Background: Brucellosis is one of the endemic and a Zoonotic disease of the Iran. Science the rapid diagnosis and quick treatment are very important, selection of a sensitive and specific test solving this problem is of a great importance. The main aim of this study is comparison of routine serologic test with standard Elisa test. Materials and methods: In this survey, 176 suspected patient...

PURPOSE The present study evaluated the effect of rectal washout in reducing local recurrence after resection for rectal cancer. METHODS A literature search was performed on studies published since 1989 that compared rectal washout to no washout for rectal cancer resection. Primary end point was local cancer recurrence. Random-effect meta-analysis was used and subgroup analysis was performed....

The authors examined 13 skilled and 12 novice tennis performers’ ability to use visual information of an opponent’s movement pattern to anticipate and respond. In Experiment 1, skilled and novice players anticipated the type of stroke and the direction in which the ball was hit in a highly coupled perception–action environment. Both groups of players correctly anticipated at greater than chance...

left ventricular aneurysm has been reported in association with noncoronary types of cardiac disease, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,’ congenital deficiencies of myocardium,2 sarcoidosis,3 and postoperatively after mitral valve replacement,4 most occur as a consequence of severe coronary narrowing with myocardial infarction. Most reports on surgical and/or necropsy patients with coronary-i...

BACKGROUND Intimal hyperplasia and resulting restenosis limit the efficacy of coronary stenting. We studied a coronary stent coated with the antiproliferative agent paclitaxel as a means of preventing restenosis. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, randomized, controlled, triple-blind study to evaluate the ability of a paclitaxel-eluting stent to inhibit restenosis. At three centers, 177 pati...

Substantial harmful effects of cigarette smoke on fecundity and reproduction have become apparent but are not generally appreciated. smoking is becoming increasingly popular in many parts of the world as in eastern Mediterranean and Arabic countries including Iran. The ...

estimating snow melt water equivalent is one of the most important challenges in determining the hydrological regime in mountainous basins. there are some problematic obstacles in field observations, due to inaccessibility as well due to difficulties in snow sampling at snow covered peaks making researchers try to find indirect approaches. one of these methods in use is degree- day model that i...
