Behavioral studies suggest a relationship between autobiographical memory, rumination and depression. The objective of this study was to determine whether remitted depressed patients show alterations in connectivity of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC, a node in the default mode network) with the parahippocampal gyri (PHG, a region associated with autobiographical memory) while intensively r...

Severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction (SCAR) is considered to be a multifactorial drug side effect. This study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A and -B gene polymorphisms in pediatric patients with SCAR admitted in tertiary referral center, southwestern of Iran from 2013 to 2017. Demographic data, past allergy and autoimmune history, clinical pres...

Investigations of cognitive patterns among individuals who have recovered from a depressive episode (i.e., remitted depressives) have figured importantly in evaluations of the validity of the vulnerability hypotheses of the cognitive theories of depression. However, we suggest that remitted depression studies as typically conducted and interpreted are inadequate tests of the cognitive vulnerabi...

Results: Coverage for BCG, OPV3, DPT3 & Measles were 92.04%, 85.23%, 83.71% & 82.20% respectively. BCG scar was seen in 83.95% of children out of those who received BCG. The proportions of fully immunized children were 79.55%. Unimmunized children were 4.16%. Dropout rate was 9.05% for BCG-DPT3, 10.69% for BCG-Measles & 7.53% for DPT1-DPT3. Compared to NFHS3 (2005-06) as well as DLHS3 (Gandhina...

BACKGROUND Validation of voltage-based scar delineation has been limited to small populations using mainly endocardial measurements. The aim of this study is to compare unipolar voltage amplitudes (UnipV) with scar on delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR). METHODS Heart failure patients who underwent DE-CMR and electro-anatomic mapping were included. Thirty-three end...

endometriosis is defined as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. it mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. this condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. we are reporting one case of scar endometriosis invol...

Scar endometriosis is a rare form of extra-pelvic endometriosis that can occur after surgery involving the uterus. Direct mechanical implantation seems to be the most conceivable theory for scar endometriosis. Patient usually presents with lump and pain at surgical site. Often the diagnosis of endometriosis is not suggested until histology has been performed. We hereby present a case of scar en...

cesarean scar pregnancy (csp) is a rare, but life-threatening type of ectopic pregnancy. an exact and early diagnosis of csp is very important for prognosis. the aim of the present study was to describe 4 women with csp and discuss their clinical presentations, diagnoses, and various management options along with the published literature. four women with a suspicion of csp or cervical pregnancy...

objective (s): scar formation in injured peripheral nerve bed causes several consequences which impede the process of nerve regeneration. several animal models are used for scar induction in preclinical studies which target prevention and/or suppression of perineural scar. this study evaluates the translational capacity of four of physical injury models to induce scar formation around the sciat...
