Extra-hepatic fascioliasis with peritoneal malignancy tumor feature

Fascioliasis is a zoonose parasitic disease caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica and is widespread in most regions of the world. Ectopic fascioliasis usually caused by juvenile Fasciola spp., but in recent years a few cases of tissue-embedded ova have been reported from different endemic areas. A 79-year-old Iranian man resident in Eird-e-Mousa village from Ardabil Province, north-west of Iran, complained with abdominal pain, nausea, and intestinal obstruction symptoms referred to Ardabil Fatemi hospital. In laparotomy multiple intestinal masses with peritoneal seeding resembling of a malignant lesion were seen. After appendectomy and peritoneal mass biopsy with numerous intraperitoneal adenopathy, paraffin embedded blocks were prepared from each tissues. A blood sample was taken from the patient 5 months later for serological diagnosis. Histopathological examination of sections showed fibrofatty stroma with dense mixed inflammatory cells infiltration and fibrosis in peritoneal masses. Large numbers of ova of Fasciola spp. were noted with typical circumscribed granulomas. Despite of anti-fasciola treatment, IHA test for detecting anti F. hepatica antibodies was positive 5 months after surgery with a titer of 1/128. Due to multiple clinical manifestation of extra-hepatic fascioliasis, its differential diagnosis from intraperitoneal tumors or other similar diseases should be considered

Sentinel hospital-based surveillance of Rotavirus diarrhea in Iran

Background. Rotavirus is the most common causes of severe, acute diarrhea during childhood and is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. We established active hospital-based surveillance of childhood diarrhea to assess the scope of severe rotavirus disease in Iran. Methods. From May 2006 through April 2007, prospective surveillance of rotavirus diarrhea among children aged <5 years was conducted in 5 sentinel hospitals in Iran. Stool samples were tested for rotavirus using a commercially available enzyme immunoassay, and rotavirus-positive samples were genotyped using reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Results. Of 2198 children admitted to the hospital for acute gastroenteritis, 1298 (59.1%) had stool samples test positive for rotavirus by enzyme immunoassay. Of the rotavirus episodes, 85% occurred during the first 2 years of life, with the peak prevalence of severe rotavirus disease occurring from September through January. Among the 110 rotavirus-positive samples that were genotyped, G4P[8] was the most commonly detected rotavirus genotype (30.9% of strains). Other commonly detected genotypes included P[8] with G nontypeable (21.8%), G4 with P nontypeable (13.6%), G1[P8] (10.9%), and G2[P4] (5.5%). Conclusions. Rotavirus is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in Iran, which indicates that safe and effective rotavirus vaccination in Iran is a public health priority. © 2009 by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

Effect of zinc from zinc sulfate on trace mineral concentrations of milk in Varamini ewes

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding supplemental zinc (zinc sulfate) in different levels (15, 30, or 45 mg/kg) on trace mineral concentrations in milk of ewes. Thirty lactating Varaminniewes were assigned to three experimental groups according to their live body weights, milk production and lambs sex in a completely randomized design. Ewes were fed a basal diet containing alfalfa, wheat straw, cottonseed meal, barley grain, wheat bran, cracked corn and vitamin-mineral supplements at 3.2% of body weight (BW) to meet NRC requirements for protein, energy and macro minerals. The basaldiet contained 15 mg/kg Zn and zinc sulfate was added to the basal diet to supply 30 or 45 mg/kg of dietary zinc. Daily milk yielded was recorded at 7 days intervals and samples of the milk were taken once per week for determination of milk composition and trace mineral concentration. Concentrations of Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe in milk were determined. Dry matter intake (DMI), milk yield and milk compositions were not affected by supplemental zinc (P > 0.05). But zinc concentrations in milk were affected by supplemental zinc (P 0.05). It suggests that supplementation of ewes diet with zinc sulfate could be an effective way to increase zinc concentration in milk when zinc concentration of basal diets is limited for ewes in lactation period

Effect of dietary cation-anion balance on milk production and blood mineral of Holstein cows during the last two months of pregnancy

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of three diets with different cation-anion differences ((DCAD: mEq[(Na + K) − (Cl + S)]/100 g of dry matter)) in far-off and close-up period, on milk production and blood mineral of Holstein cows. Eighteen pregnant cows (220 - 225 d) were fed a base diet with three DCAD (+13 (control), 0, −13/100 g dry matter) for 60 ± 5 days. Control diet consisted of 170 g/kg corn silage, 396 g/kg alfalfa hay and 424 g/kg concentrate mix (dry matter basis). For decrease DCAD, two anionic salts such as ammonium chloride and ammonium sulphate were used. Production of milk and 3.5% fat corrected milk (FCM) were increased with decreasing DCAD. However, milk composition and yield of milk fat, protein and lactose were not affected by diets containing +13, 0 and −13 DCAD. In addition, prepartum dry matter intake, BCS change and body weight gains were similar for cows fed the three diets with different cation-anion differences. At calving, plasma calcium concentration was 6.55, 6.46 and 6.78 mg/dl for cows fed diets containing +13, 0 and −13 DCAD, respectively. Blood pH and concentration of K, Mg and Na were not affected by dietary cation-anion balance. Urinary pH of cows was affected by diets and was decreased linearly with decreasing DCAD. The mean urinary pH was 7.99, 6.81 and 6.11 for cows fed diets containing +13, 0 and −13 DCAD, respectively.Keywords: Metabolic disorders, pregnant cow, anionic saltsAfrican Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 9(36), pp. 5983-5988, 6 September, 201

