studying csf (cerebro spinal fluid) is a simple and fast measure for diagnosing meningitis in children. for this reason, lp [umbar puncture] is used to treat csf.  regarding the side effects of lp, we decided to determine the positive points observed in the patients’ files than total patients confined to bed in our selected population. in this study conducted by descriptive retrospective method...

objective: to evaluate effects ofg-csf on a cancelled art cycle due to thin endometrium. materials and methods: in a nonrandomized clinical trial from january 2011 to january 2013 in two tertiary university based hospitals fifteen patients undergoing embryo transfer and with the history of cycle cancellation due to thin endometrium were studied. intrauterine infusion of g-csf was done on the da...

alzheimer disease (ad) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia. increasing evidence suggests that alzheimer's disease pathogenesis is not restricted to the neuronal compartment, but includes strong interactions with immunological mechanisms in the brain. in vitro and animal studies have linked neuroinflammation to alzheimer's disease (ad) pathology. studie...

Many diseases are related to cerebrospinal .uid (CSF) hydrodynamics. Therefore, understanding the hydrodynamics of CSF .ow and intracranial pressure is helpful for obtaining deeper knowledge of pathological processes and providing better treatments. Furthermore, engineering a reliable computational method is promising approach for fabricating in vitro models which is essential for inventing gen...

Background and Aims GM-CSF-dependent macrophage polarization has been demonstrated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our aim was to seek diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers for undifferentiated (UA) by analyzing GM-CSF expression source, density joints of patients with UA evolving RA or PsA compared established PsA, respectively. Methods Synovial tissue (ST) from (UA>RA, n=8), (UA>PsA, n...

objective bacterial meningitis is still a life threatening epidemiological problem especially in many developing countries; considering its dire consequences, its prompt and accurate diagnosis has become a priority for clinicians. because of the various limitations of conventionally used laboratory techniques, we evaluated and compared the diagnostic utility of c-reactive protein(crp) and lacta...
