Background & Aims: SLC26A4 gene mutations are the second identifiable genetic cause of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) after GJB2 mutations and are currently investigated in molecular diagnosis.In databases, several potential STR markers related to this region have been introduced. In this investigation, the characteristics and informativeness of D7S2425 CA repeat STR mar...

background: clopidogrel is a standout amongst the most ordinarily recommended medications to avoid ischemic occasions taking after coronary disorder or stant position. however, impaired responses the therapy as well as resistance to the therapy have also been reported. genetic variants play an important role in clopidogrel biotransformation of its active metabolite that may subsequently influen...

diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (dgat1) is a key enzyme in synthesis of triglycerides. a transition mutation resulting substitution of guanine by adenine in dgat1 gene and substitution of lysine by alanine in diacylglycerol-acyltransferase enzyme in cattle has a major effect on milk yield and milk composition traits. in this research, the polymorphism of the region spanning exon 3 to exon 17 of...

Delivery process is accompanied by pain and one of the duties of midwives is to reduce pain during labor. The reduction in the duration of labor has always been considered. Atropine and Hyoscine are among drugs to reduce the duration of labor which used by doctors and some midwives but their effects are not yet fully examined. The aim of this research is studying the effects of these two popula...

PURPOSE To characterize the phenotype of Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) patients homozygous for the BBS1 M390R mutation. METHODS Three patients [PT1, F, 27 years old (yo) at last examination, 14-year follow-up (F/U) PT2, F, 15-yo PT3, M, 15-yo, both 1-year F/U] underwent eye exams, Goldmann visual fields (GVFs), dark- (DA) and light-adapted (LA) electroretinograms (ERGs), spectral domain optical...

diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (dgat1) has been introduced as a strong potential candidate gene for milk fat content in cattle. dgat1 gene plays a key role in the final step of triglyceride synthesis. in this study, the genetic variability in the region spanning exon 1 to exon 2 of the buffalo dgat1 gene was investigated by dna sequencing. two hundred buffaloes belonging to three indigenous po...

Title of dissertation: Effect of Aggregate Inhomogeneity on Mechanical Properties of Asphalt Mixtures Haleh Azari, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Richard McCuen Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Vertical and radial inhomogeneity of asphalt mixture components in laboratoryfabricated specimens have been of concern in asphalt mixture testing because ...

Background segmentation is a general technique that aims at detecting the moving objects in a sequence of continuous scenes or video stream by separating the non-moving background from the moving foreground object. The success and weakness of a foreground and/or background segmentation method depends on several external factors such as the scene selection, lighting, and weather conditions. Henc...

Background: Pregnancy is associated with many emotional, physical, and social changes in women’s lives which may have an effect on the outcomes of pregnancy, so identifying moderating factors such as social support may have a preventing role on unintended outcomes of pregnancy. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between social support with anxiety, d...
