In this paper we introduce and study a family An(q) of abelian subgroups of GLn(q) covering every element of GLn(q). We show that An(q) contains all the centralizers of cyclic matrices and equality holds if q > n. For q > 2, we obtain an infinite product expression for a probabilistic generating function for |An(q)|. This leads to upper and lower bounds which show in particular that c1q −n ≤ |A...

Here we report the case of a patient with cutaneous leishmaniasis, who was referred to our clinic in Yazd, Iran. On examining the patient, who was a housekeeper, we found a small plaque in the palmoplantar region due to cutaneous leishmaniasis. She had not any history from an identical case in this patient. After treatment, the lesions improved.

Plasmapheresis means elimination of plasma and replacement of it with other liquids. Effect of this treatment is confirmed in more than 50 diseases like myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and TTP. This cross sectional study was done on 25 myasthenia gravis patients referred to Shahid Sadoughi hospital, Yazd, Iran 2004-2007. We report 22 myasthenia gravis patients' response to plasmapher...

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis may present with clinical presentation such as zosteriform, sporotrichoid and erysipeloid. The eczema variant has rarely been reported. We report a 27- year- old patient with atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis resembling eczema on the hand of a man in Yazd province in the central of Iran.

Nephrolithiasis was incidentally diagnosed in 2 Arabian horses, a young foal and an adult mare, from Maybod, Yazd province, Iran. The foal had bilateral neophrolithiasis, as multiple sand like stones in renal papillary area. Large nephroliths were found in the left kidney of mare. Prominent composition of those nephroliths was magnesium ammonium phosphate. Risk factors and other aspects of neph...

BACKGROUND Despite recent valuable steps in initiating a cancer registry in Iran, data depicting prevalence, incidence, and clinical picture of pancreatic tumors in the country are exceedinglyly sparse. With the aim of filling this knowledge gap, we reviewed cases in the pathology archive of Shahid Sadoughi hospital (Yazd, Iran), between 2001 and 2011. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of...

BACKGROUND The main aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of depression and general anxiety of the prisoners of war (POW) children. The study was also designed to compare the prevalence of depression and general anxiety amongst the POW's children and normal adults, 20 years after the Iraq-Iran war. METHOD An analytic cross-sectional study carried out in June 2009 in Yazd (the centre ...
