The leukocyte migration test (LMT) reactivity of breast cancer patients to Rill murine mammary tumor virus (MuMTV) gp55 was studied and compared with simulta neous reactivity to the following: (a) RIM gp55 prepared in another laboratory; (b) gp68, gp34, and p28 of Rill MuMTV; (c) gpSO of A-strain MuMTV; (d) gp70 and gp45 of Rauscher leukemia virus; and (e) autologous and homol ogous lymphoretic...

@“Tc-MIBI uptake in breast cancer in 1992 (2), there has been continued interest in the evaluation of breast cancer using this radiopharmaceutical agent. Various groups have reported the clinical usefulness of @Tc-MIBIscintimam mography. In particular, @†̃Tc-MIBI scintimammography hasbeen usedto detect tumors in patients with densebreasts, to evaluate chemotherapeutic response, and to predic...

Background and aims. Only half to two-thirds of cardiovascular diseases can be explained by the classic risk factors. It is believed that chronic oral inflammation is a potent risk factor for systemic diseases. Studies show that electrocardiogram ST segment changes can be predictive of myocardial infarction outcome. In this study the relation between electrocardio-gram ST segment changes and or...

Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a neurocristopathy with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, and considerable clinical and genetic heterogeneity. WS type II is the most common type of WS in many populations presenting with sensorineural hearing impairment, heterochromia iridis, hypoplastic blue eye, and pigmentary abnormalities of the hair and skin. To date, mutations of MITF, SOX10, and SNA...

Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome is a multisystem pathology characterized by mental retardation and delayed physical development in combination with set of phenotypic features, which make up recognizable pattern the disease. This review literature highlights molecular‑genetic basis presumed pathogenesis syndrome, considers questions geno‑phenotypic correlations differential diagnosis group pathologies...

Present methods for genetic evaluation of livestock are largely based on phenotypic information and pedigree registration. Genomics offers the opportunity to dissect phenotypic differences at the molecular level, which provides a better insight into the underlying genetic model. This affects genetic evaluations as well as selection strategies. Opportunities to utilize molecular and phenotypic i...

influence of maternal and sire-generation interaction effects on day-old chick' weight was investigated in two commercial broiler sire and dam lines, and in mazandaran native fowls. the data were analysed through restricted maximum likelihood (reml) procedures, using asreml software. ten different animal models were implemented and compared with likelihood ratio test. all models consisted ...

in order to estimate the genetic parameters and comparison legendre polynomials for production traits of iranian holstein dairy cattle test-day records of first lactation cows for milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, fat percentage and protein percentage traits were used. these records collected from 2006 to 2010, by the animal breeding center of iran. the genetic parameters were estimated usi...
