Interpretive Structural Modeling of the Role of the Organizational Nature on Brand Identity in the Biological Industry (A Case Study of the Razi Institute).

This research seeks to investigate the factors related to the nature of the organization and its role in brand identity. The research was conducted in the field of biological industry. Razi Institute is the leader of the vaccine industry in terms of a variety of products and production of more than 70% of the country's market needs and is a propitious case for studying this industry.

Cerebral Hydatidosis in a Lamb.

A 6-month-old Afshari male lamb was examined on a semi-intensive farm due to anorexia and neurologic signs, including head tilt, circling, bilateral positive menace response and stupor. The sheep was slaughtered and necropsied. After routine parasitology and histopathology procedures, the occurrence of cerebral hydatidosis was confirmed.

Right parasternal echocardiographic reference values in the healthy male Iranian Shall sheep.

Background: Among the large animals, the heart of sheep is functionally and structurally very similar to the human heart. In research, sheep are used as an animal model to study the process of cardiac disease pathogenesis and treatment. Therefore, determining the normal values of the heart structures of sheep with echocardiography is of particular emphasis.

More than meets the eye: rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis with diabetic ketoacidosis presenting as periorbital edema resulting in orbital exenteration and maxillectomy.

Mucormycosis is an invasive fungal infection that can cause acute clinical decompensation and death. The literature demonstrates case fatality rates around 50% with differential clinical courses contingent upon anatomical incursion. Rhino-orbital cerebral mucormycosis represents a rapidly hostile variant with poorer outcomes, warranting prompt recognition, workup, and intervention.

A rare case of Cysticercus tenuicollis infection in a neonate lamb: Evidence of prenatal transmission.

Cysticercosis develops in lambs following a Cysticercus tenuicollis infestation, which is the larval stage of Taenia hydatigena. A 7-day-old lamb was examined for depression, anorexia, fever (40.5°C), congested mucus membranes, reluctance to move, and a hunched back.

Perspectives of California Legislators on Institutional Barriers and Facilitators to Non-Partisan Research Evidence Use in State Health Policymaking.

Background: Bridging the translational gap between research evidence and health policy in state legislatures requires understanding the institutional barriers and facilitators to non-partisan research evidence use. Previous studies have identified individual-level barriers and facilitators to research evidence use, but limited perspectives exist on institutional factors within legislatures that influence non-partisan research evidence use in health policymaking.

Objective: We describe the perspectives of California state legislators and legislative staff on institutional barriers and facilitators of non-partisan research evidence use in health policymaking and explore potential solutions for enhancing use.
