[ 1 ] - Comparison of Polymerase Chain Reaction, Ziehl-Neelsen Staining and Histopathologic Findings in Formalin-fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Specimens for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

Background and Objective: Tuberculosis is still a major health problem, involving about 1/3 of the world´s population. Diagnosis is difficult when we only use Ziehl-Neelson staining. Many cases may be missed. A more rapid and sensitive diagnostic method is necessary. PCR may be helpful. The aim of this study was to compare PCR, Zieh-Neelsen staining and histopathologic findings in diagnosis of ...

[ 2 ] - Molecular Identification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Blocks of Extra Pulmonary Speciemens using Genomics Extraction

Background: Tuberculosis has been detected in some extra pulmonary ecological niches. Although extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) is less frequent than Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB), its incidence has increased worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of EPTB and MDR-EXPT in Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks among different samples in Kerma...

[ 3 ] - بررسی ارزش تشخیصی آسپیراسیون سوزنی (FNA) توده‌های قابل لمس پستان در بیماران مراجعه کننده به بیمارستان امام رضا (ع) کرمانشاه

 Background & Aims: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in woman which includes 25% of all cancers in woman.Biopsy is the gold standard method for diagnosis of breast messes but since about 70% of the breast masses are bengin, non-invasive diagnostic methods including FNA are more useful and important. Here we decide to compare the results of FNA with biopsy of palpable breast masses in pat...

[ 4 ] - Effect of oral supplementation of zinc on treatment of otitis media with effusion

  Abstract   Objective: To determine the effect of oral zinc sulfate supplementation given with   coamoxiclav when compared with coamoxiclav alone for treatment of otitis media   with effusion (OME). The efficacy of the drug was assessed 3 and 6 weeks after administration .   Methods: In a double-blind, randomized trial 4 to 14 years old children with OME   who referred to ear, nose and throat ...
