isolated impacted supernumerary teeth are quite rare, but they can be seen associated with several syndromes such as cleidocranial dysostosis or gardner's syndrome. this article aims to discuss a case of sequential formation of supernumerary teeth with no other associated disease or syndrome. a 17-year-old iranian male with 8 impacted supernumerary teeth was referred to the department of pediat...

background diazinon is one of the most widely used organophosphrous pesticides in the world may affect animals and human. objectives this study was done to assess whether pseudomonas plecoglossicida can grow on diazinon as the sole carbon metabolic source in laboratory and agricultural soil. materials and methods serial dilutions of pure and commercial diazinon in minimal salt medium were made ...

Older literature has suggested that the plasma sodium concentration is not individual, that it is neither intrinsic to an individual nor reproducible, longitudinally. We recently observed that the plasma sodium concentration is heritable. Because demonstrable heritability requires individuality of the relevant phenotype, we hypothesized that the plasma sodium concentration was substantially ind...

nowadays, uncontrolled and frequent use of antibiotics may cause emergence of microbial resistanceamong pathogenic agents. therefore, the use of new synthetic and natural antimicrobial compounds isinevitable. one source of natural compounds in this respect comes from plants. the purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial effects of peel extracts from sour and sweet pomegranate. meth...

Robust and fully automatic 3D registration of serial-section microscopic images is critical for detailed anatomical reconstruction of large biological specimens, such as reconstructions of dense neuronal tissues or 3D histology reconstruction to gain new structural insights. However, robust and fully automatic 3D image registration for biological data is difficult due to complex deformations, u...

There is good evidence that biological perceptual systems exploit the temporal continuity in the world: When asked to reproduce or rate sequentially presented stimuli (varying in almost any dimension), subjects typically err toward the previous stimulus, exhibiting so-called "serial dependence." At this stage it is unclear whether the serial dependence results from averaging within the perceptu...

Background and objectives: Marine macro algae are one of the most economically important resources of the oceans which contain important biologically active secondary metabolites. So they can be widely used in various applications. Due to the limited research work on the bioactive metabolites from Iranian algae, the red seaweed, Hypnea charoides, collected from interti...

Background: Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms, enzymes, and plant extracts is regarded as an alternative to chemical methods. Microalgae appear to be an efficient biological platform for nanoparticle synthesis as they grow rapidly and produce large biomass at lower cost. Objectives: The possibility of silver nanoparticles biosynthesisby freshwater green microalgae, Chlamydomona...
