Insect life stages are known imperfectly in many cases, and classifications are usually based on adult morphology. This is unfortunate as information on other life stages may be useful for biomonitoring. The major impediment to using elmid (Coleoptera) larvae for freshwater biomonitoring is the lack of larval descriptions and illustrations. Reliable molecular protocols may be used to associate ...

The magnitude and distribution of cypermethrin from total release, over-the-counter foggers was studied in a test room and in residences to facilitate evaluation of regulatory exposure algorithms and new human exposure assessments based upon urine biomonitoring. Surface residue (SR) was evenly distributed in a small test room (3.6 mciro g cypermethrin/cm(2)) where thorough mixing of the aerosol...

We analyzed a cohort of 26 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who had failed imatinib and a second tyrosine kinase inhibitor but were still in first chronic phase and identified prognostic factors for response and outcomes. The achievement of a prior cytogenetic response on imatinib or on second-line therapy were the only independent predictors for the achievement of complete cytogenetic re...

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 classification, acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is placed in category of AML with recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities. Cytogenetic confirmation reciprocal translocation t(15:17) essential criteria for diagnosis this entity. However, these tests may have a significant time delay and it usually characteristic morphology abnormal promyelocyt...

The interpretation of cytogenetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma (MM) is often a challenging task. MM is characterized by several cytogenetic abnormalities that occur at various time points in the disease course. The interpretation of cytogenetic results in MM is complicated by the number and complexity of the abnormalities, the methods used to detect them and the disease stage at which they...

We foresee a new global-scale, ecological approach to biomonitoring emerging within the next decade that can detect ecosystem change accurately, cheaply, and generically. Next-generation sequencing of DNA sampled from the Earth’s environments would provide data for the relative abundance of operational taxonomic units or ecological functions. Machine-learningmethods would then be used to recons...

Experiments on air and biomonitoring were conducted to evaluate pollution impact on the vegetation along the road in Jalgaon City, Maharashtra. The plantation along the roads and mainly includes neem (Aadirachta indica), peepal (Ficus religiosa), banyan (Ficus benghalensis), almond (Terminalia catapa). For biomonitoring, leaf area, total chlorophyll, plant protein were analyzed to study the imp...

background: in algeria, the data on infertility and its various causes are rare. recently, the introduction of assisted reproduction has allowed expecting that 300000 couples, which represent 7% of couples of reproductive age, face difficulty conceiving a child. knowing that most idiopathic cases are likely to be due to chromosomal abnormalities, we aimed to investigate genetic defects by karyo...

tea (camellia sinensis) is one of the most economically important crops and is considered tobe the national drink of iran. although there has been an intensive cytogenetic study of tea in differentregions of the world, there has been no report from iran. therefore, the present investigation was carriedout in order to present the basic cytogenetical features of various tea cultivators grown in t...
