Background: Cutaneous lymphomas are monoclonal neoplastic proliferations of immune cells most frequently T or B cells that infiltrates skin. Development of new diagnostic methods, particularly those for immunophenotyping, have substantially changed classification of these neoplasms. These reasons prompted us to perform this study. Objective: To re-classify cutaneous lymphomas and pseudoly...

Introduction: Cadmium is recognized worldwide as a toxic metal. In this study, Solvent-Assisted Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction (SA-DSPE) combined with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS), was used for determination of trace amounts of Cadmium (Cd-II)) in drinking water samples.

Background and Aims: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common adult human leukemia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression. Research has shown that in CLL, microRNAs can have function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Some studies demonstrated that the expression of microRNA-93 (miR-93) and microRNA-330 (miR-330) have been changed in several can...

Using standardized forms for prescription and administration of medications is one of the main solutions for reducing medication errors in the chemotherapy process. Considering the high prevalence and mortality rate of colorectal cancer, in this study we tried to design and validate a standard printed form and evaluate oncologists’ and nurses’ adherence to this form. This cross-sectional study ...

β-thalassemia, a monogenic autosomal recessive disorder, is prevalent in middle east, particularly in iran. in iran, near to 20 mutations in the β-globin gene are introduced as common mutations with varying incidence frequencies in each city. therefore, detection and screening for couples at high risk can help to solve the problems of this disease. in this study, optimized genotyping of two com...

in order to study on adaptability and grain yield stability of eight bread wheat cultivars (alvand, alamout, zarrin, navid, azar 2, sabalan, omid and bezostiya), a rcbd experiment was conducted during three cropping seasons (2007-2010) at six locations (sanandaj, gorveh, marivan, divandarreh, saggez and baneh). simple analysis of variance (anova) and combined anova for three years in each locat...
