conclusion various filters are needed to improve the image quality. in this study, seven different filters were implemented and investigated on both noisy and noise-free images. background developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) can be detected with ultrasonography (usg) images. however, the accuracy of this method is dependent on the skill of the radiologist. radiologists measure the hip join...

objectives: ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome (eec) is a rare syndrome with features of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip/palate. this study presents an iranian case with classic features and oral complications.   case: we report a 20-year old female with all manifestations of this syndrome. the simultaneous presence of these three malformations is extremely rar...

Esophageal cancer remains a highly lethal malignancy for which the genetic and proteomic events are poorly understood. Studies have reported dysregulated proteins in esophageal carcinoma; however, the magnitude of these changes remains largely uncharacterized. Little is known about alterations early in the neoplastic pathway. Using multiplex tissue immunoblotting, we quantified the expression o...

Objectives: E-cadherin is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which is responsible for cell adhesion and its expression decreases in dysplastic lesions. This study aimed to assess the expression of this marker in oral lichen planus (OLP) with and without dysplasia to assess its potential for use as a predictor of malignant transformation. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study w...

This review focuses on the pathological features of dysplasia in Barrett’s oesophagus. Two categorisation schemes are used for grading dysplasia in the gastrointestinal tract, including Barrett’s oesophagus. The inflammatory bowel disease dysplasia morphology study group system is the one most commonly used in the USA. However, some European and most far Eastern countries use the Vienna classif...

background bronchopulmonary dysplasia (bpd) is one of the most common serious squeal of preterm infants. it involves approximately one quarter of infants with birth weight less than 1500 grams and 30% of less than 1000 grams. vitamin a has been shown to reduce bpd rate. we compared efficacy of low and high doses of vitamin a for prevention of bpd in very low birth weight preterm infants. materi...

mccune-albright syndrome (mas) is a rare, heterogenous, clinical condition caused by a rare genetic mutation. the disorder is more common in females and is characterized by a triad of cutaneous, bone and endocrine abnormalities.  we describe a girl patient with mas having precocious puberty and multiple cafe-au-lait macules and deforming polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of bone. clinical presentat...

the ellis-van creveld (evc) syndrome is a chondroectodermal dysplasia and is characterized by the cardinal features of disproportionate short stature, polydactyly, hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and congenital heart malformations, along with other skeletal and dental abnormalities. it is a rare condition, with very few cases reported in the medical literature. it is inherited as an autosomal re...
