introduction: the aim of this study was to setup, optimize and introduce a sensitive and specific pcr detection method for identification of neisseria meningitidis dna in clinical samples. material and methods: capsular transport gene a (ctra) was selected as a specific target sequence. this primer pair amplifies 101bp of the target gene. neisseria meningitidis strain: atcc; 13090 and neisseria...

background and aims: newcastle disease virus (ndv) is an avian paramyxovirus (a-pmv 1) and one of the major pathogens in poultries. vaccination is intended to control the disease, nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. so, early detection of the virus can prevent the spread of illness and avoid huge economic losses. towards this goal, in this research, we developed...

Genital TB may present as on abdominopelvic mass mimicking ovarian malignancy because clinical and laboratory findings are similar. Family history is very important and should be considered for differential diagnosis. Three cases of genital TB with presentation of abdominopelvic masses and with no signs and symptoms of TB were presented. Two of them had positive family history of pulmonary TB. ...

Crush preparation cytology technique was used during the operative procedure for the diagnosis of 199 CNS tumors. This technique is simple, easy to perform, rapid, and inexpensive. The cytomorphologic findings were excellent and helped achieve a rapid and correct diagnosis. This technique was used on the tiny, small specimens which were not suitable for frozen sectioning. The results were c...

We present a case of spontaneous rupture of the diaphragm, characterized by nonspecific symptoms. The rapid diagnosis and appropriate surgical approach led to a positive resolution of the pathology.

The aim of this paper is to spread the use of Rapid Prototyping technology (RP) into architecture. Rapid Prototyping is being used since its origin by designers in different fields as product design, automobile industry, medical applications, arts, and it has been proved that it is an essential tool in any design process. The designer has the possibility of building the scale model in very few ...
