network of hydrogen bonds. The Mn(II) atom is situated on an inversion centre, and the 1,4,8,11-tetra-azoniacyclo-tetradecane cation is located on...

Humans with spinal cord injury have impaired cardiovascular function proportional to the level and completeness of the lesion. The effect on cerebrovascular function is unclear, especially for high-level lesions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the integrity of dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) and the cerebrovascular reactivity in chronic tetraplegia (Tetra). After baseline, stead...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C(15)H(11)FN(6)S, forms a three-dimensional network stabilized by π-π inter-actions between the imidazole core and the tetra-zole ring of the tetra-zolopyridine-unit; the centroid-centroid distance is 3.627 (1) Å. The crystal structure also displays bifurcated N-H⋯(N,N) hydrogen bonding and C-H⋯F inter-actions. The former involve the NH H atom of the...

INTRODUCTION To study the efficacy of holmium laser urethrotomy with intralesional injection of Santosh PGI tetra-inject (Triamcinolone, Mitomycin C, Hyaluronidase and N-acetyl cysteine) in the treatment of urethral strictures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 50 patients with symptomatic urethral stricture were evaluated by clinical history, physical examination, uroflowmetry and retrograde u...

In the title compound, 4'-allyl-4,5,6,7,2',7'-hexa-chloro-fluorescein allyl ester {systematic name: prop-2-en-1-yl 2,3,4,5-tetra-chloro-6-[2,7-di-chloro-6-hy-droxy-3-oxo-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-3H-xanthen-9-yl]benzoate}, C26H14Cl6O5, accompanied by unknown solvate molecules, the dihedral angle between the xanthene ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.046 Å) and the penta-substituted benzene ring is 71....

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn 2 (C 9 H 3 O 6 )(NO )(C 5 NO) ] n , I consists two different zinc(II) ions bridged by carboxylate group benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (BTC 3− ). Zn1 center is tetra-coordinated atoms three symmetrically equivalent BTC anions and one nitrate atom in a distorted tetrahedral geometry with Zn—O bond lengths (average value 1.958 Å) slightly shorter than ...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pd(2)(C(9)H(12)NSe)(2)Cl(2)]·0.5CH(2)Cl(2), contains two half-mol-ecules, each lying on a twofold axis; each mol-ecule is chiral and of the same enanti-omer. This is only possible as the mol-ecule has a hinged cis arrangement about the Pd(2+) coordination spheres. For this hinged dimeric structure, the angles between the two coordination planes in eac...

The title compounds, calcium perchlorate tetra-hydrate and calcium perchlorate hexa-hydrate, were crystallized at low temperatures according to the solid-liquid phase diagram. The structure of the tetra-hydrate consists of one Ca(2+) cation eightfold coordinated in a square-anti-prismatic fashion by four water mol-ecules and four O atoms of four perchlorate tetra-hedra, forming chains parallel ...

The title compound, epalrestat {systematic name: (5Z)-5-[(2E)-2-methyl-3-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-yl-idene]-4-oxo-2-sulfanyl-idene-1,3-thia-zolidine-3-acetic acid}, crystallized as a tetra-hydro-furan monosolvate, C15H13NO3S2·C4H8O. Epalrestat, an important drug for diabetic neuropathy, has been reported to exist in polymphic, solvated and co-crystal forms. In the mol-ecule reported here, the phenyl ...
