Introdoction: Hepatitis B comprises one of the major health problems worldwide. Health Care Workers (HCW) are a group at risk for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. The aim of this study is Management of nonresponder health care workers to hepatitis B routine vaccination. Methods: In a descriptive-analytical study conducted in the Department of infectious diseases in the University Of Medical S...

background: the ability of the ovary to respond to exogenous gonadotrophin stimulation and development of several follicles is essential in assisted reproductive technology. neither age and regularity of menses nor follicular phase fsh and estradiol concentrations are reliable predictors of ovarian response. day 3 serum inhibin-b level, during induction ovulation, has been proposed as a predict...

Many security protocols have the aim of authenticating one agent acting as initiator to another agent acting as responder and vice versa. Sometimes, the authentication fails because of executing several parallel sessions of a protocol, and because an agent may play both the initiator and responder role in parallel sessions. We take advantage of the notion of transition systems to specify authen...

Analysis of the IgG autoantibody subclass response in the collagen II autoimmune arthritis (CII AIA)-susceptible D1 strain mice revealed that the onset of disease was associated with a predominance of IgG2a autoantibody. In a comparative study, resistance in the B6 strain was associated with a deficient IgG2a autoantibody response. B6 IgG1, 2b, and 3 autoantibody responses generally overlapped ...

context hepatitis b virus expanded program on immunization (epi) started on 1993 in iran. most surveys have assessed the level of response to vaccine by measuring the titers of anti-hbs. this meta- analysis aimed to summarize the iranian published data on the rate of vaccine-responders versus non-responders. moreover, the impact of variables such as age, gender, type of vaccine, etc. on the lev...

Background Ultrasound measurement of the inferior vena cava diameter and its respiratory variability are amongst the predictors of fluid volume status. The primary purpose of the present study was to compare the consistency of inferior vena cava diameter measurements and the collapsibility index, obtained with convex and cardiac transducers. A secondary aim was to assess the agreement of the pa...

Aim To evaluate the baseline expression of the immune genes in PBMCs of responder and non-responder patients with chronic Hepatitis C. Background Although the contribution of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) gene expression in treatment outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is supposed, it has remained to be distinctly delineated. The baseline expression of the immune genes ins...
