asthma, who attended for the first time to Allergy Department and collected data on clinical history, respiratory function and allergic sensitization. Asthma severity was classified using the GINA guide. We integreted the data into regression models to identify allergen sensitization most strongly associated with asthma severity. Results: We included 260 children with ages ranging from 3 to 18 ...

Burt introduced 1983 'equivalent weighting function': \Iterative pyramid generation is equivalent to convolving the image g 0 with a set of 'equivalent weighting functions' h l :" g l = h l g 0 = h g l?1 ; l > 1. It allowed him to study the eeects of iterated reduction (e.g. the low-pass character of Gaussian pyramids) using the single parameter h l without giving up the eecient iterative compu...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to show the localization of estrogen / progesterone receptors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) and protein 53 (p53) by immunohistochemistry in a series of consecutive breast cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study covered invasive breast cancers from 299 patients presenting at the Oncogenetic Clinic and Pathology Centers of Ahwaz Jondishap...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate various cellular processes. While several genes associated with replicative senescence have been described in endothelial cells, miRNAs that regulate these genes remain largely unknown. The present study was designed to identify miRNAs associated with replicative senescence and their target genes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). An integrated miRNA...
