Background: Thromboembolism (TE) in pediatric population is rare but may be a fatal situation. There is a lack of clinical guidelines to help decision making for the use of prophylactic measures in pediatrics. This study was designed to evaluate current guidelines and risk factors for the prevention of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE) in children. Materials and Methods: Th...

Introduction: Cisplatin (CP) therapy may disturb cardiovascular system control. The objective of this study was to find baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in CP-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods: Eighteen male and female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to two groups treated with CP (2.5 mg/kg/day) and the vehicle, for five consecutive days, and then were subjected to surgical ...

Background: Changes in body composition may be used for monitoring progression/ regression of a disease. Prompt γ-rays in vivo neutron activation analysis (IVNAA) has been widely used for the measurement of body composition in recent years.Objective: In this paper, we tried to improve the safety of IVNAA operator.Methods: The most important factor for reducing the operator receiving dose is th...

conclusions the pe gene was successfully cloned and confirmed by sequencing. finally, pe was obtained with high concentration. due to high homology and similarity among the pe gene from nthi atcc 49766 and other nthi strains in genbank, we believe that the protein is a universal antigen to be used as a vaccine design candidate and further studies to evaluate its immunogenicity is underway. mate...

background: pre-eclampsia (pe) is one of the most important and life-threatening pregnancy disorders that affect at least 3-5% of all pregnancies. imbalance in helper t cell functions may play a role in predisposing to pe or severity of the disease. elevated frequencies of th17 cells in the peripheral blood of pe patients have been reported. several single nucleotide polymorphisms (snp) within ...

OBJECTIVES In a previous study, we have described the predictive value of first-trimester Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-A (PAPP-A), free β-subunit of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (fβ-hCG), Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) and A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease 12 (ADAM12) for early onset preeclampsia (EO-PE; delivery <34 weeks). The objective of the current study was to obtain the predictive...
