We propose a recursive formula for computing the remainder of a Euclidean division of polynomials (with binary coefficients), which operates in parallel on w bits at a time and takes t new incoming bits at each stage. We use this formula to design a fast parallel Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) system which is a look-ahead scheme that trades in arbitrary depth (processing time per cycle) and thro...

The colorectal cancer (CRC) subtyping consortium has unified six independent molecular classification systems, based on gene expression data, into a single consensus system with four distinct groups, known as the consensus molecular subtypes (CMS); clinical implications are discussed in this review based on articles relevant to the CMS of CRC indexed in PubMed as well as the authors’ own ...

Background: Most cancer studies focus on exploring non-invasive biomarkers for cancer detection. In the present study, we sought to investigate the expression level of microRNA-21 (miR-21), as a potential diagnostic marker, in serum and stool samples from 40 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and 40 healthy controls. Methods: Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was applied to determine the relativ...

Introduction Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common cancers that involve human body. Young-onset CRC (YO-CRC) or early-onset (EO-CRC) defined as develops before age 50 years, opposed to diagnosed after 50, referred late-onset (LO-CRC). EO-CRC sparsely studied in our population. Therefore, this study, we evaluated clinicopathological parameters and biomarker profile compared them w...

Background and Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the consistency with which physiotherapists apply manual hyperinflation to a test lung using the AirViva-2 or Mapleson-B resuscitation circuit, and their ability to modify the technique as pulmonary characteristics change. Method: A quasi-experimental, randomized, repeatedmeasures design was used to study 16 volunteer physiotherapists ...

Background and Purpose. Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques aimed at improving lung volumes and secretion clearance in patients after surgery. Periodic continuous positive airway pressure (PCPAP) is used to treat patients following elective upper abdominal surgery. However, the optimal method of application has not been identified, more specifically, the dosage of application of PCPAP....

Background & Aims: Many studies have demonstrated that Vitamin D has an important role in cell growth and proliferation and vitamin D receptor polymorphism has significant relationship with colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of VDR rs 2238136 polymorphism in Iranian population and to investigate the relationship between this single nucleotide polymorphism...
