normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa gossypibomas or retained surgical foreign bodies, although uncommon causes of abdominal lumps, still remain a major cause of concern for surgeons worldwide. their early identification and treatment are mandatory to prevent morbidity as well as mortality. the major diagnostic dilemma still remains in the vagueness of presentation of this callous enti...

Simultaneous laser induced- breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and acoustic response techniques as well as Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) are applied to investigate the abnormal lymph tissues due to Hodgkin disease. The spectral shift in the emissive fluorescence of the cancerous tissues has been observed respect to the normal ones. Regarding LIBS, the concentrations of Ca and Na trace elements ha...

among oral lesions, we encounter a series of malignant epithelial lesions that go through clinical and histopathologic processes in order to be diagnosed. identifying these processes along with the etiology knowledge of these lesions is very important in prevention and early treatments. dysplasia is the step preceding the formation of squamous cell carcinoma in lesions which have the potential ...

conclusions it seems that pcr-rflp is a suitable technique for the identification of mucorales at the species level. results on the basis of the molecular and morphological data, we identified mucor plumbeus (10.83%), m. circinelloides (9.17%), lichtheimia corymbifera (9.17%), m. racemosus (5.83%), m. ramosissimus (3.33%), and l. blakesleeana (0.83%). objectives the present study was conducted ...

It is well established that permanent childhood hearing impairment (PCHI) has a detrimental impact on speech and language development. The past two decades have seen the gradual introduction of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) programmes coupled with early intervention programmes. We review studies that have capitalised on the advent of newborn hearing screening to assess the impact o...

Autism spectrum disorders are characterised by severe deficits in socialisation, communication, and repetitive or unusual behaviours. Increases over time in the frequency of these disorders (to present rates of about 60 cases per 10,000 children) might be attributable to factors such as new administrative classifications, policy and practice changes, and increased awareness. Surveillance and sc...

background and purpose :candidiasis is a widespread fungal infection caused by different candida species. rapid identification of candida species in clinical laboratory is becoming increasingly important since the identification and discrimination of ethological agents for early treatment. we aimed at molecular identification of commonly candida species isolated from clinical samples by using b...

brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in iran and human brucellosis is endemic in all parts of the country. growth of brucella is slow and blood culture of these bacteria by use of classical methods is time-consuming. furthermore, in endemic area culture is required for definitive diagnosis. in the present study, direct urease test and acridine orange staining were tried on th...
