Botulism is an essential health problem because of its high mortality. The diagnosis of botulism, especially in sporadic cases, is a medical challenge and a high clinical suspicion is necessary for early recognitio...

Objective: With the increasing incidence of cancer and the dramatic effect of early detection on treatment and increase patient's life, many efforts have been devoted to making sensitive diagnosis systems. DNA as a biomarker for diagnosis of different types of cancers at the early stages of illness has attracted much attention.Methods: In this research novel electrochemical biosensor was ...

Introduction: Early diagnosis of gastric cancer is the best solution for reversing cancer and curing patients. So far, gastric cancer is diagnosed in late stages due to misinterpretation of symptoms or absence of specific symptoms. Highly sensitive and selective detection methods for biomarkers are needed for early detection. Methods: This paper proposed a new fast screening method, based on t...

Background: The value of CA15-3(cancer antigen 15-3) marker in early detection of breast cancer recurrence has been studied in several prospective trials. But the results of these studies are different. This may be due to variable cutoff points used for analysis, different intervals between CA15-3 measurements and the differences between patients population. This study was done to examine the p...

many types of cancers develop in the oral and maxillofacial region. squamous cell carcinoma is the most common cancer and constitutes over 90 percent of these tumors. malignant transformation is a genetic process, which later makes a phenotyping change at the cellular level. some cancers such as oral squamous cell carcinomas (osccs) develop from pre-malignant lesions and conditions. despite adv...
