Introduction: This study aimed to determine the hotspot areas for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) in Fasa city and assess the relations between the geographical factors with CL incidence using spatial analysis. Materials and Methods: This ecological study was conducted in Fasa city, data of the CL disease such as the total number of CL cases and the population at risk from 2009 to 2014. Weather c...

Background & Aims: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has been endemic in Bam district for many years and several epidemics have already occurred. Following a silent period, another outbreak of CL occurred after the earthquake in 2003. This study was performed to find the trend of CL during 20 years (1988-2007) in Bam district. Methods: In a retrospective study, data of 29395 CL patients were col...

results fifty four of 84 (64.2%) slides obtained from patients had positive results microscopically, while 79/84 (94%) of slides had positive results by fta card-nested-pcr. pcr and microscopy showed a sensitivity of 96.4% and 64.2% and specificity of 100% and 100%, respectively. interestingly, leishmania major as causative agent of zoonotic cl was identified in 100% and 90.7% of cl cases from ...

in this paper, aggregation behaviors of aqueous solutions of short chain hydrophilic ionic liquids (ils), 1 – allyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([amim]cl), 1 - ethyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([emim]cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim]cl), 1 - butyl - 3 - methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]bf4) were investigated using conductivity and laser light scatterin...

the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and  pheny -9-acridinecarboxylate in the presence of rhodamin b as a fluorophore leads to the emission of either bright blue light  or bright red light, depending on the structure of fluorescer and reaction conditions. the light emitter responsible for the chemi luminescence (cl) reaction is acridone and that the blue light produced with out the fluorescers is ...

background: one of the most common anomalies in newborn infants is cleft lip and/or cleft palate (cl/p). in spite of several studies about the prevalence of this, no investigation evaluated this prevalence in the west and north-west of iran. with due attention to different ethnic groups in this area, the aim of this study is to investigate whether the distribution of cl/p live births varies reg...

In this protocol, 3-(2-carboxybenzoyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride [Cbmim]Cl and sulfonic acid functionalized pyridinium chloride [pyridine-SO3H]Cl as a new, reusable, and green Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL) catalyst were synthesized and successfully used for the one-pot ring opening of epoxide with sodium azide (NaN3) in water at room temperature. Epoxides under ring-opening easi...
