Radiologists seldom encounter parasitic diseases in their daily practice in most of Europe, although the incidence of these diseases is increasing due to migration and tourism from/to endemic areas. Moreover, some parasitic diseases are still endemic in certain European regions, and immunocompromised individuals also pose a higher risk of developing these conditions. This article reviews and su...

The ideas fundamental to the design of cation complexing host molecules can also be applied in the construction of molecular hosts for anions. Following the basic concept the macrotricyclic ammonium hosts la and j& were prepared. They were shown to bind anions by encapsulation into their molecular cavities in aqueous solution. This inclusion process causes guest discrimination according to inte...

IP based geolocation is a widely used geolocation technique because of its ability to geolocate the hosts where GPS or other techniques become ineffective or unavailable. Measurement-based geolocation techniques utilize landmarks to make end-to-end delay measurements and compute the host location based on delay to distance mappings. Fewer landmarks and/or inaccurate delay to distance mapping le...

In a parasitic survey of the native and introduced fishes in the Zayandehrud River, 5 Myxobolus spp. were found in the gills, fins and skin of examined fish specimens. They include M. varicorhini from fin and M. samgoricus from skin of Capoeta damascina, M. musajevi from gills of Capoeta capoeta gracilis, Myxobolus cristatus from Capoeta aculeata, and M. saidovi from Alburnus sp. Data on the lo...

During 2011, twigs, leaves and fruits of symptomatic hosts containing Fusicladium species from Guilan, Mazandaran, Qazvin and Ardabil provinces were sampled and examined. Five species including F. carpophilum, F. fraxini, F. oleagineum, F. pomi and F. pyrorum were identified based on morphological data. Of these, F. carpophilum and F. fraxini are identified as new records for the mycobiota of I...
