OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify imaging markers for genuine stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse by using magnetic resonance imaging and reconstructed 3-dimensional models. STUDY DESIGN Thirty women were studied, 10 with prolapse, 10 with genuine stress incontinence, and 10 asymptomatic volunteers. Axial and sagittal T1 and T2 weighted pelvic magnetic resonance scans ...

Introduction: Feedback is very important in education and can help quality in the training process and orient the trainees in clinical contexts. This study aimed to assess the residents’ points of view about feedback in clinical education at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.Methods: The sample of this study included 170 medical residents attending medical workshops in Shiraz University of ...

Data for 595 patients with severe aplastic anemia receiving HLA-identical sibling bone marrow transplants were analyzed to determine the effect of pretransplant conditioning and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis on outcome. Transplants were performed between 1980 and 1987 and reported to the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry. Three conditioning regimens (cyclophosphamide ...

Introduction: Feedback cards are recommended as a feasible toolfor structured written feedback delivery in clinical education whileeffectiveness of this tool on the medical students’ performanceis still questionable. The purpose of this study was to comparethe effects of structured written feedback by cards as well asverbal feedback versus verbal feedback alone on the clinicalperformance of med...

We present an algorithm that generates all (inclusion-wise) minimal feedback vertex sets of a directed graph G = (V, E). The feedback vertex sets of G are generated with a polynomial delay of O ( |V |(|V | + |E|) ) . We further show that the underlying technique can be tailored to generate all minimal solutions for the undirected case and the directed feedback arc set problem, both with a polyn...
