The postnatal development of premature infants is critically dependent on an adequate nutritional intake that mimics a...

[ 2 ] - مروری بر تالاسمی و عوارض ناشی از آن

Thalassemia is a highly progressive hemolytic anemia with different levels of complexity in patients. In thalassemia, reduced level of synthesis of hemoglobin chains results in an imbalanced production of alpha and beta globin chains, and sedimentation of unpaired chains inside red blood cells is the beginning of complications among thalassemia patients. Nowadays compatible blood transfusion is...

[ 3 ] - مقایسه ارتباط سطح سرمی مارکرهای کلسترولی و لیپیدی در بررسی اختلالات لیپوپروتئینی در بیماران بستری در بیمارستان قلب دانشگاه علوم پزشکی مازندران

زمینه و هدف : پیدایش مقاومت دارویی مایکوباکتریوم توبرکلوزیس، به‌خصوص سویه‌های مقاوم به چند دارو، درمان و کنترل شیوع بیماری سل را با مشکل مواجه کرده است. این مطالعه به منظور شناسایی جهش‌های شایع منجر به مقاومت دارویی ایزوله‌های مایکوباکتریوم توبرکلوزیس با استفاده از روش Line Probe Assay در استان مازندران انجام شد. روش بررسی : این مطالعه توصیفی روی نمونه‌های خلط مثبت 54 مسلول ریوی مراجعه کننده ب...

[ 5 ] - فراوانی پدیده آلوایمونیزاسیون در بیماران مبتلا به بتا تالاسمی ماژور شهرستان ساری (1389)

زمینه و هدف : انتقال خون مکرر، درمان اصلی بیماران مبتلا به تالاسمی ماژور است. با این حال به واسطه مواجهه مستمر آنتی‌ژنی، ممکن است واکنش‌های ایمنی همچون شکل‌گیری آلوآنتی‌بادی علیه آنتی‌ژن‌های سلول‌های خونی شکل گیرد. این مطالعه به منظور تعیین فراوانی پدیده آلوایمونیزاسیون در بیماران مبتلا به بتا تالاسمی ماژور شهرستان ساری انجام شد. روش بررسی : این مطالعه توصیفی - تحلیلی روی 218 بیمار (100 مرد و ...

[ 6 ] - Torque Teno Virus (TTV) Among β-Thalassemia and Haemodialysis Patients from Mazandaran Province (North of Iran)

Torque Teno virus (TTV) is a transfusion transmitted virus that seems to be involved in several complications such as acute respiratory diseases, liver diseases, AIDS, cancer, and autoimmune reactions.  In the present study the frequency of TTV was investigated among β- thalassemia (BT) and haemodialysis (HD) patients (high risk patients for TTV) in Mazandaran province, Iran. DNA was ...

[ 7 ] - Evaluation of Gene Mutations Involved in Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains Derived from Tuberculosis Patients in Mazandaran, Iran, 2013

Drug resistance (especially multiple drug resistance) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis makes global concerns in treatment and control of tuberculosis. Rapid diagnosis of drug resistant strains of the bacteria has vital importance in the prognosis of the disease. The aim of this study was to identify the mutations responsible for drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains derived from pa...

[ 8 ] - Diagnostic Value of Fructosamine and Glycosylated Hemoglobin in Estimating Blood Glucose Level in Diabetic Patients with Thalassemia Major

Abstract Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is one of complications that thalassemia major patients face with. Hence, blood glucose monitoring is of vital importance to these patients. Because of high level of fetal hemoglobin in these patients, the measurement of hemoglobin A1c is not reliable and should be displaced by fructosamine test. Material and Methods: The current descr...

[ 9 ] - Identification of a Neonate with Thalassemia Intermedia Despite Premarital Screening Program in Mazandaran Province (Co-inheritance of Hb Knossos and IVS II-1 G> A Mutations)

Background: Beta thalassemia is a common health problem in Iran especially in Northern provinces. Premarital screening for thalassemia is compulsory in Iran and identification of the carriers is based on primary CBC (Cell Blood Count) and hemoglobin electrophoresis. Silent mutations on β-globin gene have borderline or normal hematological indices that cannot be detected in premarital scree...

[ 10 ] - Co-inheritance of --MED double gene deletion and αααAnti3.7 triplication on α-globin gene in Mazandaran at 2016

Alpha Thalassemia is one of the most prevalent disorders worldwide with a [T1] high carrier rate in Mazandaran province (north of Iran). Carriers of --MED double gene deletion are at risk of having a child with hemoglobin  haemoglobin[T2]  H (HbH) disease, if they marry a silent carrier. Co-inheritance of αααAnti3.7 triplication that cannot be detected using hem...

[ 11 ] - Is Quantitative HBsAg Measurement a Reliable Substitute for HBV DNA Quantitation?

Background: Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is one of the main proteins of HBV envelop and its serum quantitative measurement is the most common quantitative test for monitoring the progress of Chronic Hepatitis B. Although measurement of serum HBV DNA copy number is a gold standard method for displaying viral load, the test is relatively expensive and it is not readily available everywhere...
