Hereditary angioedema is a rare (1:50,000) hereditary chronic disease from the group of primary immunodeficiencies, which manifests in form recurrent skin and mucous membrane edema respiratory tract gastrointestinal tract. Pathogenesis this are associated with an increased risk number cardiovascular pathologies, complexity management choosing optimal treatment methods. This case report demonstr...

physiographic characteristics and climatic conditions are factors which contributing to river flow regime and understanding of relations between these factors and river flow in a basin result in its application for the ungauged sub-basins river flow prediction. in this research the relation between physiographic and climatic parameters of golestan province and rivers flow were examined by appli...

Background: The permanent dominance of Planktothrix-like сyanobacteria has been often reported for shallow eutrophic\hypertrophic lakes in central Europe in summer\autumn. However studies on phytoplankton growth under ice cover in nutrient-rich lakes are very scarce. Lake Nero provides a good example of the contrasting seasonal extremes in environmental conditions. Moreover, the ecosystem under...

The degree to which vertebrate herbivores exploitatively compete for the same food plant may depend on the level of compensatory plant growth. Such compensation is higher when there is reduced density-dependent competition in plants after herbivore damage. Whether there is relief from competition may largely be determined by the life-history stage of plants under herbivory. Such stage-specific ...

Dirnberger, J. M. and J. Weinberger. 2005. Influences of lake level changes on reservoir water clarity in Allatoona Lake, Georgia. Lake and Reserv. Manage. Vol. 21(1):24-29. In Allatoona Lake (Georgia USA), secchi transparency (measured every 2 to 4 weeks during a Phase I U.S. EPA Clean Lakes Study) was typically 5to 8fold greater in summer than late autumn and winter. The intensity of storms i...

Second year needles of Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta L.) were exposed for 6 weeks to either simulated control summer ['summer'; 25 °C/250 photon flux denisty (PFD)], autumn ('autumn'; 15°C/250 PFD) or winter conditions ('winter'; 5 °C/250 PFD). We report that the proportion of linear electron transport utilized in carbon assimilation (ETR(CO2)) was 40% lower in both 'autumn' and 'winter' pine ...

Coral patch reefs around San Salvador Island, Bahamas have been monitored with the aid of Earthwatch volunteers three times a year since 1992. During that period two significant mass bleaching events occurred: autumn 1995, and late summer 1998. Elsewhere in 1995, bleaching was caused by higher-than-normal summer sea temperatures; in San Salvador, however, temperatures were normal. In 1998 a pro...
