ancylostoma tubaeforme was originally described as a separate species parasitizing the cat. the adults of a. tubaeforme are 7 to 12 mm long. a. tubaeforme can be differentiated from the adults of a. braziliense and a. ceylanicum by the presence of three teeth. here we describe the first re­port of a. tubaeforme in a persian young female leopard, 2-3 years old, with head and trunk length 120 cen...

The future of aviation depends on reducing the environmental impact aircraft. Unconventional configurations can be change industry needs to achieve that goal. Therefore, development a tool allows analyzing these will contribute their being considered more easily in designs. This design procedure is based an aerodynamic model and weight methodology validated for unconventional tail load cases se...

Abstract Previous studies have suggested that arsenic crosses the placenta and affects fetus development. The study under consideration aims to show comparative ameliorative effect of Moringa oleifera leaf flower extracts against sodium arsenate induced toxicity mice. Pregnant mice (N=44) were kept in lab divided into eleven group from (A K) orally administered doses 6 mg/kg, 12 mg/kg for arsen...

to determine the protein polymorphism of ovine transferrin association with carcass economic traits in makoei, blood samples of 576 (male and female) lambs with two types of venoject (edta anticoagulant containing and non-anticoagulant containing). plasma and serum were then separated and kept in the central laboratory of animal science depaartment in karaj at -20°c. the research was conducted ...

The hip joint is one of the major structures in the human body and the resultant force acting through the hip joint is 300% of body weight. Therefore, weight bearing, as a cause of ischaemia, may contribute to the development of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). However, it remains unclear whether weight bearing is related to the development of non-traumatic ONFH. Therefor...

The Morey-Holton hindlimb unloading (HU) method is a widely accepted National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) ground-based model for studying disuse-atrophy in rodents. Our study evaluated an alternant method to the gold-standard Morey-Holton HU tail-traction technique in mice. Fifty-four female mice (4-8 mo.) were HU for 14 days (n=34) or 28 days (n=20). Recovery from HU was assess...
