- BookJavad Karimi, Hossein Madadi, editors.Summary: The book provides a reference to biological control of arthropod pests in agriculture and of public health importance in Iran. A quick glance over the literature shows a long history of biocontrol attempts in the country. Some historically important events highlighting the interest of Iranian academic, research and extension fields to the natural enemies and their applied aspects are provided. Iran, with an exception of the former USSR, was a pioneer in both basic and applied biocontrol in West Asia. The book consists of four parts: three parts for predators, parasitoids and pathogens, and last part for other approaches and analyses of the current state of biological control in Iran. The book provides the most up-to-date information on pest control and related topics of entomology in Iran. The chapters are written by scholars from major Universities and research centers in Iran.

Subject Index. - ArticleAm J Cardiol. 1978 Sep;42(3):489-98.The relation between baseline fasting serum lipid levels (serum cholesterol and triglycerides) and 5 year rates for four end points--mortality from all causes, mortality from coronary heart disease, sudden death due to coronary heart disease and incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction plus coronary death--was studied in 2,789 men. These were patients in the Coronary Drug Project placebo group who were 30 to 64 years old on entry and had recovered from one or more previous documented myocardial infarctions. Serum cholesterol was significantly related to all four end points, in both univariate and multivariate regression analyses (with control of 38 or 39 other factors in the latter). This significant relation of cholesterol to these end points was shown at low, medium and high levels of serum triglycerides. In contrast, baseline fasting serum triglyceride levels were not positively related to any of these end points. In these postmyocardial infarction patients, findings indicative of cardiovascular status at baseline evaluation, particularly the state of the myocardium, were more powerful prognosticators than serum cholesterol. These findings underscore the importance of efforts to prevent the first coronary episode. They also indicate the possibility after recovery from acute myocardial infarction of improving long-term prognosis through reduction of serum cholesterol.
