background: thalassemia is probably the most common single gene disorder causing a major public health problem in the world. currently, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) is the only curative therapy for thalassemia. one major limitation of hsct is the lack of hla-identical sibling donors, so attention has turned to finding phenotypically matched unrelated donors. patients...

Background and Aims: The indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The presence of integrons in Pseudomonas is clearly associated with multidrug resistances. Therefore, this study aimed at tracking class I, II and III integrons of antibiotic-resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa th...

Addressed is the uplink access control problems for cellular CDMA systems that service heterogeneous traac with various types of quality-of-service (QoS) and use Multi-Code CDMA (MC-CDMA) to support variable bit rates. Considering its distinct QoS requirements, class-I real-time traac (e.g., voice and video) is diierentiated from class-II non-real-time traac (e.g., data). Connection-oriented tr...

Background: The high polymorphism in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes can be used as an identity of individuals to compare with other populations. This extreme polymorphism in the HLA system is accountable for the differences in alleles and haplotypes among ethnic groups, populations, and the inhabitants of many regions. Objective: To define the frequency of HLA alleles and haplotypes am...

background: non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) includes a wide range of diseases with different clinical and biological features. nhl is usually presented as localized or generalized lymphadenopathy. it has been suggested that the hla class i and ii are associated with susceptibility to nhl. different ethnic groups have been found to have different hla class i and ii alleles which affect nhl. objective...

background and aims: the indiscriminate use of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance in the treatment of infections caused by bacteria such as pseudomonas aeruginosa. the presence of integrons in pseudomonas is clearly associated with multidrug resistances. therefore, this study aimed at tracking class i, ii and iii integrons of antibiotic-resistant isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa th...
