aim : in this study, we aimed to estimate one- to five-year survival rates in iranian patients with gastric cancer (gc). in addition, we preformed subgroup analyses and meta-regression to explore possible sources of heterogeneity between studies.   background : according to literatures, there has been increasing attention to the long-term survival rate in patients with gc in iran. however, resu...

to compare the reproductive performance of the wild and cultured stocks of beluga, huso huso males, some spermatological parameters were measured including: sperm motility, sperm density, spermatocrit and also fertilization rate, hatching rate and larval growth and survival rates. the semen samples were sampled from 11 wild spawners and 12 cultured brooders. a half of each semen sample was allo...

the development times and the survival rates of different stages of habrobracon hebetor say reared on the last instar larvae of galleria mellonella (l.) were compared at ten different constant temperatures (16 - 38 âºc). the development time of immature stages of the parasitoid, h. hebetor, decreased as the temperature increased in the range of 16 to 38 âºc. however, no larvae could survive and...

OBJECTIVE Energy drinks (EDs) are widely consumed products of the beverage industry and are often chosen by teenagers and young adults. Several adverse cardiovascular events and malignant cardiac arrhythmias following consumption of EDs have been reported in the literature. Several studies have suggested that the interval from the peak to the end of the electrocardiographic T wave (Tp-e) may co...

background: allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) is a curative treatment option for many patients with acute myeloid leukemia (aml); however, it can lead to complications of graft-versus-host-disease (gvhd) which can affect the quality of life and overall survival. the aim of this study was to assess the effects of both acute and chronic gvhd on survival rate in patients wi...

background: esophageal cancer is often diagnosed in the last stages where the chance of patient’s survival is very low. the aim of this systematic review was presentation of valid estimation of survival in patients with esophageal cancer in different regions of iran. methods: a systematic review was carried out based on the reliable domestic medical databases including: sid, magiran, irandoc an...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of beta plus probiotic, a mixture of bacillius leicheniformic and bacillius subtilis , on the growth performance and intestinal microbial flora of caspian trout ( salmo caspius ). a basal diet was formulated and supplemented with beta plus at 0, 0.5 and 1 g kg -1 , leading to three experimental diets. each experimental diet was randomly assigned ...

background breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. based on the latest iranian national cancer department report, the total number of women registered with breast cancer was 6976 cases during 2007. five year survival is one of the indicators used for evaluation of the quality for care to different types of malignancies including breast cancer. objectives the aim of this s...

Many conditions affect the reproductive health of the beef herd, including nutrition, bull fertility, and environmental stresses. Perhaps none have the potential to create more significant losses than infectious diseases. Infectious diseases affecting reproduction can create losses all throughout the reproductive cycle by decreasing ovulation rates, fertilization rates, embryonic survival rates...
