one of the major advances in medicine has been the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cpr) procedure since the 1960s in order to save human lives. this procedure has so far saved thousands of lives. although cpr has helped to save lives, in some cases, it prolongs the process of dying, suffering, and pain in patients. this study was conducted to explain the experience of iranian physicians r...

Antisense oligonucleotides (oligos) have been evaluated for treating prostate cancer in both in vivo and in vitro models. Although most oligos contain a single mRNA binding site, our laboratory evaluates bi-specific oligos directed towards two proteins. This study evaluates the growth inhibition in vitro of the LNCaP cell line employing monoand bispecific oligos directed against BCL-2 [the seco...

Counteracting the atrophy of skeletal muscle associated with disuse has significant implications for minimizing the wasting and weakness in plaster casting, joint immobilization, and other forms of limb unloading, with relevance to orthopedics, sports medicine, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. We tested the hypothesis that antibody-directed myostatin inhibition would attenuate the loss o...

the therapeutic potential of crude extracts of aerial parts (stem, leaves and flowers) of tridax procumbens was screened for in vitro antioxidant potential and alpha amylase inhibitory action. the crude hydro-methanolic, aqueous and petroleum ether extracts were obtained by percolation-maceration method using 50% methanol, double distilled water and petroleum ether as solvents. phytochemical sc...

Shigella toxin inhibits polyuridylic acid-directed polymerization of phenylalanine in ribosome-enzyme systems obtained from Escherichia coli or from Shigella dysenteriae. The inhibition is the result of toxin acting on ribosomes to prevent polyuridylic acid attachment.

one of the identified risk factors for anxiety disorders in adolescence and adulthood is inhibited behaviors in childhood. the present study sought to examine the relationship between behavioral inhibition with some of the internal (personal) and external (family environment) factors in a sample of preschool children in kindergartens. in a cross sectional study in 2009, data was collected troug...
