Traumatic brain injury is considered as one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Apart from primary mechanical injury, Secondary injuries due to inflammation and apoptosis result in great neuronal damage. Current treatments are not able to regenerate the damaged part and prevent future sequels. Using human stem cells with self-assembling scaffolds may be promising in treatme...

Introduction: Brain injury is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and so far, there has been no absolute treatment for the damaged brain tissue. Using human stem cells with self-assembling scaffolds can be a promising method for treatment of traumatic brain injury. Materials and Methods: Human meningioma stem cells were isolated, cultured and then expanded into in vitro cond...

Cancer is a major global problem and is the second leading cause of mortality in the developed countries.Resistance to current chemotherapeutics and high incidence of adverse effects are the two principal reasons for developing new anticancer agents. Phenylacetamide derivatives can act as potential anticancer agents. Synthesis and screening of 2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives in...

A high coronary artery calcification score (CACS) may be associated with mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Recently, effects of iron on vascular smooth muscle cell calcificat...

Abstract Background Prevalence of hereditary blood diseases such as sickle cell anemia, sickle thalassemia and thalassemia major are high in Khuzestan province. Sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia are predominantly common in Iranian Arabs. Pulmonary complications account for a large proportion of morbidity and mortality in patients with and sickle cell disease. Periodic lung function asse...

background: the incidence of rudimentary heterotopic uterine horn pregnancy varies from 1:76,000 to 1:140,000. however the incidence of twin pregnancy i.e. intrauterine pregnancy in unicornuate uterus and its associated rudimentary horn pregnancy is estimated to be around 1 in 10 million gestations. case: here, we present 19 year old pramigravida women with acute haemoperitoneum with diagnosis ...

Background Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major infectious cause of mortality in preschool children especially in developing countries. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) has been associated with poor outcomes of CAP. We aimed to determine whether admission stress hyperglycemia and RDW can predict mortality in preschool children with CAP for early identification of patients at risk of ...
