Like other developing countries, Iranian cities are growing and expanding physically at a high speed. For about five decades, the only policy of the urban development plans in the field of urban growth management has been definition of the Urban Growth Boundary (U.G.B.) which is still used without any major modifications.Despite the slight evidences indicating the ineffectiveness of the current...

One of the most important threats to global public health, especially in developing countries is parasitic infections. These infections are very common in children and young people especially those who kept in kindergarten and primary schools. Because of the high population density and sometimes by the lack of adequate hygiene, these places are prone to parasitic infections. Infestation causes ...

Cervical cancer continues to be a major public health problem affecting large numbers of women in many developing countries. Limitations of various screening modalities and the lack of ready availability of a cost-effective point-of-care screening tool have hindered the efficient implementation of population-based screening programs in these settings. It has not proved possible for many countri...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Stem cells have proved to have great therapeutic potential as stem cell treatment is replacing traditional ways of treatment in different disorders like cancer, aplastic anemia, stroke, heart disorders. The developed and developing countries are investing differently in this area of research so research output and clinical translation of research greatly vary among dev...

Background : Blastocystis hominis is an anaerobic, zoonotic protozoan parasite which inhabits the large intestine of humans and a wide range of other vertebrates. It has a worldwide distribution and infects hosts through the cyst of the parasite by contaminated water or food. Its prevalence is related to hygienic culture, season, exposure to animals, and age. A number of studies in the last dec...

Arthur Lewis’s seminal 1954 paper and its emphasis on dualism appeared at a time when neither the work of Keynes and Harrod–Domar nor the later neoclassical production function of Solow seemed relevant for developing countries. As a consequence, his model, rooted in the classical tradition, plus its many extensions, generated an extensive literature at the center of development theory. The appr...

We call for the development of human biobanks in developing countries and describe several examples from low income countries which are already building their own biobanks. Developing human biobanks in developing countries requires strengthening of the research capacity to use the new technologies, as well as a shift in research investment priorities in order to reduce the inequity in internati...
