[ 1 ] - Relationship of Opium Dependency and Stroke
Abstract Background: Stroke is the third cause of mortality and not only leads to dependency, which is a great social, individual and cultural problem, but also can affect the physiology, immune system and coagulation system such as plasma fibrinogen, and it may potentially increase the risk of stroke. This study investigated the relationship of opium dependency and stroke. Method...
[ 2 ] - Assessment of adherence to antituberculosis drug regimen among patients receiving isoniazid, rifampin and pyrazinamide: Kerman, Iran
Introdution: Among infectious diseases, tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of death killing in nearly 1.5 million people yearly. Considering the importance of patient co-operation in drug therapy and resistance we decided to evaluate the rate of co-operation of tuberculosis infected patients in regard to their use of anti-tuberculosis drugs in Kerman. Methods: This descriptive study was...
[ 3 ] - The Effect of Deuterium Depleted/Enriched Water on the Growth of A549 and HepG2 Cell Lines
Background: Although advances in cancer therapy continue to develop, the overall survival rate is poor for some cancer cases. The search for a new adjuvant strategy is the focus of cancer treatment. There is some evidence suggesting a change in the mechanism of cell function by a change in the content of deuterium in the medium. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the ...
[ 4 ] - Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship Study on Thiosemicarbazone Derivatives as Antitubercular agents Using Artificial Neural Network and Multiple Linear Regression
Background and purpose: Nonlinear analysis methods for quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) studies better describe molecular behaviors, than linear analysis. Artificial neural networks are mathematical models and algorithms which imitate the information process and learning of human brain. Some S-alkyl derivatives of thiosemicarbazone are shown to be beneficial in prevention and...
