objective: to compare the maternal and umbilical cord serum selenium concentrations in low and normal birth weight neonates. materials and methods: a case-control study was carried out in vali-asr and akbarabadi hospitals (jan. to dec. 2013). two groups; case group; 91 mothers who delivered a low birth weight (lbw) neonate and control group; 86 subjects who delivered a normal birth weight neona...

X-linked agamaglobulinemia (XLA) or Bruton’s disease is a genetic disease resulting from a mutation in the Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (Btk) gene. This mutation leads to B cell arrest during differentiation (1). This disease was first described by Ogden Bruton in 1952 (2). Approximately 85% of the affected subjects are male (3). This disorder is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. Carrier fe...

We present an investigation of the excited-state structural parameters determined for a large set of small compounds with the dual goals of defining reference values for further works and assessing the quality of the geometries obtained with relatively cheap computational approaches. In the first stage, we compare the excited-state geometries obtained with ADC(2), CC2, CCSD, CCSDR(3), CC3, and ...
