background : safe dose escalation is highly desirable in radiotherapy for prostate cancer. prostate displacement due to bladder filling can be significant, so improved targeting of the prostate by ultrasound imaging potentially allows for a reduction in the target margin and consequently less toxicity. this study estimates the accuracy of ultrasound for prostate and bladder volume measurements ...

Background and Aim: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has the potential for oncogenicity and has been associated with many malignancies, including prostate cancer. This study aimed to investigate the genomic prevalence of HCMV in prostate cancer tumors. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 31 patients with prostate cancer were enrolled along with 31 patients with benign prostate cance...

background : limited studies are available on the calculation of radiation exposure and its associated risks for people in contact with patients who have been treated with permanent prostate brachytherapy. in this study the changes in the radiation exposure were calculated in different stages of the bladder fullness in prostate seed brachytherapy. methods :magnetic resonance images of three pat...

use poor quality resources of water and soil for food production in developing countries must be considered. therefore, three experiments were conduct in complete randomize design with four replications, to study effects of gradually application of different salinity levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds.m-1) at different growth stages (planting and early seedling) and gradually application s...

soil and water salinity are the main agricultural problems in arid and semi arid areas in the world and iran. in order to investigate salinity tolerance of kochia, two experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications, seven levels of salinity (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds m-1) and two growth stages (planting and early seedling) with gradually salinity appli...

  Background: Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among men. New gene expressed in prostate (NGEP), is a prostate-specific gene expressed only in normal prostate and prostate cancer tissue. Because of its selective expression in prostate cancer cell surface, NGEP is a potential immunotherapeutic target. To target the NGEP in prostate cancer, it is essential to investig...

Purpose: Non-cancerous prostate lesions such as prostate calcification, prostate enlargement, and prostate inflammation cause too many problems for men’s health. This research proposes a novel approach, a combination of image processing techniques and deep learning methods for classification and segmentation of the prostate in CT-scan images by considering the experienced physicians’ reports. ...
