background: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of rheumatologic manifestations associated with mds. methods: eighty patients with mds were evaluated by history and physical examination for inflammatory rheumatologic disorders from jan 2013 to may 2014. patients who had any signs or symptoms of rheumatologic disorders underwent evaluation by laboratory test...

In this paper, we study self-dual codes over GF(p) where p = 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29. A classification of such codes for small lengths is given. The largest minimum weights of these codes are investigated. Many maximum distance separable self-dual codes are constructed.

background: myelodysplastic syndromes (mdss) include a diverse group of clonal bone marrow disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and pancytopenia.it was found that down regulation of apaf1, a putative tumor suppressor gene (tsg),leads to resistance to chemotherapy and disease development in some cancers. in this study, we investigated the relation of apaf1 methylation status with...

myelodysplastic syndromes (mds) are a group of hematological disorders ranging from chronic refractory anemia to leukemia. there are some reports about association of mds with autoimmune disorders and vasculitis. in this study we describe a patient with mds and vasculitis presenting with central nervous system (cns) involvement. a clinical response to immunosuppressive therapy was also observed...

introduction: measurement of diabetes management effectiveness includes the process of care and its quality, health outcome and response to care before everything; it needs a conceptual framework about this universal disease. minimum data set (mds) of diabetes make this framework by using standard data element with unique definition and effectiveness indicators preparation of diabetes managemen...

conclusions adherence to the meddiet, according to mds and sofi-mds, may not predict mets components and mets incidence after 3 years of follow-up in iranian adult populations. results after adjusting for potential confounders, neither higher mds nor higher sofi-mds were significantly associated with the mean values of mets components and the risk of metabolic abnormalities incidence after 3 ye...

The purpose of this paper is to attain some optimality conditions for the identification of a diffusion matrix (material) under several restrictions. Assuming that the set of such diffusion matrices is closed for the H-convergence, we give a method to obtain admissible directions which applies to a not-necessarily convex control set. Our results permit obtaining the diffusion matrix from the st...

myelodysplastic syndrome (mds), is a group of heterogeneous disorders of hematopoietic stem cell colonies which is determined by incomplete hematopoiesis in one or more cell lines. the incidence increases with age and it has less been reported among patients under 50 years of age. the commonest form of mds is sporadic, and familial occurrence of mds is rare. patients with familial mds are young...
