background: we aimed to evaluate effect of euphorbia royleana exposure on histocytology of corpuscles of stannius in fish, heteropneustes fossilis. methods: fish were subjected to 2.47 mg/l and 0.618 mg/l of e. royleana for short-term and long-term exposure, respectively. blood samples were collected on 24, 48, 72 and 96 h in short-term and after 7, 14, 21, and 28 d in long-term experiment and ...

Sample entropy (SampEn) is a nonlinear regularity index that requires the a priori selection of three parameters: the length of the sequences to be compared, m, the patterns similarity tolerance, r, and the number of samples under analysis, N. Appropriate values for m, r and N have been recommended and widely used in the literature for the application of SampEn to some physiological time series...

The reaction of the carcinogenic electrophile Af-acetoxy-4acetylaminostilbene with methionine at neutral pH yielded /î-methylmercapto-4-acetylaminostilbene as the major product and 3-methylmercapto-4-acetylaminostilbene as a minor prod uct. Two other products were also formed. One of these had the apparent molecular weight (283) of a methylmercapto-4acetylaminostilbene; it was not identical wi...

atrial fibrillation (af) is a commonly encountered arrhythmia in our daily practice. every year a huge bulk of data is published about different management strategies, new antiarrhythmic drugs, anticoagulation protocols and ablation procedures in these patients. in this review article, we discuss different management strategies and new antiarrhythmic drugs as well as those commonly used. we wil...

introduction: today, investigators pay attention to natural fluids (such as follicular and amniotic fluid) to use them as a medium or a supplement. using human amniotic fluid (haf) in some researches, not only improved in vitro development of preimplantation embryos but also significantly increased percentage of pregnancy. on the contrary, gianaroli et al. have claimed there was no significant ...

D espite atrial fibrillation (AF) being the most common cardiac arrhythmia, its asymptomatic (and sometimes, paroxysmal) nature makes subsequent detection and diagnosis challenging. Ischemic stroke as a result of AF is usually more severe and results in greater functional loss, and patients with undetected AF will undoubtedly by at greater risk of recurrent stroke. The failure to diagnose AF af...

we are presenting a case illustrating atrial fibrillation (af) following the use of methylprednisolone in a patient with pelvic and femur fracture. a 48- year- old man with no significant past medical history, was admitted to the emergency department after injury in a car accident. he suffered a multiple bone fracture with chief complaints of pain and shortness of breath. he was transferred to ...
