background: breast cancer is the most common malignancy in females worldwide. several etiological factors including environmental factors have been recognized for breast cancer. epstein barr virus as a viral etiological factor has been proposed. so far, several studies have investigated the relationship between development of breast cancer and epstein barr virus, but few have been done in iran....

Background Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects almost a large percent of the world’s adult population. Antibody prevalence rates reach 95% or higher among elderly individuals. Even in the pediatric population, Epstein Barr infection is common. Young children most likely acquire primary EBV infection from close contact that involves exchange of oral secretions via shared items such as toys, bottles...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether the Epstein-Barr virus is present in synovial membranes and subcutaneous nodules of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS A sensitive in situ hybridisation technique was applied to tissue sections of 11 synovial membranes and five rheumatoid nodules. RESULTS Cells carrying the Epstein-Barr virus were not detected using EBER and BHLF1 oligonucleotides in...

In a market with stochastic investment opportunities, we study an optimal consumption investment problem for an agent with recursive utility of Epstein-Zin type. Focusing on the empirically relevant specification where both risk aversion and elasticity of intertemporal substitution are in excess of one, we characterize optimal consumption and investment strategies via backward stochastic differ...

Epstein syndrome constitutes macrothrombocytopenia without neutrophil inclusion bodies along with deafness and renal failure. A diagnosis of Epstein syndrome was made in a 17 year-old-male patient with macrothrombopathic thrombocytopenia, renal failure and sensorineural hearing loss. Our patient is unique as he presented with rapidly progressive renal failure and developed chronic kidney diseas...

Purpose We hereby describe a case of persistent cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and retinitis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) that was successfully treated with infusion CMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) despite previous treatment Epstein Bar Virus (EBV) -specific CTL, which occurred 5 months earlier. Observations Following several anti- viral medication tri...

background & aim: multiple sclerosis(ms) is the most common inflammatory disease of central nervous system which is caused by an autoimmune process leading to destruction of myelin sheath. in this disease, cd4+ t–lymphocytes, mostly of th1 phenotype, play important roles in destruction of neuronal tissues.  because of the probable etiologic participation of ebv virus in immunopathogenesis of ms...
