background and objectives: hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (hnpcc) is an autosomal dominant cancer predisposition syndrome caused by germ-line mutations in dna mismatch repair genes. tumors arising as a result of these mutations display instability in a sequence area known as microsatellites. studies have shown that some bethesda markers (bat25, bat26) are more efficient than others i...

results overall, there were 2 (2.7%) mason ii fractures, 21 (28%) mason iii fractures, and 52 (69.3%) mason iv fractures. arbeitsgemeinschaft fur osteosynthesefragen (ao) classification was also determined. of the 85 patients in our study, 75 were available for follow-up. follow-up averaged 41.5 months (range, 4 - 93 months). average scores for the cohort were as follows: morrey, 85.7 (median 9...

background: microsatellite instability (msi) is a mutational signature that is the hallmark of lynch syndrome, and msi testing is a cost-effective method to screen the disease. since there is no enough data about msi status and associated clinicopathologic features of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (hnpcc) in iran, our study is a new trial to describe them in center of iran (isfahan)...

instabilities of a thin viscous film flowing down a uniformly heated plane are investigated in this study. the heating generates a surface tension gradient that induces thermocapillary stresses on the free surface. thus, the film is not only influenced by gravity and mean surface tension but also the thermocapillary force is acting on the free surface. moreover, the heat transfer at the free su...

The economic situation in the Arab countries is due to several factors as the political crisis in a socio-economic vulnerability. Political changes are usually accompanied by a drop in production, a deterioration of macroeconomic balances, a high level of poverty, an appearance of economic corruptions and a structural increase in unemployment. In addition, the expansion of terrorism is a main i...
