INTRODUCTION A number of vision defects have been reported in association with albinism, such as photophobia, nystagmus and astigmatism. In many cases only prescription sunglasses are prescribed. In this report, the effectiveness of low-vision rehabilitation in albinism, which included prescription of multiple visual aids, is discussed. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 21-year-old A...

In healthy beings, age is the ultimate reason of cellular malfunction and death. In the rat retina, age causes a functional decline and loss of specific neuronal populations. In this regard, controversial conclusions have been reported for the innermost retina. Here, we have studied the albino and pigmented retina for the duration of the rat life-span. Independent of age (21 days-22 months), th...

Electrocardiogram and arterial pressure measurements were studied under acute exposures to WIFI (2.45GHz) during one hour in adult male rabbits. Antennas of WIFI were placed at 25cm at the right side near the heart. Acute exposure of rabbits to WIFI increased heart frequency (+22%) and arterial blood pressure (+14%). Moreover, analysis of ECG revealed that WIFI induced a combined increase of PR...

Anther culture is one of the most popular methods for obtaining haploid triticale plants. The current paper has presented study results efficiency method plants in promising winter forms bred by Federal Agricultural Research Center South-East. There been estimated haploproduction parameters studied genotypes on nutrient media C-17 and P-2. were no unresponsive to androgenesis. found that medium...

Background: During treatment, many drugs may become cause of cardiac system toxicity, cytotoxic therapy including 5- Fluorouracil (5- FU). It is regarded as antimetabolite which its toxic effects during S phase the cell cycle and got activation by conversion thymidine phosphorylase into fluorodeoxyuridylate (5 fluoro 2'deoxyuridine 5'monophosphate, 5-FdUMP) inhibition thymidylate synthase, ulti...

By P. EFRATI AND W. JONAS CHEDIAK, in 1952, published the first case of an anomaly of leukocytes, which was named after him. The patient was a young boy who died two years after the examination. In addition to the bctikocytc anomaly he exhibited hepatosp!enomegaly, lymphadenopathy, anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. The boy and his three brothers were albinos with marked photophobia. The...
