The Relationship between Opium Dependency and Stroke
Introduction:Stroke is the 3 cause of death and although it is a common disease,its incidence is not the same in diffirent parts of the world and depends on various factors.opium dependency apart from being a social and cultural problem has several effects on physiological,immune and coagulation systems and conseguently the risk of stroke. Method:The study was done in Kerman shafa hospital dur...
متن کاملComparison of Sperm Telomere Length between Two Sperm Selection Procedures: Density Gradient Centrifugation and Zeta Potential
Background: Telomeres are particular sequences of DNA located at the end of the eukaryotic chromosomes that are essential for genome integrity. Telomere length in spermatozoa differs among males, as well as spermatozoa. Also, decreased telomere length in spermatozoa of infertile men is associated with the reduction of fertility potential and embryo quality. Density gradient centrifugation (DGC)...
متن کاملthe relationship between critical thinking and reading strategies
during the process of reading, sometimes learners use ineffective and inefficient strategies and some factors may influence their use of strategies. perhaps critical thinking is one of these factors. this study aims to identify those categories of reading strategies that are mostly used by iranian efl learners and to see if there is any significant relationship between the critical thinking abi...
The long and short of telomere length and diabetes.
Aging is a major risk factor for a number of complex diseases including cancers, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes, yet the biological processes linking aging and disease risk are poorly understood. A potential mediator of age-related increases in disease risk may lie in repetitive sequences of DNA known as telomeres. Telomeres represent the genome’s defense mechanism against the biol...
متن کاملShort Leukocyte Telomere Length Is Associated With Cardioembolic Stroke Risk in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The risk of cardioembolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) cannot be accurately assessed and novel tools are needed to improve prediction. We hypothesize that telomere shortening constitutes a novel risk factor for cardioembolic stroke in patients with AF. METHODS The peripheral blood leukocyte telomere length (LTL) was determined by real-time polymerase...
