conclusions race, age, body surface area, chronic kidney disease, cyp2c9*3 level, and vkorc1 variants could affect the dose of warfarin. to administer the proper doses of warfarin, patients and physicians might achieve the best results with the pharmacologist proficient anticoagulation database and recommended continuation program. owing to its’ unpredictability, caution must be taken when pres...

conclusions in this investigation, the prevalence of hpv infection was relatively substantial. totally, 17 different hpv genotypes were detected and the most frequently detected genotypes were hpv6, hpv11, hpv16, hpv18 and hpv52, respectively. the data from this study is essential for planning future public health strategies including hpv vaccination programs. results no statistical association...

Many plant species have been introduced to new continents, but only a small subset of these have become invasive. It has been predicted that self-compatible species, particularly those that do not need the services of pollinators, are more likely to establish and spread after long-distance dispersal. We tested whether this hypothesis, commonly called Baker's law, applies to 361 species that hav...

We present a novel optimal allocation model for perennial plants, in which assimilates are not allocated directly to vegetative or reproductive parts but instead go first to a storage compartment from where they are then optimally redistributed. We do not restrict considerations purely to periods favourable for photosynthesis, as it was done in published models of perennial species, but analyse...

background: hepatitis b virus (hbv) gene and protein variations are frequently been seen in chronic patients. the aims of study were to determine the genotypes as well as the patterns of variations distribution in chronically-infected patients from the central part of iran. methods: the surface gene was amplified, sequenced and subsequently aligned using international and national iranian datab...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to characterize the hepatitis b virus surface protein genotypes and sequence variations among hepatitis b virus surface antigen (hbsag) positive chronic patients in hormozgan province, south of iran. materials and methods a total of 8 patients enrolled in this study. the surface gene was amplified and directly sequenced. genotypes and nucleotide/amino acid...

hepatitis c virus (hcv) has chronically infected million peoples worldwide. spontaneous viral clearance occurs in 25% of affected patients.  the standard regimen to treat hcv infection is the combination of pegylated interferon and ribavirin.

background and aims: chronic hepatitis c is one of the most important etiologies of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. clinical condition of hepatic patients and the outcome of chemotherapy are under impact of hepatitis c virus (hcv) genotypes. therefore, hcv genotyping is important for prediction of success of chemotherapy and progression of liver diseases. methods: in this arti...
