abstract background: primary hyperparathyroidism is autonomous production of parathyroid hormone. after removal of adenoma, one of the surgeons concern is postoperative hypocalcaemia. there is no precise method to determine if patients have hypocalcaemia postoperatively. the purpose of this study was to determine the relation between parathyroid adenoma weights, postoperative serum calcium and ...

objective(s): buthionine sulfoximine (bso) inhibits synthesis of glutathione as the main intracellular antioxidant. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of bso-induced oxidative stress on histological structure of testis, testosterone secretion and semen parameters. materials and methods: thirty male balb/c mice were divided into 3 groups. in control group, the mice did not...

results loss of consciousness (gcs drop or amnesia) was markedly associated with abnormal brain ct scan (p < 0.05). interestingly, we found 7 patients with normal clinical examination but significant abnormal brain ct scan. conclusions according to the results of our study, we recommend that all patients with minor head trauma underwent brain ct scan in order not to miss any life-threatening he...

the genetic diversity among 56 almond (prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. out of 35 simple sequence repeats (ssrs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. r...

nuclear markers such as microsatellites have allowed the identification of conservation and management populations of the hawksbill turtles. in present study, eight microsatellite loci were studied. 60 samples of hawksbill turtles. flipper from shidvar and hormuz islands have been surgically removed and preserved in 20% dmso buffer. dna was extracted using dnp kit and amplified by pcr methods. ...
