Introduction: The demand for organ donation has increased in most countries of the world, while the number of donors remains relatively stable. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the attitude and performance of physicians and nurses in Rasht city. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive analytical study was conducted to investigate the attitude and performance...

introduction: pelvic organ prolapse is a common condition that occurs in parous women and affects the quality of life of women. the present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of recurrent prolapse. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study evaluated 365 women attending two public centers of ilam, west of iran. sampling was done by the simple random sampling method. all women particip...

background: exposure conditions in ct examinations are quite different from conventional xray. in ct examination higher dose is given to patient in comparison with the dose in other diagnostic examinations. in order to calculate organ effective dose in chest ct, monte carlo simulation has been used in this study. materials and methods: the impact survey data were used to determine the parameter...

introduction the purpose of this study was to estimate organ and effective doses in patients undergoing some common x-ray examinations in sabzevar, iran. the effective dose is one of the best parameters for describing the amount of radiation dose received by a patient undergoing any diagnostic x-ray examination. the public dose from x-ray examinations depends on various factors, and its contrib...

background the current organ shortage has prompted the use of marginal organs. we conducted this retrospective study to present our experience with transplanting deceased donor livers with elevated levels of serum transaminases and to explain whether elevated levels of serum transaminases in donors affect allograft function and survival of the recipients. methods data of deceased donor livers a...

Extensive research on the nutritional and medical application of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was performed in past decades. Besides nutritional values, new characteristics such as antibacterial and anticancer properties depict a bright future for high Selenium (Se) consumption in the coming years. Se is essential for the proper functioning of most of the m...

Introduction: Organ dose estimation using thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) is known to be a standard, although many other methods, such as simulation software, optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters, and photodiodes are still in use. This study aimed at directly measuring mean organ doses to the selected organs in the head/neck, chest, and abdominal regions from four computed tomography ...

background: ct is a diagnostic imaging modality giving higher patient dose in comparison with other radiological procedures, so the calculation of organ dose in ct exams is very important. while methods to calculate the effective dose have been established (icrp 26 and icrp 60), they depend heavily on the ability to estimate the dose to radiosensitive organs from the ct procedure. however, dete...
