Objective(s) There are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (IR) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. The aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal IR. Materials and Methods Inbred mice in IR donor group were subjected to renal IR injury. In sham don...

Background: Despite the increased demand of donor oocyte treatment, little is known about the experience of donor oocyte recipient women and how they perceive motherhood especially in Iran, due to the cultural, social, and religious situation. The aim of this study is to recognize the recipient women

background: damage to spermatogenic and fertility disorders are among major side effects of chemotography drugs such as busulfan. to reduce the side effects of these drugs different methods such as protecting and fixing germinal cell epithelium, while employing chemotherapy are used. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous melatonin on the treatment of oligospermic in s...

Background Reproductive dysfunction and endocrine disorders are common among men with complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin. Diminished sexual desire and responsiveness along with decreased libido and less orgasm are frequently described in men with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). It appears that the reduced fertility in epileptic men is accompanied by erectile dysfunction and abnormal...

Background and Objectives: After the introduction of the pneumococcal vaccine, an increase has been observed in the disease due to nonspecific stereotypes of the vaccine. This study was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of pneumococcal vaccine coverage and common stereotypes of streptococcus pneumonia after vaccine introduction in the vaccine recipient countries.   Methods: The ...

Mineral physicist Steven Jacobsen uses high pressure-temperature experimental techniques to investigate the properties of mantle mineral phases such as ringwoodite, the blue crystal (left) pictured through the top of a diamond-anvil cell. Jacobsen’s studies will help EPS seismologist Suzan van der Lee map the Earth’s interior as they attempt to identify the driving forces behind plate tectonics...
