breast cancer (bc) is considered as one of the most important causes of death worldwide. previous studies showed that apolipoprotein b mrna- editing catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (apobec3) gene deletion significantly increased the risk of bc risk in chinese and european women. the present study aimed to assess the possible impact of apobec3 deletion and the risk of bc in a sample of iranian popu...

a total of 14 cases of infective endocarditis (ie) in children aged 6 months to 10 years were seen from december 1987 to december 1992 at the pediatric unit of ayatollah taleghani medical center. the majority of patients (12 of 14) were between 5 and 10 years of age. acyanotic congenital heart disease was known to preexist in 78.6% and rheumatic valvular heart disease in 21.4% of cases. organis...

introduction: this study aimed to evaluate the dentin-sealer interface in three different sealers using scanning electron microscopy (sem). methods and materials: thirty extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared using protaper rotary files and were randomly divided into three groups ( n =10) including bc sealer, ah-plus and dorifill. the root canals were filled with cold lateral condens...

Introduction: The growing trend of cancer incidence in the past few decades and its effects on physical, psychological, spiritual, and social dimensions both in patients and their families make cancer one of the major health hazards of the century. Of all cancers, breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent among females. Thus, the current study aimed at comparing three components of BC between fe...

Background: Breast Cancer (BC), the second leading cause of cancer mortality after lung cancer and varied across the world due to genetic and environmental factors. In this study, we evaluated the interaction between the polymorphisms in genes encoding enzymes of folate metabolism: methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), methionine synthesis reductase (MTR) with the BC prognostic factors. ...

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed genitourinary cancer in Iran, presented in both men and women. BC is a multifactorial trait resulting from the complex interaction between several genes and environmental factors. Long stress-induced non-coding transcript 5 (LSINCT5), a member of the long non-coding RNAs, is abundantly expressed in high proliferative cells, as well ...

background breast cancer (bc) is the most common cancer in iranian women. studying the mortality statistics is important to monitor the effects of screening programs or the influence of earlier diagnosis on the burden of this chronic disease. misclassification is still a problem in the iranian death registry data and about 20% of death statistics are recorded in misclassified categories. object...
