BACKGROUND Despite long-standing iodine supplementation in Iran, the prevalence of goiter remains high in some areas. This suggests other nutritional deficiencies may be considered as responsible factors for goiter persistence. In the present study we investigated the possible role of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) and low vitamin A status in the etiology of endemic goiter in Semirom, Iran. MATER...

- Finding the most important medicinal herbs in Semirom. - Determination of major diseases in Semirom. - Determination of medicinal herb successes on diseases treatment. This study was a measuremental study in 2002 based on filled questionnaire distributed among the Semirom people. - 30 regional species of medicinal herbs have been found for remediation of diseases. - More than 80 percent of Se...

Water stress may affect the growth, physiology, morphology, biochemistry, and productivity of Nigella sativa (black cumin), a medicinal aromatic plant. Measuring these parameters under various irrigation regimes could provide useful information for successful genotype selection breeding. Therefore, agronomically significant features were evaluated in ten black cumin genotypes (Afghanistan, Paki...

BACKGROUND Iodine deficiency produces the spectrum of iodine deficiency disorders (IDDs) including endemic goiter, hypothyroidism, cretinism and congenital anomalies. Other factors, including goitrogens and micronutrient deficiencies may influence the prevalence and severity of IDDs and response to iodine supplementation. An association between zinc and goiter has previously been reported. ME...

Communities are concerned with the role of durable pesticides and their carry over effect in food chains. Accordingly, the recognition and measurement of chemical compounds in food, environment and living bodies is necessary. In this study, which dated from October 2010 to March 2011, deltamethrin toxin residues in sugar beets were investigated in the cities of Isfahan province including: Isfah...

abstract this experiment was conducted to study the effect of south-west climatic conditions on quantitative and qualitative of fatty acids in dog rose (rosa canina l.) seeds collected from five regions including: semirom (isfahan province), kiar and gerdbishe (charmahal and bakhtiari province), yasuj and meymand (kohgiluye and boyer ahmad province). oil was extracted using soxhlet apparatus; t...

one section of the tarbur formation (462 m thickness) located about 5 km southwest of semirom was studied. it consists of carbonate and terrigenous rocks and contains abundant large benthic foraminifera assigned to the late maastrichtian. in the upper maastrichtian, loftusia is very abundant in carbonate sequence of the middle east tethyan realm. loftusia is an important genus for palaeontologi...
