ferulago w. koch. (apiaceae) genus is represented by approximately 50 taxa throughout the world. ferulago species are known as “çakşır” or “çağşır” in turkey and mostly known for their aphrodisiac effects. however recent reports emphasize the activity of various ferulago species against cancer, as well. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lyophilized extract of f. mughlea peş...

background and objectives:rapid processing of histopathological specimens and decreased turnaround time is important to fulfill the needs of clinicians treating sick patients, so the present study was conducted to compare the time taken and quality of sections in processing of prostatic tissue by rapid microwave and conventional techniques using morphometry.methods: four to five mm thick paired...

background the most important surgical complications of renal transplantation are stenosis and obstruction of anastomosis of the ureter to the bladder. hence, routine use of ureteral stents to prevent such complications seems logical; however, the optimal time to remove the ureteral stent is still controversial. objectives the purpose of this study was to compare the benefits and complications ...

Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...

background: cytogenetic tests are usually used for diagnosing predisposed individuals to cancer by determining their lymphocyte radiosensitivity. objective: to determine the potential role of radiosensitivity in predisposition of prostate cancer by comparing lymphocyte radiosensitivity of prostate cancer patients with healthy donors. materials and methods: the blood samples of 10 prostate cance...

abstract: the prostate gland is the major accessory gland in male dogs. prostate disease is a common problem in older intact male dogs. the aim of this study was to determine prostatic dimensions by plain radiography and urethrocystography in dogs and compare them with actual sizes. plain radiography and urethrocystography were performed on 10 intact young adult male dogs. after necropsy length...

Purpose: In the current study, using different radiobiological models, tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of radiotherapy plans were calculated for three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of prostate cancer.Methods and Materials: 10 prostate plans were randomly selected among patients ...
