[ 1 ] - بررسی فراوانی عفونت سل نهفته در بیماران مبتلا به سرطان ریه و مقایسه آن با افراد سالم

Background: Lung cancer is the fifth most common cancer in Iran, with 10.5 and 1.5 per 100,000 in males and females, respectively. The study of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBi) in patients with lung cancer is significant due to the possibility of its activation during chemotherapy and increased mortality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of LTBi in patients wit...

[ 2 ] - Effects of Oral Probiotic Feeding on Toll-Like Receptor Gene Expression of the Chicken’s Cecal Tonsil

Background: It was proposed that probiotics may influence immune system through direct or indirect exposure. Direct exposure is mostly mediated by surface receptors. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are conserved molecular sensors which could be triggered via some pathogen associated structures, hence, modulate the immune responses. This study was conducted to elucidate the impact of lactobacillus ac...

[ 3 ] - Hereditary Ataxia with a Novel Mutation in the Senataxin Gene: A Case Report

Hereditary ataxias (HA) are a group of inherited neurological disorders caused by changes in genes. At least 115 different mutations in the senataxin (SETX) gene causing ataxia have been identified. There are no reports of any SETX gene mutation among the Iranian population. Here we report on two cases with homozygous and heterozygous mutations in which one patient was affected by HA with oculo...
