background & aim: glioblastoma multiforme (gbm), the highest grade glioma (grade iv), is the most malignant form of astrocytoma in adults. this study aimed at evaluating the relationship between demographic, clinical and medical factors with gbm outcome. methods & materials/patients: through a cross-sectional design, 58 patients with newly diagnosed gbm were studied from 1999 to 2015 in guilan ...

Mealiness degrades the quality of apples and plays an important role in fruit market. Therefore, the use of reliable and rapid sensing techniques for nondestructive measurement and sorting of fruits is necessary. In this study, the potential of acoustic signals of rolling apples on an inclined plate as a new technique for nondestructive detection of Red Delicious apple mealiness was investigate...

This technical report provides an overview on the support vector machines that have been designed during the recent years for the identification of microRNA sequences. Our aim is to arrive in the end to identify potential ways in which the quality of such machine learning methods could be further improved, knowing that the rate of false positves they produce is still too high.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutations have been discovered to be frequent and highly conserved in secondary glioblastoma multiforme and lower-grade gliomas. Although IDH1 mutations confer a unique genotype that has been associated with a favorable prognosis, the role of the mutated IDH1 enzyme and its metabolites in tumor initiation and maintenance remains unresolved. However, given that ...

A 37-year-old woman with known glioblastoma multiforme was admitted for treatment of new deep vein thrombosis. Anion gap and plasma lactate levels were found to be elevated. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a stable, advanced glioblastoma multiforme. All causes of lactic acidosis, including infections and medications, were ruled out. Aggressive tumors have been shown to produce la...
