With increasing life expectancy, the demand for preservation of native articular cartilage is increasing to delay joint arthroplasties. In the knee, there are many different strategies to preserve the articular cartilage including but not limited to corrective osteotomies, chondral injury restoration, intraarticular injection of cells or growth factors(PRP). However, One of the most important s...

One of the major development strategies for concurrent systems suggests to start the system development from a socalled functional design of the envisaged system and to distribute/parallelize this design in subsequent development steps towards a concurrent system. In this paper we argue that this strategy is not supported by the standard state-based refinement approaches. This phenomenon is tra...

Uterine serosal pregnancy is an extremely rare form of ectopic pregnancy. This is a report of a 35-year-old primigravida woman who was diagnosed with uterine serosal pregnancy via laparoscopic intervention. A 35-year-old woman (gravida 1, para 0) was referred from a local clinic for a ruptured left tubal pregnancy at amenorrhea 5+0 weeks with elevated serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (16...

This paper delineates the identity preservation strategy being implemented by the British Retail Consortium and the Food and Drink Federation towards genetically modified foods. The strategy is in direct response to British consumer concerns about genetically modified foods in the wake of the “mad cow” crisis. Consumer needs are being addressed through labeling based on robust global traceabili...

Background Increasing survival rates in patients who suffer from oncological disease and improvement in reproductive medicine techniques has led to increasing use of different fertility preservation methods. The evidence supporting current and forthcoming options for fertility preservation consisted of two main parts as for female and male. Fertility preservation options for female and male dep...

Data from high-energy physics experiments are collected with significant financial and human effort and are mostly unique. However, until recently no coherent strategy existed for data preservation and re-use, and many important and complex data sets have simply been lost. While the current focus is on the LHC at CERN, in the current period several important and unique experimental programs at ...

background: recent advances in cancer treatment have resulted in an increased number of cancer survivors. fertility might be impaired by cancer itself or through gonadal damage as a consequence of radio-chemotherapy. damages to reproductive organs are seen in minimally upto 30% of cancer patients. the aim of the present study was evaluate the attitude of iranian oncologists toward fertility pre...
