We previously developed an in vivo tissue suction-mediated transfection method (denoted as the tissue suction method) for naked nucleic acids, such as plasmid DNA (pDNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), in mice. However, it remains unclear whether the suction pressure conditions affect the results of this method. Therefore, in the present study, we assembled a computer system to control the s...

Context: Hyperhidrosis is known to cause numerous individual and social problems with sweating more than the body’s physiological needs. Researchers have discussed causes of this disease so far; however, factors such as heredity, nervous system defects, infections, drugs been introduced causes. Evidence Acquisition: Firstly, 127 articles were identified from different databases. After categoriz...

Background: Endometrial hyperplasia (EH) is considered a heterogeneous pre-neoplastic clinical entity characterized by an abnormal glandular proliferation, with less than half of the tissue area occupied stroma. The aim this retrospective study was to evaluate correlation between histological diagnosis atypical endometrial (AEH) obtained through office hysteroscopy (OH) or uterine dilation and ...

BACKGROUND Primary focal axillary hyperhidrosis is a chronic distressing disorder affecting both the sexes. When the condition is refractory to conservative management, we should go for more promising therapies like intradermal botulinum toxin A (BtxA) injections in the axilla, and surgical therapies like subcutaneous curettage of sweat glands. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to ...

OBJECTIVES To determine treatment efficacy of curettage on endometrial polyp. METHODS The quasi-experimental pre-and-post study was conducted in 2011-12 at the gynaecology department of Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, and comprised patients who underwent hysteroscopy for endometrial polyp. Location, size, number and base condition of the polyps were recorded before the patient underwent cu...

The Isaacs cell sampler was tested in 150 women (102 of them postmenopausal) referred for curettage. The results of cytological testing of material obtained with the sampler were compared with histological findings from curettage performed immediately afterwards. Satisfactory aspirates for cytological diagnoses were obtained in 141 patients and satisfactory material for histological diagnosis i...

Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has limitations in the treatment of thick skin tumours. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of pre-PDT deep curettage on tumour thickness in thick (≥2 mm) basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Additionally, 3-month treatment outcome and change of tumour thickness from diagnosis to treatment were investigated. At diagnosis, mean tumour thickness was 2.3 mm (r...
