Iran is known as the most complex and varied country in southwest Asia, in terms of geography, vegetation, climate and consequently biological diversity. The rather high number of recorded endemic species of Fulgoromorpha in Iran indicates a high potential for speciation in some areas. In this study, in order to identify the endemic zones for Fulgoromorpha of Iran, three main biogeographic regi...

Artemisia species, which are medically beneficial, are widespread in temperate regions of both Northern and Southern hemispheres among which Iran is located. About 35 species of Artemisia are indigenous in Iran among them some are widespread in all or most provinces, yet some are restricted to some specific regions. In this review paper, initially, GC-Mass results of some experiments done in di...

In this study, the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of children with neuroblastoma treated in a referral oncology hospital in Shiraz, Southern Iran, were investigated. MATERIAL AND METHOD In this historical cohort study, the medical files of 36 children under 18 years old wi...

We report a 23-year-old man and three members of his family with Hb J-Iran confirmed by electrophoresis, chain separation by high performance liquid chromatography and sequencing. Alpha thalassemia was also confirmed in two family members. The substitution at β77 led to a higher negative charge of the βJ-Iran subunit, which enhanced its electrostatic attraction for the normal positively-charged...

Despite an increasing prevalence of obesity and hypertension in young age, there is limited information on the contribution of body mass index (BMI) to blood pressure (BP) in these populations, especially in developing countries. This study examines the association between BMI and BP in four populations of school age children across southern region of Islamic republic of Iran.

BACKGROUND Infection with Trichostrongylus spp. is common among human and herbivorous in most parts of Iran, especially in southern and northern areas. The aim of present study was to identify Trichostrongylus spp. among human population using excreted egg specimens, by the molecular method, in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran. METHODS Overall, 33 positive fecal specimens were randomly samp...
