background: acute myeloid leukemia (aml) is known as one of the most common leukemia among adults. environmental and different genetic factors affect disease process, prognosis and treatment. among different genetic factors npm1, flt3, mll and baalc genes are the most effective on patient's survival rate. the aim of this study was to assess amount of baalc gene expression in aml patients, and i...

background: it has been suggested that the autonomic system function and the metabolic syndrome can significantly affect patients' survival. the aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of the cardiac rehabilitation program on the autonomic system balance in patients with coronary artery disease. methods: patients with a previous diagnosis of coronary artery disease who were refer...

conclusion a higher magnetic field strength and a decrease in the hr resulted in an increase in body temperature during the mri procedure. results our investigation of the physiological response to rf heating indicated a link between increasing age and body temperature. a higher increase in body temperature was observed in older patients after a 3.0-t mri (r = 0.07, p = 0.29 for 1.5-t mri; r = ...

clarithromycin (cla), a broad-spectrum macrolide, is a poorly soluble drug with dissolution rate limited absorption. the aim of this investigation was to prepare cla nanoparticles from a ternary ground mixture in the presence of sodium lauryl sulfate (sls) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) as co-grinding water-soluble compounds, in order to improve the drug dissolution rate. different weight rati...

in the previous studies, the rate of primary infertility was reported differently. it seems the main reasons are related to the different methods of data collection and information analysis. therefore, introducing a precise method to determine the infertile couples and the population exposed to the risk of infertility is an important issue to study primary infertility.the proposed methodology f...

infertility is one of the most significant medical, as well as social problems that affect psychological health of families and societies. determining the prevalence of infertility is important for evaluating the potential of fertility. there are different reports on the prevalence of infertility in iran, but the current research employs fertility history in order to provide an unbiased estimat...

in the management and evaluation of asthma, simple instruments for measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (pefr) are necessary. the aim of this study was to determine normal pefr of the healthy children in babol, iran. this study was randomly done on 1050 students (primary and secondary schools) in babol. mini-wright peak flow meter was used for measurement of pefr. the range of age, weight ...
