introduction: green light photo selective vaporization of the prostate (pvp) is a minimally invasive method of treatment for clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia with fewer side effects. the aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and cost analysis of pvp compared with transurethral resection of prostate. methods: a systematic search was done in cochrane, trip database, medl...

Introduction: Since ancient times Malaria in Iran has been considered as a serious health risk, especially in Hormozgan Province, as no other disease like Malaria has imposed irreparable financial and life losses to the country. Since saving costs in the healthcare sector comes as first priority in most countries, this study aims at launching a cost-effectiveness analysis on malaria diagnosis d...

priority setting of health interventions is generally considered as a valuable approach to support low- and middle-income countries (lmics) in their strive for universal health coverage (uhc). however, present initiatives on priority setting are mainly geared towards the development of more cost-effectiveness information, and this evidence does not sufficiently support countries to make optimal...

background: disease-modifying drugs (dmds) are a significant expenditure for treating multiple sclerosis (ms). however, there is limited report on assessment of the cost-utility of dmds compared with symptom management in the presence of long-term data. this study aimed to assess the lifetime cost-utility from the iranian healthcare perspectives of 4dmds relative to symptom management alone in ...

The recent interest in heterogeneous parallel computing and improving network speeds have given rise to a new parallel architecture, the parallel network. This parallel processing paradigm, however, poses speciic challenges caused by the latency of the communications network and the workload imbalance that arises from the heterogeneity of the participating nodes. Data partitioning is of critica...

The defect cost analysis investigates the various contributions of conflicting quality objectives towards the total cost, using a probabilistic approach estimating the total effect of defects on product quality cost. Two cost drivers occur in every design, material cost and processing cost. The additional cost due to defect parts is usually seen only as one cost driver, however, it can be broke...
