conclusions: using these factors, nephrologists may predict the occurrence of graft loss or death. if the probability of graft loss was higher, physicians can decrease the immunosuppressive medications dosage to decrease the incidence of graft loss. patients and methods: fine-gray model was used for 266 cases with post-transplant malignancy in iran. these patients were followed-up from the diag...

Abstract I n this paper, the behavior of the real oil price and OPEC and non-OPEC oil production during 1973-2013 are modelled. Interactions among OPEC, non-OPEC oil production, global oil consumption, and the real price of crude oil are estimated using a Structural VAR model (SVAR). After providing evidence for the structural breaks in oil price in 1996, the results indicate that, ac...

objective(s) in the present study, the differences in the relaxant effects of aqueous, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of rosa damascena on tracheal smooth muscle of guinea pigs were examined. materials and methods the relaxant effects of three cumulative concentrations of each fraction (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 g%) in comparison with saline and three cumulative concentrations of theophylline (0....

The approximate LD30 and cumulative effect of 4 bufadienolides, isolated from Cotyledon orbiculata, were determined in guinea-pigs. Two of the bufadienolides proved to be mildly cumulative. One of the mildly cumulative bufadienolides induced subacute intoxication with some signs of krimpsiekte when injected intravenously into a sheep over 13 days. In the sheep, the paralysis was accompanied by ...

soil infiltration characteristics affect the design, evaluation and management of furrow irrigation over afield. on the other hand, different variables influence furrow infiltration, making infiltration modeling for afield a complex process. this study was conducted to investigate the direct and indirect effects of allvariables affecting furrow infiltration. the blocked furrow method was used t...
