The purpose of this study is to evaluate how beverages containing Lactobacillus casei Shirota (BLS) and soy isoflavone consumption since adolescence affected the incidence of breast cancer. In a population-based case-control study, three hundred and six cases with breast cancer and 662 controls aged 40 to 55 were matched for age and residential area and included in the analyses. Diet, lifestyle...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether microRNA-126 (miR-126) targets phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit beta (PIK3R2) and to determine the potential roles of miR-126 in regulating proliferation and invasion via the PIK3R2-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in the human bladder BLS cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS A recombinant lentivirus...

background: considering the occurrence of medical emergencies in dental practice, and the essential need of acquiring competency in basic life support (bls), the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of bls workshop on the skills of dental students in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. methods: in this switching replication experimental study, students in the 5th year of mashhad d...

BACKGROUND Students are largely providing feedback to one another when instructor facilitates peer feedback rather than teaching in group training. The number of students in a group affect the learning of students in the group training. We aimed to investigate whether a larger group size increases students' test scores on a post-training test with peer feedback facilitated by instructor after v...

The mechanisms leading to malignant cell proliferation may differ between the different histologic forms of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. To analyze the potential role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a growth factor for lymphomatous cells in these different forms, the in situ production of this cytokine was analyzed in lymphomatous samples taken from 24 patients, 18 of whom were human immunode...

0 d asic life support (BLS) refers to maintaining airway atency and supporting breathing and the circulaion, without the use of equipment other than a rotective device.1 This section contains the guideines for adult BLS by lay rescuers and for the use f an automated external defibrillator (AED). It lso includes recognition of sudden cardiac arrest, he recovery position and management of choking...

Although gain of 1q occurs in 25% of Burkitt lymphomas (BLs) and 10% of pediatric high hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs), little is known about the origin, molecular genetic characteristics, and functional outcome of dup(1q) in these disorders. Ten dup(1q)-positive BLs/ALLs were investigated by tiling resolution (32k) array CGH analysis, which revealed that the proximal breakpoi...

We propose a unified classification for BL Lac objects (BLs), focusing on the synchrotron peak frequency νs of the spectral energy distribution. The unification scheme is based on the angle Θ that describes the orientation of the relativistic jet and on the electron kinetic luminosity Λkin of the jet. We assume that Λkin scales with the size of the jet r in a self-similar fashion (Λkin ∝ r), as...

OBJECTIVES In the early minutes of cardiac arrest, timing of defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation during the basic life support phase (BLS CPR) is debated. Aims of this study were to provide in-hospital incidence and outcome data, and to investigate the relation between outcome and time from collapse to defibrillation, time to BLS CPR, and CPR quality. METHODS Resuscitation attemp...

Background: Cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) is a severe public health problem and leading cause of death worldwide. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), basic life support (BLS) bedrock for improving people's survival after cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation crucial. Through scientific evidence, empowering professionals focuses on education in vital identify attend CPA vic...
