in this work, an environmentally friendly sample pre-treatment method, ultrasound assisted surfactant enhanced emulsification microextraction (uaseme) followed with spectrofluorimetry was performed for determination of oxadiazon residues in water samples. after the determination of the most suitable extraction solvent and its volume, other parameters such as type and concentration of surfactant...

laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (lavh) was performed in fifteen patients without invasive cancer. indications for hysterectomy were myomas, abnormal uterine bleeding unresponsive to hormonal treatment and dilatation and curettage, chronic pelvic pain with first degree uterine prolapse and possible adenomyosis, and dysplasia and ovarian cyst in postmenopausal years. no significant...

in this study, simple and efficient ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (usaeme) combined with gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (gc-fid) was developed for the preconcentration and determination of carbamazepine in biological samples. in this method, the fine droplets of 1-octanol were formed and dispersed in the sample with the help of ultrasonic waves, which accelera...

background: improvement of assisted reproductive technique (art) results in higher pregnancy rates from positive beta hcg to take home baby statistics. despite developments in culture media allowing blastocyst stage transfer, some centers apply second, third and sometimes fourth day post injection for embryo transfer. this study aimed to compare their reproductive outcomes.   methods : this pro...

myostatin or growth and differentiation factor 8 (gdf8), has been known as the factor causing double muscling phenotypes in which a series of mutations make the myostatin protein inactive, hence disabling it to regulate the deposition of muscle fibre. this phenotype happens with high frequency in a breed of sheep known as the texel. quantitative trait loci (qtl) studies show that a portion of t...

rapid development in assisted reproductive techniques along with relieving the pain of childlessness has brought new ethical and policy dilemmas. posthumous assisted reproduction is the most challenging, difficult and sensitive issue to be discussed ethically and religiously. in this paper the acceptability of the posthumous reproduction in islamic contexts is evaluated and major concerns like ...
