the tp53 gene is one of the most frequently mutated genes amongst human malignancies, particularly tp53 codon 72 polymorphism. furthermore, an association between the tp53 codon 72 variants and prostate cancer has been reported in several studies. although some studies have indicated an association between the tp53 arg/arg variant and an increased risk for prostate cancer, other studies have sh...

background: we aimed to value the usefulness of free to total prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific antigen (psa) density for prostate cancer in the patients with psa levels of 4.0 ng/ml or less. methods: a total of 343 subjects with psa levels of 4.0 ng/ml or less were biopsied. all patients were divided into four groups according to the psa levels: 0 to 1.0 ng/ml, 1.1 to 2.0 ng/ml, ...

Long-term no-till (NT) systems in the semiarid central Great Plains of United States require flexible management strategies to minimize impacts herbicide resistant (HR) kochia (Kochia scoparia L.) and tumble windmill grass (Chloris verticillata Nutt.) as well nutrient stratification on soil crop productivity. This study examined strategic tillage (ST) control HR weeds improve yields an otherwis...

prostate cancer is the most common cancer in america and canada, and is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. dietary factors play an important role in prostate cancer development; one of them is dietary fat, particularly pufa intake. thus, this study aimed to review the current articles on the correlation between pufa and prostate cancer. we searched the pubmed database, and selected article...

background & aim : prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in males and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in palestine. although, many studies were conducted in de- veloped countries to evaluate quality of life (qol) in survivors of prostate cancer, the researchers could not find any study that was conducted in a developing country including palestine. therefore, the p...

During a 36-hour period, the rate of absorption of oxygen, respiration quotient, and rate of evolution of heat have been measured using seeds of Prosopis juliflora, Kochia scoparia, and Oxyria digyna. The results obtained in pure water were compared with those obtained in dilute solutions of dinitrolphenol. The data appear to be reproducible to +/- 10% at the end of the 36-hour period and are i...

background: recently, the development of new biomarkers as prognostic and predictive markers in prostate cancer has been crucial. objectives: this study was aimed to determine whether serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) levels would be a prognostic marker or risk assessment factor in patients with prostate cancer and to investigate whether it could differentiate cancerous tissue fro...
