background: it is hypothesized that the impacts of life events accumulate and can trigger and promote atherosclerosis in susceptible individuals. in the current study, the correlation of total life stressors during 1 year was investigated relative to coronary artery disease (cad). methods: the study population consisted of 148 males and 152 females aged 35–76 years. the subjects were classified...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial was to test posterior zirconia-ceramic fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) veneered with a computer-aided design/computer- assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) lithium disilicate veneering ceramic (CAD-on) and manually layered zirconia veneering ceramic with respect to survival of the FDPs, and technical and biologic outcomes. ME...

OBJECTIVE Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to assess the relationship of serum inflammatory marker high sensitivity C Reactive protein (hsCRP), with the presence and severity of angiographically evaluated coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS This study was conducted at departments of physiology and cardiology, College of Medicine & King ...

Introduction: Variants in long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated as potential biomarkers in prediction of complex disorders such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Studies considering the impact of the SENCR antisense lncRNAs on CAD have not established yet in Iranian population. This study aimed to investigate the association between SENCR rs555172 polymorphism and CAD in south Ira...
