HER2 Testing in Invasive Breast Cancer: a Comparison between Immunohistochemistry and FISH Assays

Effect of garlic extract and N-acetylcysteine against fenvalerate-induced oxidative stress in the serum and testis tissue of rat

Background and Objective: Fenvalerate is a component of the pyrethroid pesticide induces oxidative stress. This study was done to determine the effect of garlic extract (GE) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against fenvalerate-induced oxidative stress in the serum and testis tissue of rat. Methods: In this experimental study, 42 Wistar rats were randomly allocated into 7 groups including: control gr...

Modelling and Experimental Testing of Asymmetric Information Problems in Lease and Hire Contracts (Based on Contract Theory)

This article aims to study lease and hiring contract in the Iranian-Islamic setting and analyze the asymmetric information problem in these contracts. For doing this, we study the characteristics of lease and hiring contracts in Iran (real world experimental characteristics that recognized in other studies), using library method, then we mathematically model different aspects of asymmetric info...

Evaluation of Quinolone Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolates Recovered from Urine and Feces of Patients with Acute or Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection

Introduction: Antibiotic resistance, especially in Gram-negative uropathogens such as Escherichia coli, is the main barrier to treat urinary tract infection (UTI). In recent years, the dramatically increased resistance of E. coli to quinolones, a group of widely used antibiotics, has become a significant concern. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, we collected 261 E. coli isola...

Testing DFT ability to predict the stereoselectivity of group 4 metallocenes in propylene polymerization

In this study we have tested the ability of a standard DFT computational protocol to reproduce the experimentally obtained stereoselectivity of 26 different C2-symmetric zirconocene catalysts active in propylene polymerization. The catalysts were chosen for their relevance in metallocene catalyzed polymerization of propylene. To this end, primary insertion of both si- and re-propylene enantiofa...
