Background: Radon and its short-lived decay products are considered as the important sources of public exposure to natural radioactivity. The synergistic interaction between tobacco smoking and radon is known to be an actual problem. This study has provided a mathematical description and prognosis of the carcinogenic effects after combined action of radon with smoking. Materials and Me...

mixed infection of plants with more than one virus results in different types of interactions. interaction between two recently identified lettuce infecting viruses in iran, lettuce x potexvirus (levx) and rubus chlorotic mottle sobemovirus (rucmv), was studied on co-infected chenopodium murale and chenopodium quinoa plants. plants were mechanically inoculated with either levx, rucmv or both. c...

laboratory-scale experiments were conducted to evaluate the joint action toxicity and biochemicaleffects of sublethal concentrations of forcados light crude oil (flco) and three dispersants against clariasgariepinus over a period of 28 days. the derived 96hrlc50 values revealed that the dispersant, ds/tt/066(0.03ml/l) was the most toxic, followed by dispersant, oc/tt/osi (0.19ml/l), flco (5.06m...

objective(s): to evaluate the in vitro interaction between different extracts of thymbra spicata l. and certain antimicrobial drugs of different mechanisms, including ampicillin, cefotaxime, amikacin and ciprofloxacin. this study was performed against multidrug-resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus and klebsiella pneumoniae. materials and methods: evaluation of antibacterial activity and s...

Background and Aims: Candida albicans (C. albicans) is the most common opportunistic human pathogen. Therapeutic options for Candida infections are limited to available antifungal drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fluconazole/clotrimazole (FLU/CLT) on C. albicans hyphae formation. Materials and Methods: We have established the effectiveness of the combination of FL...
