Background: Thalassemia is the most common blood disorder in the world. This hereditary anemia, Which develops due to a constitutional imbalance in alpha and beta chains of adult haemoglobin (hbA), has serious and life- threatening complications (accompanied by haemolysis and bone deformities) in its major form. We may encounter a diverse collection of articles in world research centers about t...

background: hepatitis c virus (hcv) is the major cause of post-transfusion hepatitis infection (pth). patients with thalassemia major are at high risk of hepatitis c due to the blood transfusion from donors infected by hcv. the aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of anti-hcv antibodies and risk factors in multitransfused thalassemic patients in isfahan-iran to establish more preventi...

In this study, we consider two different inequivalent formulations of the logistic difference equation $x_{n+1}= beta x_n(1- x_n), n=0,1,..., $ where $x_n$ is a sequence of fuzzy numbers and $beta$ is a positive fuzzy number. The major contribution of this paper is to study the existence, uniqueness and global behavior of the solutions for two corresponding equations, using the concept of Huku...
