The Representative Porcine Model for Human Cardiovascular Disease

Experimental Porcine Toxoplasma gondii Infection as a Representative Model for Human Toxoplasmosis

Porcine infections are currently not the state-of-the-art model to study human diseases. Nevertheless, the course of human and porcine toxoplasmosis is much more comparable than that of human and murine toxoplasmosis. For example, severity of infection, transplacental transmission, and interferon-gamma-induced antiparasitic effector mechanisms are similar in pigs and humans. In addition, the se...

Estimating the health effects of PM10 on human in Sanandaj City during 2010-2014 using AirQ model

One of the air pollutant indices includes particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 μg/m3 (PM10). Particulate matter has extensive effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Dissemination of such particles for a longer period can lead to increased mortality and hospitalization. In this study, the data of PM10 pollutant wer...

Human T Lymphotropic Virus Type I (HTLV-I) is a Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease

Model-based identification and diagnosis of a porcine model of induced endotoxic shock with hemofiltration.

A previously validated cardiovascular system (CVS) model and parameter identification method for cardiac and circulatory disease states are extended and further validated in a porcine model (N=6) of induced endotoxic shock with hemofiltration. Errors for the identified model are within 10% when the model is re-simulated and compared to the clinical data. All identified parameter trends over tim...

برآورد تعداد موارد مرگ قلبی عروقی و مراجعات بیمارستانی به علت بیماری تنفسی ناشی از تماس با ذرات معلق کمتر از 10 میکرون در شهر اهواز در سال‌های 1391-1389

Background and Objective: High density of industries and phenomena of dust make Ahvaz as one of the most polluted cities in Iran. The aim of current study was determination of cardiovascular death and hospital admissions respiratory disease of particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10) on human health in Ahvaz, during 2010-2012. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted...
