objective: acute inflammatory demyelinating peripheral neuropathy (guillain-barre-syndrome) is by far the most common cause of immune-medicated peripheral nervous system disease in children; with the near disappearance of poliomyelitis, gbs is responsible for the great majority of cases of acute flaccid paralysis. so far, in several controlled studies, corticosteroids, plasmapheresis and ivig h...

Anal fissure is an ischemic ulcer that occurs in anoderm and it has no obvious etiology and pathophysiology in current medicine. Anal fissure has a profound history in Persian and Persian medicine and wallflower (Erysimum cheiri (L.) Crantz) has been a common medication in this case. Traditional oil and/or dilute decoction of wallflower has been introduced as an effective topical medic...

introduction: occupational exposure to ionizing radiation due to medical activities (both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures) has increased sharply in recent years. among the occupationally exposed workers in these fields, those most affected by this increased exposure to ionizing radiation are nuclear medicine workers. in this study, annual average effective dose, annual collective effectiv...

background: annual patient effective dose equivalent can be considered as a quantitative physical parameter describing the activities performed in each nuclear medicine department. annual staff dose equivalent could be also considered as a parameter describing the amount of radiation risk for performing the activities. we calculated the staff to patient dose equivalent ratio to be used as a phy...

introduction: active personal dosimeters (apds) are well accepted as useful and reliable instruments for individual dosimetry measurements. apds have many advantages compared with passive dosimeters for individual external radiation dose assessments. in routine monitoring, occupational exposure is carried out for verification and demonstration of compliance with the regulatory dose limits. so, ...

background: this study was performed to compare the effects of low dose interferon beta-1 (ifn-β-1) (cinnovex, 30 mcg) and high dose ifn-β-1 (rebif, 44 mcg) on the reduction of the number and size of plaques in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms). methods: this historical cohort study, which was performed in 2014 in sanandaj (western part of iran). 43 ms pa...

Introduction The paper recently published by Carello R. et al. Long-term treatment with Low Dose Medicine in chronic childhood eczema. A double-blind two-stage randomized clinical trial (IJP 2017 43:78) highlights a new possible therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic childhood eczema. It is based on the oral administration of low doses activated interleukin 12 and Interferon-γ in ord...
