the primary objective of this research is to evolve “a model for organizational intelligence in iranian universities”. based on the literature review, the dimensions and components of organizational intelligence in public universities were identified using expert panel opinions and delphi technique. a novel model for organizational intelligence in iranian universities is investigated by using d...

We provide recommendations for stocking of antidotes used in emergency departments (EDs). An expert panel representing diverse perspectives (clinical pharmacology, medical toxicology, critical care medicine, hematology/oncology, hospital pharmacy, emergency medicine, emergency medical services, pediatric emergency medicine, pediatric critical care medicine, poison centers, hospital administrati...

H ere, we describe a 52-year-old woman with a history of primary plasma cell leukemia (PCL) who achieved complete remission after the tandem of autologous and nonmyeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nine months after the allogeneic SCT, she presented with oculomotor and trochlear nerve palsy (diplopia, ptosis of the right upper eye lid, and dilated right pupil). Physical ex...

BACKGROUND Postoperative pulmonary complications remain the most significant cause of morbidity following open upper abdominal surgery despite advances in perioperative care. However, due to the poor quality primary research uncertainty surrounding the value of prophylactic physiotherapy intervention in the management of patients following abdominal surgery persists. The Delphi process has been...

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is recognized as a distinct disease entity associated with improved survival. DNA hypermethylation profiles differ significantly by HPV status suggesting that a specific subset of methylated CpG loci could give mechanistic insight into HPV-driven OPSCC. We analyzed genome-wide DNA methylation of primary tumor samp...

Genotype imputation is a vital tool in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses of multiple GWAS results. Imputation enables researchers to increase genomic coverage and to pool data generated using different genotyping platforms. HapMap samples are often employed as the reference panel. More recently, the 1000 Genomes Project resource is becoming the primary source for referenc...

Systemic treatment of patients with early-stage cancers attempts to eradicate occult metastatic disease to prevent recurrence and increased morbidity. However, prediction of recurrence from an analysis of the primary tumor is limited because disseminated cancer cells only represent a small subset of the primary lesion. Here we analyze the expression of circulating microRNAs (miRs) in serum obta...

peat analysis (MLVA) as described (1,3–5). Multilocus sequence typing profi les of these strains were identical to the type strain B. microti CCM 4915T and strain CCM 4916. MLVA showed that these strains also clustered with B. microti strains CCM 4915T and CCM 4916, with identical panel 1 and panel 2A genotypes but a different panel 2B genotype. In summary, we successfully isolated B. microti f...
