aquired dental disease is characterized by deterioration of tooth quality, acquired malocclusion and elongation of the teeth roots. by now, there is no study to show incidence rate of dental diseases in iranian pet rabbits. the aim of this study is to investigate types of disorders (dental malocclusion and elongation of the teeth roots) and rate of dental diseases based on information received ...

granitoid rocks of kaje area, northwest ferdows, with the composition of diorite, monzodiorite, monzonite, monzogranite, syenogranite and granite, with calk-alkaline and high potassium affinities, have trace and rare earth element geochemical characteristics similar to those from subduction zones, belonging to i-type granitoid rocks. most of these rocks are oxidized (magnetite series), while on...

OBJECTIVE To investigate dynamic changes in myometrial thickness during the third stage of labor. METHODS Myometrial thickness was measured using ultrasound at one-minute time intervals during the third stage of labor in the mid-region of the upper and lower uterine segments in 151 patients including: women with a long third stage of labor (n = 30), postpartum hemorrhage (n = 4), preterm deli...

INTRODUCTION Tumors originating from transitional epithelium of the renal pelvis and ureter are infrequent. Their course is asymptomatic at early stages of the disease, and diagnosis and institution of appropriate treatment delayed. The aim of the study is to assess the results of treatment in patients with upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinomas (UUT-TCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifte...

respiratory syncytial virus infection in immunocompromised patients, especially those with defects in cell mediated immunity is associated with high morbidity and mortality. lymphocytopenia is an important factor associated with progression of upper to lower respiratory tract infection. the only licensed antiviral treatment for rsv available currently is ribavirin, although additional immunomod...

PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of renal parenchyma with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage and serum creatinine levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and ten patients who had undergone magnetic resonance imaging of the upper abdomen for different reasons were retrospectively studied. A region of interest (ROI) was placed on the renal pa...

This article describes a method of adapting workstations for workers with motion disability using computer simulation and virtual reality (VR) techniques. A workstation for grinding spring faces was used as an example. It was adjusted for two people with a disabled right upper extremity. The study had two stages. In the first, a computer human model with a visualization of maximal arm reach and...

PURPOSE Data on operable gastric cancer from India is sparse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical details, histopathological demographics, and 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) associated with operable, non-metastatic gastric cancer in a dedicated upper gastrointestinal (GI) surgical unit in India. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data for patients diagno...

The morphogenesis of the composite epicuticular wax coverage and regeneration ability of the upper wax layer in Nepenthes alata pitchers were studied using a cryo-scanning electron microscopy. Examination of pitchers of different ages revealed six stages in the wax coverage development. In the first stage, wax crystals resemble those found recently in mature pitches of N. dicksoniana and N. ven...
