b a ckground:  to compare the oxidative stress (os) factors in obese and non- obese subjects with type 2 diabetes (t2d) and to evaluate the interaction between the apolipoprotein a-ii (apo a-ii) - 265t > c polymorphism and body mass index (bmi) on os factors. m ethods : in this comparative cross-sectional study, 21 diabetes centers in tehran, iran were studied. 180 patients with t2d were divide...

osteosarcoma (os) is the eighth common cancer of childhood and its incidence is 4 cases in one million in children younger than 14. facial os incidence is estimated between 8 and 10% of os cases. the main etiology of os is unknown, but various predisposing factors are proposed such as radiation, radiotherapy, some benign bone diseases like paget’s disease or fibrous dysplasia. there is a 5-year...

The basic virtual memory-mapped communication (VMMC) model provides protected, direct communication between the sender's and receiver's virtual address spaces, but it does not support high-level connection-oriented communication APIs well. This paper presents VMMC-2, an extension to the basic VMMC. We describe the design, implementation , and evaluate the performance of three mechanisms in VMMC...

Background: Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy has long been established as a standard treatment for HER2-positive patients in early stage breast cancer (BC). The present study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of trastuzumab adjuvant therapy in early stage BC in overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).    Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was ...

introduction: this paper used generalized gamma (gg) distribution to find the predictive factors of overall survival (os) after haematopoietic stem cell transplant (hsct) in acute myeloid  leukemia patients. methods: discrimination among the exponential, weibull, gg, log-logistic, and lognormal distributions was done using maximum likelihood and akaike information criteria. results: the 5-year ...

introduction: the traditional goal of the treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia is to produce and maintain a complete remission (cr).the difference in survival time was entirely attributable to the duration of time spent in cr .in this study, the outcome of aml patients with allogeneic hsct in cr1 versus other than cr1 was compared. patients and methods: since march 1991 until november 2008, ...
