Of 14 clinical trials of ascorbic acid in the prevention and treatment of the common cold, the data from 8 were considered well enough gathered to be creditable and to warrant combining for an over-all assessment of efficacy. Differences in mean prorated numbers of colds per year and durations of illness were 0.09 plus or minus 0.06 (plus or minus 1 standard error) and 0.11 plus or minus 0.24, ...

It has been reported that inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) gene variants protect against ribavirin-induced anemia in patients treated for chronic hepatitis C. IL28B variants also influence the treatment response of peginterferon plus ribavirin treatment in these patients. In the present study, we examined how ITPA and IL28B genotypes have clinical impacts on treatment-induced hematotoxicities and ...

A graph H is an induced minor of a graph G if it can be obtained from an induced subgraph of G by contracting edges. Otherwise, G is said to be H-induced minor-free. Robin Thomas showed that K4-induced minor-free graphs are well-quasi-ordered by induced minors [Graphs without K4 and well-quasi-ordering, Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 38(3):240 – 247, 1985]. We provide a dichotomy th...

the subcutaneous inoculation of 16 white mice and 10 golden hamsters with l.tropica major resulted in the development of leishmanial lesions in all, becoming generalized in some.two of 10 hamsters inoculated intraperitoneally with this parasite developed generalized lesions. on the other hand, the inoculation of l. tropica minor to 128 mice subcutaneously and 170 mice intraperitoneally did not ...

combination therapy with clomiphene citrate plus gonadotropin (clomiphene citrate plus hmg) in induction ovulation reduce the gonadotropins dose but antiestrogenic effect of c.c. can decrease pregnancy rate. in a randomized clinical trial we compared 3 treatment protocol for induction ovulation and intra uterine insemination (i/o plus iui) in women with infertility history more than one year, n...

I read the recently published article in Vol 6 (3) of Basic and Clinical Neuroscience entitled “Study the Effect of Endocannabinoid System on Rat Behavior in Elevated Plus- Maze” by Komaki et al. (2015). In this valuable article, the authors uncovered the effects of AM251 as a CB1 receptor antagonist on anxiety-like behaviors of rats using elevated plus-maze

The objective of this trial was to compare Katagon (tolpyralate/nicosulfuron) standard treatments for weed control in corn. plus atrazine applied early postemergence as effective any herbicide tested on the weeds present. When application timing delayed late postemergence, most herbicides were less effective. Early season corn injury minor and did not persist. Although increased yields relative...

greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the response of wheat to tank mixture of herbicides with insecticide and manure in ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment consisted of 8 treatments: 1- tribenuron methyl (15-20 g ha-1) + clodinafop propargyl (0.8 l ha-1) 2- tribenuron methyl + clodinafop propargyl + fenitrotion (1.2 l ha-1) + librel (1 kg ha-1) 3- tribenuron methyl + c...
