BACKGROUND Catharanthus roseus L (C. roseus) has been used to treat a wide assortment of diseases including diabetes. The objective of our study was to evaluate the antimicrobial and wound healing activity of the flower extract of Catharanthus in rats. METHODS Wound healing activity was determined in rats, after administration (100 mg kg-1 day-1) of the ethanol extract of C. roseus flower, us...

lamb survival is one of the major factors affecting overall sheep productivity. lamb survival affected by environmental effect such as management, birth-type, year, season of birth, dam-age, maternal behavior, genotype of parents, and birth-weight. the data comprised 9989 records were collected from 1989 to 2009 in iranian baluchi sheep at abbasabad sheep breeding station. four binary traits cr...

the objective of this study is to determine risk factors causing increase in very low birth way (vlbw) neonatal mortality. the medical files of all neonates weighing ≤1500 g, born in vali-e-asr hospital (2001-2004) were studied. two groups of neonates (living and dead) were compared up to the time of hospital discharge or death. a total of 317 neonates were enrolled. a meaningful relationship e...

Currently, the integration method of silicon PIN radiation detectors faces challenges such as complex processes, poor reliability and thick dead layers. Novel methods based on metal bonding technology for realizing thin are needed with requirement reducing signal crosstalk, package volume weight. Combined current research technology, this paper presents an extensive review especially Al to prov...

Microbial cells have been successfully used as biosorbents to remove heavy metals from wastewater. In some cases, dead cells appear to offer more advantages than living cells in the removal and recovery of heavy metal ions from industrial wastewater. Maintaining higher biosorption capability and understanding t...
