conclusions the administration of curcumin in patients undergoing dialysis had no positive effects on enhancing lvef and lv function. further research is required to shed sufficient light on this issue. results the mean age was 44.2 ± 13.4 years for the curcumin group and 45.4 ± 6.2 years for the placebo group. the study population comprised 22 male and 13 female patients. there were no signifi...

background: acute myocardial infarction (ami) is the leading cause of disability and death in iran and many other countries. objective: to investigate the prognostic value of ccl5 and ccl18 in patients with acute myocardial ischemia. methods: in this cohort study we recruited and followed 50 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction (aami) for developing cardiovascular accidents in a 6...

Objective(s): This study considered the combination of chitosan nanoparticles with antioxidant-antibacterial fraction extracted from Lactobacillus casei and investigation of possible increasing of antibacterial activity of the fraction in hybrid nanoparticle and the effect of the fraction on the stability of chitosan nanoparticles. Methods: Extra...

It has been noted that there is ambiguity in the expression "attributable fraction," and epidemiologic literature has drawn a distinction between "excess fraction" and "etiologic fraction." These quantities do not necessarily approximate one another, and the etiologic fraction is not generally estimable without strong biologic assumptions. In previous studies, researchers have explained the rel...

We use a continued fraction expansion of the sign-function in order to obtain a five dimensional formulation of the overlap lattice Dirac operator. Within this formulation the inverse of the overlap operator can be calculated by a single Krylov space method where nested conjugate gradient procedures are avoided. We show that the five dimensional linear system can be made well conditioned using ...

Introduction: Stereotactic body radiotherapy delivers hypofractionated irradiation with high dose per fraction through complex treatment techniques. The increased complexity leads to longer dose delivery times for each fraction. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of prolonged fraction delivery time with high-dose hypofractionation on the killing of cultured ACHN cells.Method...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to prepare fraction and determine the biological activities of the polyphenol-enriched fraction of Berberis integerrima Bunge fruits. Materials and Methods: In this assay fraction was extracted by column chromatography, using Amberlite column as the stationary phase. Phenol and flavonoids in the extract and fraction were analyzed by high performance liqui...
