Zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) are essential but are sometimes deficient in humans, while cadmium (Cd) is toxic if it accumulates in the liver and kidneys at high levels. All three are contained in the grains of rice, a staple cereal. Zn and Fe concentrations in rice grains harvested under different levels of soil/hydroponic metals are known to change only within a small range, while Cd concentrations...

Understanding Zn uptake dynamics is critical to rice grain Zn biofortification. Here we examined soil Zn availability and Zn uptake pathways as affected by genotype (high-grain Zn varieties IR69428 and IR68144), Zn fertilization and water management in two pot experiments. Results showed significant interactions (P < 0.05) between genotypes and Zn fertilization on DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaa...

Aim: Poor mobilization is an important problem in autologous stem cell transplantation. The ratio of poor mobilization is higher in lymphoma patients. There is limited data about poor mobilization in lymphoma patients. We aimed to identify the possible risk factors for poor mobilization using data from 57 lymphoma patients. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 57 lymph...

in order to evaluate the effect of nitrogen rates and green manure crops on dry matter mobilization and mobilization efficiency indices of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) a field experiment was conducted in agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university, ahvaz during growing season of 2010-2011. the experimental design was split-plot based on randomized complete block with three replications. m...

Spontaneous adrenal hemorrhage is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition. Preoperative diagnosis is extremely complicated because of the formation of hematoma. Current treatment modalities range from supportive management to remobilization or immediate laparotomy. Herein, we present a huge idiopathic unilateral adrenal hemorrhage which was not associated with any trauma, previous sur...
