purpose: to evaluate the early and intermediate outcomes of ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in pediatric glaucoma at labbafinejad medical center. methods: this was a retrospective chart review of 101 eyes of 80 consecutive patients with pediatric glaucoma who underwent ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. success was defined as an intraocular pressure less than 21 mmhg with or without medicatio...

Autologous chondrocyte implantation is an option in the treatment of full-thickness chondral or osteochondral injuries which are symptomatic. The goal of surgery and rehabilitation is the replacement of damaged cartilage with hyaline or hyaline-like cartilage, producing improved levels of function and preventing early osteoarthritis. The intermediate results have been promising in terms of func...

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as 3 or more consecutive pregnancy failures, is a common and distressing disorder. Chromosome instability in the conceptus is the most common cause whereas uterine factors are invariably invoked to explain nonchromosomal miscarriages. These uterine factors are, however, poorly defined. Materials amd Methods: Laboratory-based analysis of endome...

Résumé. La plateforme FODOMUST 1 est une implantation concrète des méthodes, librairies et interfaces proposées au sein d’ICube. Elle intègre une version multisource de la méthode de classification collaborative multistratégie SAMARAH. Elle propose aussi un ensemble d’algorithmes de segmentation soit propres à ICUBE soit faisant appel à l’OTB. Enfin, trois interfaces dédiées chacune à un type d...

background: to achieve multiple oocytes for in vitro fertilization, ovulation induction is induced by gonadotropins however, it has several effects on oocytes and embryo quality and endometrium receptivity. the aim of this study was to assess ultrastructural changes of corpus luteum after ovarian induction using human menopausal gonadotropin (hmg) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) during l...

among patients with chronic unrelieved pain, war veterans of eight years long iraq - iran war deserve especial attention. they not only suffer from severe intractable pain but also should bear some intangible consequences of unrelieved pain and severe disability. this perspective study reviews the outcome of implantation of intrathecal opioid pumps in these patients. ten war veterans (mean age ...

background: pinopodes are suggested as biological markers of uterine receptivity, but their molecular components are unknown. objective: co-expression of galectin-3 and ?v?3 integrin at human pinopodes has been examined in this study to propose a role for them during adhesion phase of embryo implantation. materials and methods: biopsies were obtained from early and mid luteal phase endometrium ...

Severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) in a multimorbid 77 year old female was treated with transapical aortic valve implantation with a 23 mm Edwards Sapien valve. Severe valvular regurgitation following implantation, probably due to structural valve failure, was treated successfully with a second valve-in-valve implantation. During a follow-up time of 2,5 years no further problems occurred.

Background: It is known that acetylation level of the nuclear histones in cloned embryos is lower compare to normally developed embryos. Histone deacetylas inhibitors (HDACi) with improvement of acetylation level in these embryos can affect embryo quality in pre-implantation stage and expression level of different genes especially developmental genes. Materials and Methods: In this research, SA...

BACKGROUND Infection after total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the serious complications which must be pursued with a very effective therapeutic concept. In most cases this means revision arthroplasty, in which one-setting and two-setting procedures are distinguished. Healing of infection is the conditio sine qua non for re-implantation. This retrospective work presents an assessment of the ...
