Postoperative septic complications of hemorrhoids surgical interventions are rare, but very serious with high mortality rate. Early diagnosis and prompt therapy are essential to save patient's life. There are a good number of articles and case reports about these...

Nitrogen fixation and delayed leaf senescence in soybeans.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Abu-Shakra SS, Phillips DA, Huffaker RC.
PMID: 17752368
Science. 1978 Mar 03;199(4332):973-5. doi: 10.1126/science.199.4332.973.

Delayed leaf senescence has been found in a soybean population which maintains its chlorophyll and ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase activity in leaves and nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) activity in root nodules throughout seed maturation. Incorporation of delayed leaf senescence into an...
