background coronary artery diseases (cad) are associated with psychological problems such as anxiety and depression in patients. thus, management of these problems can consider as an important intervention by health care workers, especially nurses. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of patient-focused clinical pathway on anxiety, depression and satisfactio...

objective(s):intermittent hypoxia (ih), caused by obstructive sleep apnea (osa), could cause hippocampus or neuron damage through multiple signaling pathways, while the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. thus, the present study aimed to explore the effect of ih on the biological functions of microglia cells. materials and methods:cell proliferation of bv2 cells after exposure to ih were o...

titanium dioxide is one kind of important materials, which has been extensively investigated because of its unique electronic and optical properties. a large number of efforts have been made to synthesize tio2 materials with different methods. in this review paper, we summarize the synthesis pathways, morphology, as well as crystallization of the nanostructured tio2. in addition, we also mentio...

fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum l.) has a long and respected history of medicinal uses in middle east and persian medicine. the hypocholesterolaemic and hypoglycaemic effects of fenugreek were attributed to its major steroidal sapogenin, diosgenin and its major alkaloid, trigonelline. the knowledge of diosgenin and trigonelline biosynthesis is derived from studies of cholesterol and nicoti...

results in the first three years, the team managed the care of 812 admissions. mean age wasn 44.3 years (sd = 24.8) and mean length of hospital stay was 6.1 days (sd = 10.9). ofn these individuals, 674 attended for 6 month follow-up with 52.2% having a good outcomen on extended glasgow outcome score. patients and their relatives' feedbacks weren excellent with an average score of 4.7/5 on overa...

personalized medicine is a set of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic approaches in which medical interventions are carried out based on individual patient characteristics. as life expectancy increases in developed and developing countries, the incidence of diseases such as cancer goes up among people in the community. cancer is a disease that the response to treatment varies from one person...

results like other cancers, prostate cancer is caused by an accumulation of genetic alterations in a cell that drives it to malignant growth. specific genes and gene alterations have been suggested to play a role in its development and progression. aneuploidy, loss of heterozygosity, gene mutations, hypermethylation and inactivation of specific tumour suppressor genes such as gstpi, apc, mdr1, ...

introduction: quoting an article in well-known textbooks is held as a credit for that paper. the numbers of iranian publications mentioned in endodontic textbooks have increased during recent years. the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the number of iranian articles quoted in eminent endodontic text books. methods and materials: three known textbooks ( ingle’s endodontics, seltzer and ...

it is clear that colorectal cancer (crc) develops through multiple genetic and epigenetic pathways. these pathways may be determined on the basis of three molecular features: (i) mutations in dna mismatch repair genes, leading to a dna microsatellite instability (msi) phenotype, (ii) mutations in apc and other genes that activate wnt pathway, characterized by chromosomal instability (cin) pheno...
