OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of parental military service-related exposures and rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) risk in offspring using data from a large case-control study of childhood RMS. STUDY DESIGN Cases (n = 319) were enrolled from the third trial run by the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group. Population-based controls (n = 319) were pair-matched to cases on race, sex, and age. Condition...

The bioactivity of Israeli Jaffa blond (Shamouti) fresh orange and Israeli Jaffa red Star Ruby (Sunrise) grapefruit juices was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The contents of bioactive compounds of these juices were determined. The influence of bioactive compounds on plasma lipids and plasma antioxidant activity in rats fed cholesterol-containing and cholesterol-free diets was assessed. Sign...

22 23 2 SUMMARY 23 Citrus exocortis viroid (CEVd) populations are composed by closely related 24 haplotypes whose frequencies in the population result from the equilibrium 25 between mutation, selection and genetic drift. The genetic diversity of CEVd 26 populations infecting different citrus hosts was studied by comparing 27 populations recovered from infected trifoliate orange and sour orange...

in this experiment, physiological responses of two citrus rootstocks [sour orange (citrus aurantium l.) and trifoliate orange (poncirus trifoliata raf.)] were investigated under in vitro salt stress conditions. this study was conducted on a completely randomized factorial design. explants (nucellar seedling obtained from seeds) of both rootstocks were transferred to murashige and skoog (ms) sol...

In vitro growth of explant (juice vesicle or albedo tissues) cultures from citron (Citrus medica), lemon (C. limon), grapefruit (C. paradisi), sweet orange (C. sinensis), and mandarin (C. reticulata) fruits was stimulated by addition of orange juice (10% v/v optimum) to a basal medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 50 grams per liter sucrose, 100 milligrams per liter myo-inositol, 5 mill...

INTRODUCTION: Micronuclei (MN) are microscopically visible round or oval cytoplasmic chromatin masses in the extra nuclear vicinity, originating from aberrant mitosis, chromatic fragments or whole chromosomes. The local factors like smoking exerts an influence on oral mucosa cells which are reflected as cellular changes resulting in the formation of MN. AIM: To evaluate and compare the MN index...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Water resources pollution control is one of the main challenges of our time for researchers. Colored wastewater discharges caused by textile industry activities has added to the concern. In this study, removal of Acid Orange 7 dye (AO7) using Kenya Tea residue absorbent (granular) has been studied. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016. In this work, init...

ABSTRACT Phytophthora nicotianae and P. palmivora infect and cause rot of fibrous roots of susceptible and tolerant citrus rootstocks in Florida orchards. The infection and colonization by the two Phytophthora spp. of a susceptible citrus host, sour orange (Citrus aurantium), and a tolerant host, trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata), were compared using light and electron microscopy. Penetra...
