Cancer and Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the two most prominent causes of death worldwide. Emerging evidence indicates shared risk factors and a common biology between these diseases. For instance, chronic inflammation has a significant role in contributing to both diseases. An alteration of the vasculature and the endothelial cells plays a key role in pathogenesis of CVD and cancer. The widespread...
Surface waxes from wax-covered triticale plants (RAH 122) were sprayed on plants of the waxless genotype RAH 366 or the surface waxes were used to make artificial diet preparations. The results were significant increases in the mortality of apterous adults of the grain aphid Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) at all concentrations tested in comparison with those aphids which fed on...
We report the first case of chafer beetle [Anisoplia austriaca (Herbst 1783)] mortality caused by Actinomucor elegans var. elegans in wheat fields of the Kurdistan province, Iran. For three years, dead larvae of Anisoplia austriaca were collected from wheat fields of the Kurdistan province. Similar isolates of a fast-growing fungus were recovered from all samples. The fungal isolates were identified...
Arsenic (As) is a metalloid that causes severe water pollution due to its extravagant toxicity. Ceriodaphnia dubia, a freshwater crustacean, was selected as a model system to evaluate the degree of time and dosage dependent acute toxicity caused by pentavalent As [As(V)]. C. dubia were collected from a natural pond and treated with different concentrations of As(V) for 24 hours and 48 hours. For both...

Magnesium (Mg2+) plays a key role in many essential cellular processes such as intermediary metabolism, DNA replication and repair, transporting potassium and calcium ions, cell proliferation together with signalling transduction. Dietary sources rich in magnesium are whole and unrefined grains, seeds, cocoa, nuts, almonds and green leafy vegetables. Hard water is also considered to be an important...
Background. Premature mortality in younger age groups influences the society as far as social and economic aspects are concerned. Therefore, it is important to come up with a tool which will allow to assess them, and will enable to implement only these health care measures that bring tangible benefits. That is the reason for introducing PYLL rate (PYLL - potential years of life lost), which is an...
Celem pracy była ocena wpływu odmiany barwnej i wieku na niektóre wskaźniki użytkowości rozrodczej norek. Analizowano: wielkość miotu, liczbę żywo urodzonych i odchowanych młodych z jednego miotu, śmiertelność młodych w okresie odchowu przy matkach, długość ciąży i diapauzy. Odmiana barwna oraz wiek miały statystyczny wpływ na wszystkie omawiane wskaźniki rozrodu norek. Wielkość miotu, liczba żywo...
