Background: 10-Year survival (10YS) after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (LC) patients (LCP) (T1-4N0-2M0) was analyzed. Methods: We analyzed data of 768 LCP (age = 57.6 ± 8.3 years) radically operated (R0) in 1985–2021 (m 660, f 108; lobectomies 514, pneumonectomies 254, only surgery-S 618, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT 150: CAV/gemzar + cisplatin thymalin/taktivin radioth...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This study aims to investigate the effects of a walking program on aerobic endurance and function in a sample of sedentary elderly people. DESIGN AND METHODS For this study, 126 sedentary individuals were recruited: 63 individuals (mean age = 74.1±6.0 years) for the control group and 63 (mean age = 72.0±4.5 years) for the intervention group. The intervention consisted of ...

5-survival (5YS) and life span after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (LC) patients (LCP) (T1–4N0–2M0) was analyzed. We analyzed data of 771 consecutive LCP (age = 57.6 ± 8.3 years) radically operated monitored in 1985–2022 (m 662, f 109; lobectomies 516, pneumonectomies 255; combined procedures 194; only surgery-S 620, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT 151: CAV/gemcitabine+cisp...

background: one of the important sites for extrapulmonary tb involvement is the skeleton. tuberculous spondylitis (pott’s disease) comprises 50-70% of the skeletal tuberculosis. methods: in this case series study, we prospectively investigated the result of anterior surgery alone (anterior debridement, fusion and instrumentation) in the patients with spinal tuberculosis. the patients with immat...

The GH dose-response effect of long-term continuous GH treatment on adult height (AH) was evaluated in 54 short children born small for gestational age (SGA) who were participating in a randomized, double-blind, dose-response trial. Patients were randomly and blindly assigned to treatment with either 3 IU (group A) or 6 IU (group B) GH/m(2).d ( approximately 0.033 or 0.067 mg/kg.d, respectively...

OBJECTIVE To construct growth curves for school-aged children and adolescents that accord with the WHO Child Growth Standards for preschool children and the body mass index (BMI) cut-offs for adults. METHODS Data from the 1977 National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)/WHO growth reference (1-24 years) were merged with data from the under-fives growth standards' cross-sectional sample (18-7...

BackgroundLead is a strong and stable toxin, harmful especially to children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Nearly 27% of children aged under 5 years suffer from failure to thrive (FTT). Due to the probable harmful effects of lead poisoning on children’s growth, in this study we aimed to assess the blood lead level in children with unexplained failure to thrive.MethodsThis analytic cross-sect...

conclusions the results of our study show that serum zinc level in bronchiectasis patients was lower than the control group and the difference was statistically significant. it seems that the use of zinc supplement can reduce progression of the infectious disease regarding its role in improving the immune system reactions and some unknown mechanisms. therefore, prophylactic and therapeutic use ...

T. S. Braver and colleagues (e.g., T. S. Braver, J. D. Cohen, & D. M. Barch, 2002) have provided a theory of cognitive control that focuses on the role of context processing. According to their theory, an underlying context-processing mechanism is responsible for the cognitive control functions of attention, inhibition, and working memory. In the present study, the authors examined whether T. S...
