the major aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two teachingmethods of traditional (common) and integrated for physical education on learningbiology and developing social skills in male junior students. this study was semiexperimentalwhich was conducted in islamshahr city for 12 weeks. the statisticalpopulation consisted of 79 volunteer junior students who studied the second gra...

understanding the genetic regulatory networks, the discovery of interactions between genes, and understanding regulatory processes in a cell at the gene level, is one of the major goals of system biology and computational biology. modeling gene regulatory networks, describing the actions of the cells at the molecular level and is used in medicine and molecular biology applications such as metab...

Major advances have occurred in our understanding of the biology, immunology, and opportunities for treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in recent times. Surface antigen analysis has helped us define classical CLL and differentiate it from variants such as marginal zone leukemia, mantle cell leukemia, and prolymphocytic leukemia. An important observation has been that the B-cells in ...

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder associated with an average survival of less than 5 years. Therapy for PMF has used chemotherapeutic agents, immunomodulatory drugs, or biological-response modifiers that have not always been directed at the biological processes that underlie the origins of PMF. Such strategies are palliative and have an uncertain effect on sur...

A carcinoid tumor is a rare malignant disease which can be cured when localized and treated by surgery. Chemotherapy is not effective, and somatostatin is used for palliation. Rarely is the disease aggressive, and thus does not contribute to a shortening of patient survival. The aim of this study was to define the treatment and survival of patients with primary lung carcinoid tumors. Forty-thre...

Clinical reports of limited and treatable cancer metastases, a disease state that exists in a transitional zone between localized and widespread systemic disease, were noted on occasion historically and are now termed oligometastasis. The ramification of a diagnosis of oligometastasis is a change in treatment paradigm, i.e. if the primary cancer site (if still present) is controlled, or resecte...

Gliomas are rare compared to cancers of the breast, lung, or colon, but few malignancies are more devastating. While no therapeutic breakthroughs have occurred, the treatment of glioma is improving. Surgical care is improving. Magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative mapping studies are leading to safer, more complete resections. With scan-guided stereotactic biopsy, unresectable tumors ca...
