objectives: the iranian cancer network was established in may 2003. our aim was to coordinate re search and treatment programs in all cancer centers in iran in order to save time and money and enable patients, wherever they live, to receive a uniformly high-standard treatment and care. methods: after signing a mutual contract with fellow (collaborator) university and holding some shared session...

background: it is now well-demonstrated that histone demethylases play an important role in developmental controls, cell-fate decisions, and a variety of diseases such as cancer. lysine-specific demethylase 5d (kdm5d) is a male-specific histone demethylase that specifically demethylates di- and tri-methyl h3k4 at the start site of active genes. in this light, the aim of this study was to invest...

background: prostate cancer is one of the most widespread cancers in men and is fundamentally a genetic disease. identifying regulators in cancer using novel systems biology approaches will potentially lead to new insight into this disease. it was sought to address this by inferring gene regulatory networks (grns). moreover, dynamical analysis of grns can explain how regulators change among dif...

background prostate cancer is a serious genetic disease known as the first widespread cancer in men, yet the molecular changes required for the cancer progression is not fully understood. availability of high-throughput gene expression data has led to the development of various computational methods for the identification of critical genes involved in the cancer. methods in this paper, we show ...

background : the data related to patients often have very useful information that can help us to resolve a lot of problems and difficulties in different areas. this study was performed to present a model-based data mining to predict lung cancer in 2014. methods : in this exploratory and modeling study, information was collected by two methods: library and field methods. all gathered variables w...

the main objective in classification of the nmr spectra of cancerous and healthy tissue , with high number of features is the prerequisites of the minimum number of samples. therefore the use of conventional classifier on this type of the data is not recommended. in the current work, different structures of the artificial neural networks (ann) were tried on classification of different cancerous...

background and purpose: undoubtedly, social networks are being used extensively and are the most important communicative tool among students, especially at higher levels of education. we aimed to investigate the effect of social networks on education and academic learning. methods: this quasi-experimental study was conducted on 32 nursing students who were taking the cancer nursing course at ke...
