BACKGROUND Excessive interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) is usually related to an overload of sodium and water, and is the most important factor for arterial hypertension in dialysis. On the other hand, food intake also contributes to IDWG, and is the basic factor for nutrition. The objective of this study is to assess the long-term prognostic effect of IDWG and its relationship with the nutrition...

background: inhibin is a dimeric glycoprotein that has a depressive effect on the anterior hypophyse secretion. the level of this tumor marker is undetectable in menopause women. in patients with gynecological cancer, especially granulosa and epidermal-type (mucinous), ovarian cancers considerable increase in the serum level of inhibin has been reported. the increased level of inhibin has been ...

Smoking is one of the major risk factors for ath-erosclerosis and develops coronary artery disease, cere-brovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease 1). It adversely affects the platelet and vascular endothelial function, inflammation, and oxidative stress 2). Moreover , it increases the incidence of atherogenic lipid profile (higher levels of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein ch...

PURPOSE Tumor risk stratification during diagnosis is paramount for children with medulloblastomas, primarily because very young patients (<3 years) suffer cognitive deficits from radio- and chemotherapy sequelae. Thus, distinguishing tumors that are biologically more aggressive is essential for medulloblastoma management to maximize the delay in radiation treatment without adversely affecting ...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted in 2013 in research lab of karaj islamic azad university to determine the yield and activity of chemical markers as the response to different concentrations of cadmium (cd) (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg of cd/kg of soil) in wheat cultivars (karaj 1 and karaj 2). treatments were tested in a factorial experiment with four replications in 7.5 kg plastic pots. the respon...

  Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) were calculated by using chromic oxide in the diet as an indigestible marker to evaluate the Iranian Cottonseed meal (CSMP) . Then, the nutritional value of cottonseed meal ( ‍ CSM) as soybean meal (SBM) substitute in quality low cost rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) ration was investigated. In this study, six formulated feeds consisting different ...

objective: to evaluate whether systemic inflammatory markers (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (nlr), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (plr) and red blood cell distribution width (rdw) to platelet ratio (rpr)) can be used as reliable markers for the diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency (poi) and to determine if there is a relationship between these markers and follicle stimulating hormone (fs...

background: the availability of testis specific genes will be of help in choosing the most promising biomarkers for the detection of testicular sperm retrieval in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (noa). testis specific chromodomain protein y 1 (cdy1) is a histone acetyltransferase which concentrates in the round spermatid nucleus, where histone hyperacetylation occurs and causes the re...
