Background: In the case of a disastrous event, stress and anxiety often result in psychological diseases such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Health care providers even suffer from such disaster-related disorders. Psychological complications can negatively influence their ability in providing care. Thus, this study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Persian v...

the growth hormone receptor (ghr) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (gh) on target tissues. therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of tg-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine ghr gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (scs) in holstein cattle of iran. the part of 5’...

Second generation sequencing (SGS) may revolutionize the field of forensic STR typing. Two of the essential requirements for implementation of an SGS based approach for forensic investigations are (1) establishment of adequate frequency databases and (2) adoption of a new STR nomenclature. We report the STR sequences and allele frequencies of three STR loci: D3S1358, D12S391 and D21S11 in 197 u...

Analysis of micro- and minisatellite loci is widely used in sub-typing of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Microsatellite (short sequence repeat, SSR) loci have shown highest discriminatory power, but direct sequencing of amplicons is required for correct assignment of the repeat number. We developed an alternative method to sequencing, focusing on the SSR8 locus (constituted by GGT...

This used a sample 115 consumers spread across 33 stores data analysis technique Path Analysis.The results showed that seven sub-variables variables for services Bali had positive signifi...

background: routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. we figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not.   methods : we examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white b...

flood is one of the major natural disasters in iran, which is mostly, affected most parts of the country and caused hazards. therefore, identification of the area with high potential risk of flood occurrence is the main purpose in order to the flood control and reducing its damages. in this research the role of the flood routing in identification of the area with high potential flooding has inv...

Collision tumors of the sellar region are relatively uncommon and consist mainly of more than one type of pituitary adenoma or a cyst or cystic tumor. The association of a pituitary adenoma and a craniopharyngioma is particularly rare. This study describes a rare occurrence in which a pituitary adenoma and a craniopharyngioma coexisted in the sellar region. The case involves a 47-year-old woman...

In this Letter, we present B-scan-sectioned dynamic micro-optical coherence tomography (BD-MOCT) for high-quality sub-cellular contrast imaging. Dynamic (D-MOCT) is a functional optical (OCT) technique performed on high-resolution (micron level) OCT systems; hundreds of consecutive B-scans need to be acquired signal extraction, which requires relatively long data acquisition time. Bulk motions ...

INTRODUCTION The neurological manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency can occur as a result of peripheral nerve pathology or lateral and posterior column involvement, also known as "sub-acute combined degeneration". This case report demonstrates an unusual presentation of SCD with normal B12 level. CASE PRESENTATION A 39-year-old man was referred to the outpatient neurology clinic with a two ...
