background stroke is the second cause of death and disability in the world, and oxidative stress which could be considered as a prognostic factor in patients for prevention, follow up and determination of stroke’s severity has a conceivable role in neural damage. objectives the aim of our study was to explain the association between oxidant/antioxidant imbalance as a prognostic factor in patien...

The τ Herculid meteor shower has not shown any appreciable activity since 1930. However, it is associated with Comet 73P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 3, a Jupiter-family comet that split in 1995. The fragments will pass near the Earth on 2006 May 13, and could produce an outburst of the τ Herculid shower. However, by considering both meteoroids released during the splitting event and on previous perihe...

This is a retrospective study on 162 node-negative patients, with both biochemical and clinical factors being measured for determination of prognostic markers. Steroid receptors were measured on all tumors, while tumor size, histological grade, ploidy status, and cell cycle kinetics indicators could not be found or measured on 25 or less of the patient group. The primary focus of this study was...

Objective(s) Comparison of prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) assay with crocin assay. Materials and Methods Twenty eight serum samples were chosen, PAB and the total antioxidant capacity were measured by PAB assay and crocin, respectively, and the correlation of both assays, along with their correlation with other clinical and biochemical parameters, were determined. Results A significa...
