The aim of this randomized double-blind clinical trial was to compare the antishivering effect of two different doses of intrathecal pethidine on the incidence and intensity of shivering and other side effects in patients who underwent cesarean section. Methods: In this study, 150 parturient females scheduled for nonemergent cesarean section were randomly allocated to three groups. Spinal anesthesia was performed with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (12.5 mg), plus 0.5 mL of 0.9% saline in the standard group (S group), and the same dose of bupivacaine with 5 mg (P5 group) or 10 mg of pethidine (P10 group). Demographic and surgical data, incidence and intensity of shivering (primary outcome), hemodynamic indices, forehead and core temperatures, maximum sensory level, Apgar scores, and adverse events were evaluated by a blinded observer. Results: There were no significant differences between the three study groups regarding the demographic and surgical data, hemodynamic indices, core temperatures, and maximum sensory level (P>0.05). The incidence and intensity of shivering were significantly less in the P5 and P10 groups (P

Summary: This study provides length–weight relationships (LWRs) for three flatfish species: Cynoglossus bilineatus (Lacepède, 1802), Solea elongata (Day, 1877), and Pseudorhombus elevatus (Ogilby, 1912) from Motaf fishing grounds (latitude 27°00′ to 28°03′N; longitude 51°41′ to 52°11′E), Bushehr province, Iran. A total of 103 fish specimens were collected using shrimp trawler with 40 mm (stretched mesh size) at depths of 10–30 m between August and September 2017. The LWRs for fish species were W = 0.0019L3.353 for C. bilineatus: W = 0.0093L3.174 for S. elongata, and W = 0.006L3.181 for P. elevatus, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: This investigation prepares the length–weight relationships (LWRs) of two fish species, including Alburnoides nicolausi (Bogutskaya & Coad, 2009) and Alburnus zagrosensis (Coad, 2009) from Houzian River (latitude 33°22′15.20″ to 33°21′31.57″N; longitude 49°44′39.66″ to 49°44′17.67″E), Lorestan province, Iran. Fish specimens were collected monthly using seine net with 5 mm (Stretched) mesh size between April to September 2017. The LWRs for fish species were W = 0.0059L3.405 (male) and W = 0.0053L3.494 (female) for A. nicolausi, W = 0.0035L3.341 (male) and W = 0.003L3.387 (female) for A. zagrosensis, respectively. The highest value of r2 was .931 for male of A. zagrosensis and lowest value was .964 for male of A. nicolausi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study describes the length-weight and length-length relationships for three cyprinid species, namely Barbus lacerta, Squalius lepidus and Pseudorasbora parva, and a balitorid species, Oxynoemacheilus angorae from the Sirwan River (located in Kurdistan and Kermanshah provinces, Iran. This study presents the first reference on LWR for most of the species in their distribution range. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
