Background: Painless delivery using IV sedation is a method in which the pain and anxiety delivery process will be reduced by IV injection of analgesic and sedative drugs to the mother. In this method the health of neonate is taken into account. Neonate’s health can be measured by Apgar score system. This research was carried out to study Apgar score of the minutes 5 and 10 in neonates born...

background : the measuring serum ferritin level as a sensitive inflammatory biomarker might effectively predict preterm delivery, but the power and the best cut-off point of this biomarker for predicting preterm labor in iranian population has not been substantially identified. our purpose was to determine what concentrations of serum ferritin could identify patients at risk for preterm deliver...

Background: It seems that in vaginal delivery, serum leptin level increases as a cortisol-dependent factor due to the stress of the embryo. Studies have shown that if the level of serum leptin is low, the risk of chronic metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and obesity in the mother and the baby will increase. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relatio...

glioma, as a primary tumor of central nervous system, is the main cause of death in patients with brain cancer. therefore, development of an efficient strategy for treatment of glioma is worthy. the aim of the current study was to develop a srl peptide-coated dendrimer as a novel dual gene delivery system for targeting the lrp receptor, an up-regulated gene in both bbb and glioma cells. to perf...

Peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. Recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. As these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. The twenty different naturally occurring amin...
