results a significant higher serum pab value was observed in shift working and daytime nurses (152.28 ± 43.64 hk) in comparison to the control group (63.64 ± 34.41 hk index), p value = 0.001. in day time nurses, also serum pab between male (119.09 ± 47.14 hk) and female (162.53 ± 37.02 hk) in nursing workers was significant, p value = 0.005. in the night shift working nurses, there was also a s...

Introduction: COPD is a common preventable disease characterized by airflow limitation that is not completely reversible.Acute exacerbation is prominent and serious features of COPD. Acute Exacerbation of COPD leads to hospitalization and concomitant with morbidity and mortality .The ventricular dysfunction increases serum Brain Natriuretic Peptide(BNP)  . This study was conducted to evaluate t...

background: most of the studies have reported higher occupational health hazâ­ards on hazardous waste workers (hww). however reports regarding the assoâ­ciation between health hazards and pro-inflammatory cytokines in hww are scanty. the present study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between occupational health hazards and serum pro-inflammatory cytokines in hww. methods: one hundred...

To investigate uterine and serum Ca++ and Mg++ variations during the estrous cycle in the bovine, 66 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from Urmia abattoir, Urmia, Iran. The phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examination of the structures present on ovaries and uterine tonicity. Of the collected samples, 17 were pro-estrus, 12 estrus, 14 metestrus and 23 diestrus. The ute...

Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a late progressive sclerodermarelated complication, which can lead to right heart failure and cor pulmonale. Given that cardiac catheterization is a diagnostic method of choice for PAH, and considering the high risks of this method, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum Pro‐Brain natriuretic peptide (Pro‐B...

Background: Leishmania is a significant health problem in many parts of the world. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) plays an essential role in Leishmania major infections. Objective: To study the pro-inflammatory cytokines and antioxidants in four groups of cutaneous leishmaniasis patients. Methods: 39 patients were divided into four groups of: 1) active (acute phase of treatment); 2) non-healing (r...

Background: Acute respiratory distress (ARD) is a critical respiratory failure due to lung injury of neonates leading to the clinical appearance of poor lung compliance. The aimed of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic values in differentiating respiratory from heart diseases with using of N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in neonates...
