background: aggressive fibromatosis is a rare benign tumor with no potential for metastasis; however, its aggressive nature causes treatment failure and episodes of recurrence. there is no report from iran about the treatment of this tumor, and all published articles are single-case reports, therefore in this study, we report our experience from two of the largest referral centers of the south ...

introduction: advantages of endodontic treatments over tooth extraction have increased the demands for these treatments. success rate of these treatments is generally lower than the primary root canal therapies. recently, single visit treatments have gained more popularity. but, the influence of completing retreatment in a single appointment on success of the treatment is still a controversy. t...

this paper concerns the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain fractional-order non-autonomous systems. in this regard, a single input active control approach is proposed for control and stabilization of three-dimensional uncertain fractional-order systems. the robust controller is designed on the basis of fractional lyapunov stability theory. furthermore, the effects of model uncertainti...

background: half of the cases of vision loss in people under 60 years of age have been attributed to age-related macular degeneration (amd). this is a multifactorial disease with late onset. it has been demonstrated that many different genetic loci are implicated in the risk of developing amd in different populations. in the current study, we investigated the association of high-temperature ‎re...

in this paper, we report on the synthesis of cu nanoparticles through a single-precursor route by controlling the growth temperature. selective adsorption of oleylamine on various crystal planes may play an important role in the growth process. the understanding of this self-assembling process will help us develop reliable and reproducible methods to synthesis other three dimensional nanostruct...

conclusions in the absence of associated anomalies, the risk of incidence of adverse events does not appear to be increased significantly with isolated sua. therefore, supplementary assessment and invasive tests are not recommended in fetuses with isolated sua, unless fetal abnormalities are detected in routine evaluations. background the umbilical cord normally consists of two arteries and one...

background: cytokines and specially interferon-gamma (ifn-g) are largely responsible for the regulation of the protective im­mune response against mycobacterial infections. several studies have clarified the importance of common variants of ifn- g gene regarding the susceptibility to tuberculosis. bacille calmette-guérin (bcg) vaccine that is used to prevent se­vere forms of tuberculosis could ...
