The understanding of nanomaterials for targeted cancer therapy is of great importance as physical parameters of nanomaterials have been shown to be strong determinants that can promote cellular responses. However, there have been rare platforms that can vastly tune the core of nanoparticles at a molecular level despite various nanomaterials employed in such studies. Here we show targeted photod...

introduction: supplying the requirements and consequently the customer’s satisfaction has been one of the fundamental issues since the last decade. in active organizations in the section of health and treatment, individual’s satisfaction will be considered as their feelings toward realizing their expectations. therefore, the aim of study was to investigate the client needs in the speech therapy...

objective(s)   although photodynamic therapy is considered as a noninvasive method, most photosensitizers are susceptible to  ultrasound.  therefore,  it  is  expected  that  the  combination of  two  activation  methods  might  have  a synergistic effect. this probable effect has been investigated in this study.   materials and methods   this  study  was  conducted  on  colon  carcinoma  tumor...

photodynamic therapy (pdt) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ala)-induced protoporphyrin ix (ppix) has been considered as a new method for treating neoplasms. however, ala-pdt is suboptimal for thick tumors. searching for new approaches, we investigated the effect of adding differentiation therapy (dt) with vitamin e succinate (ves) to pdt in human prostate ln-cap-fgc10 cancer cells in vitro . the...

introduction: : low level laser therapy (lllt) is gaining acceptance in clinical applications. for example, it is used as therapeutic modality in the repair of diabetic foot ulcer when conventional therapy was not effective, separately. the aim of this study is to determine the effect of local and travenous lllt for the healing of diabetic foot ulcer. methods:   this study contains 74 diabetic ...

background: the infertility is associated with psychological consequence including depression, and lack of self-efficacy. objective: the aim of this study was to compare the pharmacological and no pharmacological strategies in promotion of self-efficacy of infertile women. materials and methods: a randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 89 infertile women who were recruited from f...

objective: sexual dysfunction is frequently reported as a side effect of many antidepressant medications. as a result, for those depressed patients to whom sexual desire is important, psychological treatment may be a better intervention. thus, the present study aimed to determine the possible changes in sexual desire following psychological treatments in depression, when focus of therapy is not...
