The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different plant growth regulators, NAA (0 mg/l, 50 mg/l and 100 mg/l) and GA3 (0 mg/l, 50 mg/l and 100 mg/l), with various boron concentrations (0 mg/l, 50 mg/l and 100 mg/l) on pollen germination of ‘Şaba’, ‘Rabie’ and ‘Padre’ almond cultivars in 10% sucrose and 1% agar medium at 24°C in dark conditions. The results showed that different tr...

OBJECTIVE Urinary iodine concentration is the prime indicator of nutritional iodine status and is used to evaluate population-based iodine supplementation. In 1994, WHO, UNICEF and ICCIDD recommended median urinary iodine concentrations for populations of 100- 200 micro g/l, assuming the 100 micro g/l threshold would limit concentrations <50 micro g/l to </=20% of people. Some scientists felt t...

Nowadays, increase fruit losses are being reported due to the development of fungal postharvest diseases. In an attempt reduce use synthetic fungicides, a turn towards natural products such as essential oils (EOs) and compounds has been made. The objective this study was investigate effects eucalyptus (Euc), rosemary (Ros) EO, their mixture (50:50 v/v) common main component (i.e., eucalyptol) o...

The purpose of this experiment was to examine whether the cAMP-adenosine pathway is implicated in the autoregulatory vasodilation in response to hypotension. Suffusion with cAMP (1-100 μmol/l) or adenosine (0.01-10 μmol/l) caused a sustained vasodilation of the resting pial arteries in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, N 6,2'- O-dibutyryl-cAMP and 8-bromo-cAMP exerted a weak dilati...

A rapid, microenzymatic method was used to measure cerebrospinal fluid lactate levels in 205 children with suspected bacterial meningitis. Fifty children with normal CSF containing fewer than 0.005 X 10(9)/l WBC, no segmented neutrophils, glucose 3.4 +/- 0.8 mmol/l (61.2 +/- 14.4 mg/100 ml), and a protein of less than 0.30 g/l had CSF lactate levels below 2.0 mmol/l (18 mg/100 ml) (mean and sta...

Case report A 47-year-old woman was admitted to the Royal Sussex County Hospital on 11 June 1968 in renal failure due to chronic pyelonephritis. Investigations. Hb 52%4, WBC 7200/m3, blood urea 346 mg/100 ml, creatinine clearance 4-2 ml/min, serum sodium 140 mEq/l, calcium 8-0 mg/100 ml, phosphate 12-2 mg/100 ml, alkaline phosphatase 16-0 KA Units; urinary sodium 26 mEq/l, potassium 22-3 mEq/l,...
