Mediterranean fever gene mutation analysis in infertile Turkish males.

Male infertility is a common barrier that prevents successful conception. There have been reports of azoospermia in men with familial Mediterranean fever, some of whom had not been treated with colchicine. Variation in this disorder could be a risk factor for amyloidosis associated with azoospermia.

Removal of suspended solids and turbidity from marble processing wastewaters by electrocoagulation: comparison of electrode materials and electrode connection systems.

In this study, removal of suspended solids (SS) and turbidity from marble processing wastewaters by electrocoagulation (EC) process were investigated by using aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) electrodes which were run in serial and parallel connection systems. To remove these pollutants from the marble processing wastewater, an EC reactor including monopolar electrodes (Al/Fe) in parallel and serial connection system, was utilized. Optimization of differential operation parameters such as pH, current density, and electrolysis time on SS and turbidity removal were determined in this way.