A 10 Year Survey on Childhood CNS Tumors

AbstractObjectiveTumors of the central nervous system constitute the largest group of solid neoplasms in children and are second only to leukemia in their overall frequency during childhood. The main purpose of the present study is to determine the incidence, age, sex, location and histological diagnosis of CNS tumors in children, less than 15 years of age, in the Mofid Children's Hospital, in the past 10 years. Materials and MethodsIn this descriptive retrospective study we reviewed the medical records of 143 children with diagnosis of CNS tumors admitted during the past 10 years in neurology and surgery departments of Mofid Children's Hospital between the years 1996 and 2006.ResultsDuring the 10 year study period, CNS tumor was diagnosed in 143 patients; of these tumors, 119 were intracranial and 58 were intraspinal; 51.3% of brain tumors were located in the supratentorial and 48.7% in the infratentorial regions. The most common intracranial neoplasms were astrocytic tumors (36.8%), embryonal tumors (31.1%) and ependymal tumors (13.4%). Of the intraspinal neoplasms the most frequently noted were embryonal tumors(37.5%), mesenchymal meningothelial tumors (20.8%), followed by astrocytic tumors (16.7%). The median age at diagnosis was 8.9 ± 4.1 years with a male to female ratio of 1.4:1 (PConclusionBrain tumors in children constitute a diverse group in terms of incidence,distribution and histopathological diagnosis.

Designing Tangghe’ Bull Racing to Effort Revitalize Culture Non-Violent Karapan Sapi

The results of the research show that, in the effort to revitalize the Tangghe’ bull racing culture, there must be a deliberate attempt to eliminate the stereotype of violence often associated with Karapan Sapi cultural events. This can be done by discontinuing the use of rekeng (whips) and by encouraging the government to take firm action in establishing regulations that prohibit the torture and mistreatment of racing bulls. Essentially, Karapan Sapi is a traditional folk celebration held after the harvest season, not a spectacle of cruelty. The study also found that the revitalization efforts in Langsar Village should focus on preserving the sociocultural, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical aspects of the tradition. Moreover, the modern practice of Tangghe’ bull racing should not be reduced to a mere competitive sport, as this could lead to a shift in cultural values. The revitalization process must begin with several key stages: preparation, investigation, transformation, regulation, establishment, testing, and implementation. The results indicate a positive response from the local community, with the average response score of (4), meaning that most people agree with the idea of preserving the Tangghe’ bull racing culture without violence.Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan dalam upaya merevitalisi budaya karapan sapi tangghe’ harus dilakukan suatu upaya pengghilangan stereotype kekerasan yang dilakukan pada kegiatan kebudayaan karapan sapi dengan pemberhentian penggunaan rekeng dan pemerintah harus berani bersikap tegas membuat aturan untuk melarang penyiksaan dan kekerasan pada sapi karapan, karena sejatinya kebudayaan sapi karapan hanya ajang pesta rakyat setelah masa panen selesai. Dan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwasanya upaya dala me revitalisasi budaya karapan sapi tangghe’ di desa langsar yaitu dengan mempertahankan aspek sosial budaya, sosial ekonomi, dan sosial politik, dan juga jangan pernah menjadikan kebudayaan karapan sapi tangghek yang sekarang berubah menjadi kebudayaan yang menjadi ajang perombaan, yang mana nanti akan berakibat pada pergeseran nilai budaya, dan harus dimulai dengan tahap persiapan, penyelidikan, transformasi, aturan, penetapan, pengujian dan implementasi yang mana pada hasil diatas mendapat respon yang baik dari masyarakat dibuktikan dengan hasil rata rata jawaban mendapat skor (4) yang artinya rata rata msyarakat setuju untuk tetap melestarikan budaya karapan sapi tangghe’ tanpa kekerasan

Stator winding fault detection of induction generator based wind turbine using ANN

This paper presents a stator winding faults detection in induction generator based wind turbines by using artificial neural network (ANN). Stator winding faults of induction generators are the most common fault found in wind turbines. This fault may lead to wind turbine failure. Therefore, fault detection in induction generator based wind turbines is vital to increase the reliability of wind turbines. In this project, the mathematical model of induction generator based wind turbine was developed in MATLAB Simulink. The value of impedance in the induction generators was changed to simulate the inter-turn short circuit and open circuit faults. The simulated responses of the induction generators were used as inputs in the ANN model for fault detection procedures. A set of data was taken under different conditions, i.e. normal condition, inter-turn short circuit and open circuit faults as inputs for the ANN model. The target outputs of the ANN model were set as ‘0’ or ‘1’, based on the fault conditions. Results obtained showed that the ANN model can detect different types of faults based on the output values of the ANN model. In conclusion, the stator winding faults detection procedure for induction generator based wind turbines by using ANN was successfully developed

Study of genetic diversity in sunflower promising inbred lines using morphological traits

One of the most important factors in breeding programs advancement is the evaluation and quantification of genetic diversity in breeding population. In the preparation of pre-breeding population and hybrid production, selection of convenient parents that are efficiently distant, is so important. In order to precise description for the sunflower genetic stocks of the Oilseed Department (Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran), morphological traits and oil percentage of 49 promising inbred lines including 18 R-lines and 31 B-lines were studied using sunflower descriptor. These lines were planted based on a simple Lattice (7 x 7) design with 2 checks in 2005. Results of ANOVA revealed significant differences between the lines for almost all traits. Relationships between quantitative and quantitative traits, qualitative and quantitative traits and qualitative and qualitative traits were calculated, using correlation analysis, ANOVA and chi square method, respectively. Results showed that there is a negative correlation between oil percentage and 100 seed weight. Classification of lines based on cluster analysis grouped the lines in to two distinct male and female groups. Factor analysis, extracted 4 factors that altogether comprised 73.92% of total variation in data. Biplot analysis based on the first two principle components clearly separated male and female lines. According to these findings Heterotic plausible groups were suggested for future crosses and hybrid assessment
