Background: The oncologic behavior of mucinous adenocarcinoma (MA) of colorectal differs from non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (NMA). MA is more advanced at diagnosis and has a poorer prognosis than NMA. We aimed to evaluate prognostic factors and survival rate in patients with MA compared with NMA in Western Iran. Methods: During 2008-2015 in a retrospective study, 83 patients with CRC referred to...

Objectives: Methamphetamine (MA) dependence is a new health problem among Iranian female methadone patients. In recent years, the Matrix Model (a sixteen-week psychosocial treatment) has been provided for treating MA dependence. However, the problems associated with this treatment in methadone services are not clear. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted to explore the problems associated...

Background: This study investigated the probable effects of daily administration of methamphetamine (MA) on sperm motility, acrosome reaction (AR), acridine orange (AO), sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) test and chromomycin A3 (CMA3) in mice. Materials and Methods: Twenty four NMRI male mice were administrated three different doses of MA intraperitoneally (n=6 in each group). Different doses of...

Present paper examines the effect of acid type and hydrolysis conditions on morphology, size, yield and crystallinity of produced cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). Cellulose obtained from waste office paper was hydrolyzed under the same conditions by Maleic acid (MA) and Sulfuric Acid (SA) in separate treatments.  Also this cellulose was hydrolyzed under different timing and temperature by MA and SA...

Objective: There are controversial reports about biological effects of the Melia Azedarach Linn. (MA). In the present study, the effect of MA fruit extract on lipid profile, cardiac and hepatic functions of diabetic rats was investigated. Materials and Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups. Group 1 as the control group, Group 2 as the diabetic group, Group 3 and 4 as t...

This chapter addresses three main problems of the production planning area: Single Machine Scheduling (SMS), Parallel Machine Scheduling (PMS) and Flowshop Scheduling (FS). Many situations in production environments found in industries around the world can be modelled as one or a set of them (Baker 1974). It is easy to find dozens of problem variants in the literature due to different productio...

Lymphocytic hypothalamitis (LHT) is a rare disease characterized by pituitary dysfunction, autonomic instability, metabolic disturbances, and neuropsychiatric disorders. We report the case of a 30-year-old man found to have LHT that progressed despite treatment with methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). A literature review was conducted to identify prior studies pertaining t...
