During year 2008–11, some infected leaves of eucalypt trees (Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh.) having blight and spot symptoms were collected in Golestan province (N Iran). The necrotic spots were appeared on both surfaces of the leaves and were circular to irregular, single to confluent, medium brown to light brown with red brown margin (Fig. 1A & B). In some cases, young leaves have been sever...

The authors regret having misquoted the article from Ko JH et al. (2008). (“Theta burst stimulation-induced inhibition of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reveals hemispheric asymmetry in striatal dopamine release during a set-shifting task: a TMS-[(11)C]raclopride PET study”) in the present publication. This happened due to a misreading of the paper and led to a partial reversion of the findings...

Research in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) has exploded in the last two decades, which are marked by an exponential increase in the number of theoretical and experimental publications in this field. The typically good thermal stability, ionic conductivity, and solvability of RTILs make them superior electrolytes in many electrochemical applications, such as metal electrodeposition and e...

Percutaneous valve implantation is an innovative, successful alternative to open-heart surgery for the treatment of both pulmonary and aortic heart valve dysfunction (Bonhoeffer et al., 2000; Cribier et al., 2002; Leon et al., 2011; Lurz et al., 2008; McElhinney DB et al., 2010; Rodes-Cabau et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2011; Vahanian et al., 2008). However, this minimallyinvasive procedure still...

Stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been proposed as an important gatekeeper for invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients evaluated for possible coronary artery disease (CAD) (Fihn et al., 2012; Montalescot et al., 2013) [1], [2]. Several meta-analyses have evaluated the accuracy of stress perfusion CMR to diagnose CAD at th...

Cocaine is the main active alkaloid extracted from the leaves of the coca plant, Erythroxylum coca. It is a widely abused psychotropic drug, for its immediate neurological effects, including euphoria, reduced fatigue and increased mental acuity and sexual desire (Devlin & Henry, 2008; Goldstein et al., 2009; Small et al., 2009). However, cocaine abuse is usually followed by many pathophysiologi...
