in this study, a new and valuable forage source was introduced with combination and silage of alfa-alfa, halocnemum and mesquite via chemical, gas production and in vivo methods. to perform this research, first the right amounts of the species were collected. then they were cut by chopper to the dimensions of less than 5 cm. then, halocnemum, mesquite fruit, alfalfa and molasses were silaged ac...

BACKGROUND One of the features associated with pre-eclampsia is elevated liver transaminases. The reason this happens has not been fully described. However, the hepatocytes are not known to be spared by free radical injury. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between product of free radical injury (malondialdehyde) and transaminases in pre-eclamptic women. PATIENTS AND METHOD...

PURPOSE CA 125 was evaluated in the sera of patients with aggressive NHL, together with LDH and β2m, in a trial to assess its value in the diagnosis and follow-up, and to compare it to some prognostic factors. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 78 newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (DLBCL), with age range 18-60 years, and a WHO performance status of...

In this study, the effects of raw material and alkali activator properties on compressive strength geopolymer pastes were investigated. Class F fly ash (FA) blast furnace slag (S) used as materials in paste samples. The (100U, 80U-20Y, 60U-40Y, 40U-60Y, 20U-80Y, 100Y) activated using Na2SiO3 NaOH (8, 10, 12 14 M). All samples cured under laboratory conditions until test day. values 7 28th days ...

several studies have assessed association between helicobacter pylori infection and thrombotic ischemic stroke. this study was designed to investigate the association between this organism and ischemic strokes. antibody against h. pylori (hp igg) was measured in 81 patients with stroke and 43 subjects without stroke. hp igg titer more than 20u/ml was defined as positive. 67.4% of control subjec...

P waves from regional-distance earthquakes are complex and reverberatory, as would be expected from a combination of head waves, post-critical crustal reflections and shallow-incident P waves from the upper mantle. Although designed for steeply-incident teleseismic P waves, receiver functions (RFs) can also retrieve information about crustal structure from regional P. Using a new computation me...

INTRODUCTION Sleep disorders presenting involuntary movements may be very annoying to patients, apart from their negative influence on sleep. OBJECTIVE To report the use of botulinum type-A toxin (BoNT-A) to manage the case of a patient whose sleep was severely disrupted by episodes of dystonic posturing of the right lower limb triggered by periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS). METHOD A ...

This study tested the following hypotheses: 1. increasing light irradiation time (IT) produces greater values of superficial hardness on different depths (0 and 3 mm); and 2. a dark shade composite (A3) needs longer IT than a light shade composite (A1) to produce similar hardness. Disk-shaped specimens (n=24 per shade) were fabricated using a 3-mm-thick increment of composite resin (Z100). Spec...
