objective: the purpose of this pilot study was to determine whether the mri and biomarkers human epididymis protein 4 (he 4 ) and ca 125 correlate with depth of myometrial invasion, histologic grade, cervical involvement and nodal metastases in patients with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the uterus. materials and methods: this was a prospective, observational study in women with biopsy-proven ...

endometrial adenocarcinoma is uncommon in fewer than 40-year-old people. the first common sign and symptoms are abnormal vaginal bleeding and discharge. metastasis is occurred in the late stage. here we present a 31-year-old nullipar woman who was admitted to surgical ward with enlarged right inguinal lymphnode from one month ago. she had no history of previous malignancy, infectious condition,...

objective: the aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate small-diameter (3.3 mm) straumann® dental implants placed in the maxilla or the mandible over a period of 5 years in function. materials and methods: twenty- eight partially edentulous patients received a total of 48 implants over a 5-year period. after the standard healing period (3 to 6 months), the implants were restored...

background: there are some controversial data on application of progesterone and progesterone plus estrogen at luteal phase. objective: to investigate the effects of different luteal support hormones on the alkaline phosphates (alp) activity in the endometrial epithelium and endometrial thickness during superovulation process for obtaining the optimized endometrial receptivity in animal model. ...

In order to study changes occurring on the surfaces of human endometrial epithelial cells in the presence of an implanted blastocyst, we used scanning electron microscopy for investigation of five endometrial biopsies and three human implantation sites obtained in vitro. All specimens showed areas with endometrial pinopodes, separated by cells displaying microvilli or cilia at the apical surfac...

OBJECTIVE Montelukast, a selective antagonist of Type 1 cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CysLT1Rs), antagonizes the proinflammatory and proasthmatic activities of CysLT1Rs. We investigated the effect of montelukast on a surgically induced endometriosis rat model. STUDY DESIGN Thirty-two sexually mature, cycling, female Wistar-Albino rats, in which endometriotic implants were surgically induce...

background and aims. all-on-four technique involves the use of tilted implants to allow for shorter cantilevers. this finite element analysis aimed at investigating the amount and distribution of stress in maxillary bone surrounding the implants with all-on-four vs. frequently used method with six implants technique using different numbers and inclination angles. materials and methods. a 3d ede...

objective: at present, treatment of edentulous areas with implant-supported prosthesis has greatly increased. the aim of this study was to assess the survival rate of implants with different diameters. methods: this retrospective study was conducted on 239 warfare victims presenting to qazi tabatabaie clinic during 2000-2010. a total of 1,649 implants were placed. the success criteria included ...

introdouction: although highly desirable outcomes and longterm survival of dental implant treatments are well documented, implant failures still occur due to various reasons. several risk factors may impair implant survival including implant dimensions (length, diameter, and implant design), procedures, local bone density at the implant site, and patient-related risk factors such as age, smokin...
