background: androgens play critical role in secondary sexual and male gonads differentiations such as spermatogenesis, via androgen receptor. the human androgen receptor (ar) encoding gene contains two regions with three nucleotide polymorphic repeats (cag and ggn) in the first exon. unlike the cag repeats, the ggn has been less studied because of technical difficulties, so the functional role ...

objectives the aim of this study was to present the incidence and characteristics of repeated tbi (rtbi) in iranian patients. patients and methods during one year, all admitted tbi patients with prior tbi history were enrolled into the study. in each patient, data such as age, gender, past medical history, injury cause, anatomic site of injury, tbi severity, clinical findings and ct scan findin...

background traumatic brain injury (tbi) is a worldwide problem, especially in countries with high incidences of road traffic accidents such as iran. patients with a single occurrence of tbi have been shown to be at increased risk to future tbi. this study presents incidences and characteristics of repeated traumatic brain injury (rtbi) in iran. materials and methods during one year, all admitte...

Background & Objective: Accurate and timely reporting of critical values is an important issue. There is some doubt whether repeat testing of critical values would offer any advantage over single testing or not. The aim of this study was evaluation of utility of routine repeat testing of critical values in our referral center and to compare probable variations in different work...

In vertebrates, DNA methylation-mediated repression of retrotransposons is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity. In the current study, we developed a technique termed HT-TREBS (High-Throughput Targeted Repeat Element Bisulfite Sequencing). This technique is designed to measure the DNA methylation levels of individual loci of any repeat families with next-generation sequencing appr...

Degenerate primers-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are commonly used for isolation of unidentified gene sequences in related organisms. For designing the degenerate primers, we propose the use of local alignment search method for searching the conserved regions long enough to design an acceptable primer pair. To test this method, a WD40 repeat-containing domain protein from Beauveria bass...

The present study was undertaken to examine the efficacy of a treatment regime using a controlled internal drug release (CIDR) device in conjunction with injections of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) on conception rate of repeat-breeding Iraqi buffaloes. Data were collected from 100 buffaloeswith repeat breeding in Ninevehprovince housed at six private dairy ...

the result of transvaginal sacrospinous ligament fixation technique, as part of the vaginal repair procedure for massive uterovaginal (pelvic organ prolapse stage iii and stage iv and vault prolapse) is evaluated. a total of 32 women were included in the present case series. marked uterovaginal prolapse was present in 28 women and four had vault prolapse following hysterectomy. patients with va...
