Wang et al. have provided new and novel evidence about the importance of using α-fetoprotein (ALP) and glypican-3 (GPC-3) mRNA detection in peripheral blood of the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after ortothopic liver transplantation (OLT) (1). HCC keeps on as major universal health apprehension ensuing in more than 1 million caner associated deaths annually (2, 3). The...

Aim: In this study, we evaluated the presence of antibiotic resistance genes among P. aeruginosa strains. Methodology: From January to September 2012, 100 isolates of P. aeruginosa were collected from burn patients. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by disk diffusion method. Screening for Metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) productions were performed by Combination Disk Diffusion Test ...

Additional references are provided by the authors to support their claims. However, the Hashemi and Mehravaran study reported results from only 23 subjects, which is likely underpowered to detect small changes in the posterior surface. Ciolini and Belin investigated a larger dataset but reported amean difference between preoperative andpostoperative changes in the posterior surface without a st...

A fully integrated, front-end Ka-band monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) was developed that houses an LNA (low noise amplifier) stage, a down-conversion stage, and output buffer amplifiers. The MMIC design employs a two-step quadrature down-conversion architecture, illustrated in the figure, which results in improved quality of the down-converted IF quadrature signals. This is due t...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of screw speed, inclination angle and variety on the required power, and conveying capacity of a screw conveyor. The experiment was designed with four levels of screw speed (600, 800, 1000, and 1200 rpm), five levels of inclination angle (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80°), and three levels of variety (Alikazemi, Hashemi, and Khazar). The Length, diame...

Electron beam radiation therapy is used extensively for treating head and neck cancers to avoid the irradiation of the spinal cord. It is also used for treating chest wall malignancies to limit the irradiated volume of lungs. Calculating the dose distribution from an electron field is quite complicated because of the multiple scattering, especially in the presence of internal heterogeneities [1...

in order to evaluate the yield and yield components of rice (oryza sativa l. cv. tarom hashemi) in integrated rice, duck and azolla, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of sari university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2012. experiment was arranged in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. the number of ducks as main p...

© 2016 Journal of ophthalmic and Vision research | published by Wolters KluWer medKnoW Sir, We read with great interest the article titled “Association between refractive errors and ocular biometry in Iranian adults” by Hashemi et al[1] The authors aimed to evaluate the association between refractive errors and ocular biometry. We appreciate their valuable study and would like to make a comment...

Despite the use of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccines and preventive measures, infection with HBV remains a major global health problem. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk of acquiring HBV infections from shared dialysis equipment, increased exposure to blood products, and immunodeficiency associated with CKD (1, 2). In addition, they may be more likely to develop...
