This article has considered the volume and direction of Iran’s trade using the gravity model. The major issue in this analysis is to explore why Iran over or under-traded with the 76 countries relative to the predicted trade flows of the model. The study attempts to explore the reasons from the respect of both the model itself and Iran’s trade structure. This is done by analysing the performanc...

However, the majority of them infected to HIV from their mothers during pregnancy, during delivery or breastfeeding (1). Antiretroviral therapy (ART) use during and after pregnancy is essential for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV (2).  In the absence of any in...

While addressing rapid population growth might be a necessary condition for peace, it is by no means sufficient.

Cutaneous involvement is an unusual complication in brucellosis that has been reported to range between 0.4% and 17%. We here introduce a 40-year-old shepherd, who presented with two ulcerative abscesses in his lower left leg. Cultivation of the abscess aspirate was positive for Brucella abortus. The first titer of his serological test was 1/160, which subsequently rose to 1/640. In countries l...

Primary Carcinoma of the liver is a rare disease in Iran like most parts of the world.  The incidence of this disease is about 2-8 times more in male than female but in Iran the ratio is almost equal between the two sexes.  The highest incidence in this country is in the age groups of 41-50 and 51-60. This seems to be in a lower age group in comparison to the United Slates as well as in other...
