Case Report. A 71-year-old man was admitted to the department of gastroenterology with diffuse abdominal pain. Through the previous 12 months, the patient had experienced episodes of vomiting and watery diarrhea of increasing intensity as well as weight loss. The patient was evaluated with ultrasound, MRI, and subsequently a capsule endoscopy. Six months later, the patient presented, and an abd...

Flowering time, growth, and opium gum yield from five seed sources (T, L, B1, B2, B3) of opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) collected from different latitudes in three Southeast Asian countries were determined. Plants were grown in six growth chambers at a 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, 15-, or 16-hour photoperiod with a 12-hour, 25/20 °C thermoperiod. Flower initiation was observed under a dissecting mi...

Phentermine/topiramate extended-release capsules (Qsymia) for weight loss.

objective: zinc is the second main element in the body after iron. its importance in pregnancy is related to role in dna and protein synthesis and consequently the necessity of its availability for the appropriate growth and development of the fetus and neonate. the purpose of this study was to assess the effect of zinc supplement on fetal outcomes (height, weight, head and chest circumference ...

recently, biofertilizer application is growing to meet sustainable agriculture goals. the present experiment was designed to evaluate four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 90 and 120 kg n.ha-1) as main plots, two supernitroplus biofertilizer levels) with and without biofertilizer) as sub-plots on yield and yield components of three sesame cultivars (naz, oltan and varamin (as sub-sub-plots in a split-sp...

salinity of water and soil in arid and semi arid regions restricts the growth and yield of crops such as sesame. in order to evaluate yield and yield components of 43 lines and ecotypes of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) under saline condition (ec of irrigation water, 5.2 ds m-1) an experiment was carried out in randomize complete block design with three replications at salinity research station of...

The present study was conducted to determine the correlation coefficients among seed yield and contributing characters in 65 genotypes of sesame. per plant recorded significant positive association with capsule length (cm), height number capsules, seeds 1000- weight (g) oil content (%) at both phenotypic genotypic levels. As correlations analysis, it is concluded that, selection for these can b...

The mode of agronomic traits inheritance was investigated in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in drought stress as a new report. Five generation including P1, P2, F1, F2 and F3 that derived from the cross of IL.111 (drought sensitive) ×Mex.22-191 (drought tolerance) were used in a randomized complete block design with two replic...

The mass variation test is a simplified alternative test version of the content uniformity test. In the case of coating tablets and capsules, the mass variation test is principally applied to test the inner cores or fillings containing the active ingredient. However, some exceptions exist in pharmacopoeias. The effects of tablet coating and capsule shell on the results of the mass variation tes...
