results first needle placement without imaging resulted in blood return in 1/199 participants and positive epidurography in 179/199 (90%). minimal needle repositioning resulted in a positive epidurogram in the remaining 19 attempts. no intravascular injection patterns were observed. conclusions this compares favorably to published success rates of fluoroscopically-guided technique and was well ...

Bovine genital campylobacteriosis is one of the most economically important diseases of dairy cattleresulting in lowered fertility, embryo mortality and abortion, repeated returns to service, reduced pregnancyrates and extended calving intervals. While the occurrence of repeat breeding syndrome and abortions arereported from many Iranian dairy cattle farms, little information is available regar...

HIGHLIGHTS A Feature extraction technique is proposed which extracts 120 features from Corona virus genome sequences. classification accuracy of 97.96% achieved for a dataset with 1000 samples seven strains The most repeat pattern “TTGTT” identified in COVID-19 sequence.

background: routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. we figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not.   methods : we examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white b...

the present study was designed to investigate the impact of applying fill-in-the-map and construct-a-map techniques on efl learners’ knowledge of tenses. to this end, sixty efl elementary female students, who were selected based on their performance on a standardized teacher-made proficiency test, were randomly assigned into two equal experimental and control groups. in order to be convinced of...

A developmental validation study based on recommendations of the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM) was conducted on a multiplex system of 10 Cannabis sativa short tandem repeat loci. Amplification of the loci in four multiplex reactions was tested across DNA from dried root, stem, and leaf sources, and DNA from fresh, frozen, and dried leaf tissue with a template DNA ran...

background: expansion of gaa trinucleotide repeats is the molecular basis of friedreich’s ataxia (frda). precise detection of the gaa expansion repeat in frataxin gene has always been a challenge. different molecular methods have been suggested for detection of gaa expansion, including; short-pcr, long-pcr, triplet repeat primed-pcr (tp-pcr) and southern blotting. the aim of study was to evalua...

A short tandem repeat multiplex assay has been successfully developed with 25 autosomal loci plus the sex-typing locus amelogenin for a total of 26 amplified products in a single reaction. Primers for the loci were designed so that all of the amplicons present were distributed from 65 base pairs (bp) to less than 400 bp within a five-dye chemistry design with the fifth dye reserved for the sizi...
