Introducing a Guideline for Preparing an Article from a Thesis: A Continuing Education Article M. Rezaeian[1]     Received: 14/10/2020  Sent for Revision: 02/11/2020 Received Revised Manuscript: 08/11/2020 Accepted: 09/11/2020     The necessity of publishing articles from diverse levels of education has always been emphasized. This would help to increase the likelihood of the use of th...

In echocardiography (echo), an electrocardiogram (ECG) is conventionally used to temporally align different cardiac views for assessing critical measurements. However, in emergencies or point-of-care situations, acquiring ECG often not option, hence motivating the need alternative temporal synchronization methods. Here, we propose Echo-SyncNet, a self-supervised learning framework synchronize v...

LPS pretreatment of human pro-monocytic THP-1 cells induces tolerance to secondary LPS stimulation with reduced TNFalpha production. However, secondary stimulation with heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus (HKSa) induces priming as evidenced by augmented TNFalpha production. The pro-inflammatory cytokine, IFNgamma, also abolishes suppression of TNFalpha in LPS tolerance. The effect of LPS toleranc...

Research, all over the world, is starting to recognize the potential impact of physicians' dissatisfaction and burnout on their productivity, that is, on their intent to leave the job, on their work ability, on the amount of sick leave days, on their intent to continue practicing, and last but not least, on the quality of the services provided, which is an essential part of the general medical ...

In aging humans, night levels of melatonin (MEL) decline progressively. Also thyroid and gonadal functions decline during aging while gonadotropins (luteotropic hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)) steadily increase. A desynchronization of pineal circadian cyclicity as expressed by the progressive decrease of the MEL night peak may be permissively linked to the onset and progres...

MTX and steroids were continued, the patient received two infusions of 1000 mg RTX at a 2-week interval without any side-effects. During the following weeks, the vasculitic lesions started to heal and resolved completely within 5 months (Fig. 1b). In addition, articular symptoms improved with the 28-joint disease activity score (DAS28) decreasing from 5.05 to 2.97 at week 16, when the patient s...

We have previously obtained, by exposure to near continuous increas ing concentrations of cisplatin, a panel of human ovarian cancer cell lines that exhibit a wide range of primary resistance to the drug (9to >400fold). These cells had strikingly increased (4to 50-fold) levels of glutathione (GSH) as compared with the drug-sensitive cells of origin (A. K. Godwin et al., Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. U...

Many-body scattering problem is solved asymptotically when the size of the particles tends to zero and the number of the particles tends to infinity. A method is given for calculation of the number of small particles and their boundary impedances such that embedding of these particles in a bounded domain, filled with known material, results in creating a new material with a desired refraction c...
