S N INCE THE INCEPTION of positron emission tomography (PET) several decades ago, PET canner design and performance have improved ramatically. The number of detector elements has ncreased from 20 to 20,000 and the axial field f view from 2 to 20 cm, the spatial resolution as improved from 25 to 5 mm, and the ensitivity has increased 1000-fold.1,2 At the ame time, the clinical applications of PE...

to evaluate the prognostic significance of clinicopathological measurement in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (mi) in sheep, acute mi was induced by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery (lad). for this purpose, twenty four healthy sheep were divided into the sham-operated or control group (group i, thoracotomy without mi) and the experimental group (group ii, with m...

Background: The description on patients with pigmented back patches is rarely reported in the literature. We decided to study the clinicopathological aspects of these patients for reaching a better understanding of this disease.Method: In this study, the clinicopathological aspects and probable responsible factors in the manifestation of posterior pruritic pigmented patches in patients referred...

Background & Objective: In Triple-Negative Breast Cancers (TNBCs), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2/neu genes are not expressed. Fibroblastic Growth Factor Receptor-1 (FGFR1) gene product is a protein that acts as a receptor of thyrosin kinase. It plays a role in the proliferation, differentiation, and migration of malignant cells. The objective was t...

Background & Objective: Our knowledge about correlation of androgen receptor expression and clinicopathological properties of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients is inadequate, particularly in the Iranian population. The main aim of the present study was to assess the AR expression in TNBC Iranian patients and evaluate its correlation with their clinicopathological pa...

aim: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of intronic polymorphism of the smad7 (mothers against decantaplegic homolog 7) gene (rs2337104) on the risk of colorectal cancer (crc) and clinicopathological features in an iranian population background : smad7 has been identified as an antagonist of transforming growth factor beta (tgf-b)-mediating fibrosis, carcinogenesis, and inf...
