We characterized rabbit antisera to synthetic human calcitonin that specifically recognize the aminoand carboxy-terminal regions of calcitonin (antisera 1-506 and HMS-385, respectively), by both classical (parallelism of dose-response curves) and (owing to the unavailability of a variety of analog fragments of human calcitonin) biochemical plus enzymic alteration of synthetic human calcitonin. ...

Objectives: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common endocrine disease in children. Massage therapy can improve glucose metabolism in DM. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Swedish massage on the Glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) in children with DM. Methods: This study was an semi-experimental (clinical trial) conducted on thirty-six children, 6-12 years old with (DM), recruited fro...

Gastric cancer is common in men with 65% of patients being male. It the second digestive after colorectal and cause death by cancer, incidence increases age. The prognosis poor, surgical treatment remains choice. Chemotherapy indicated operable forms as adjuvant treatment, but especially locally advanced or metastatic forms. This a retrospective study conducted Oncology Department military hosp...

Background: Determining the mortality rate of diseases in a community is one of the main components in health care planning of that community. This study used a join point regression model to determine the trend of mortality due to diabetes mellitus (DM) in Iran. Materials and Methods: The data on the rate of mortality due to DM were obtained from the reports of the Iranian Ministry of Healt...

In this experiment eight 1,600 mL dual-flow continuous culture fermenters were used to measure the fermentation pattern of cultivable and pasture forages in camel. Two adult camels were used as rumen inocula donors. Fermenters were fed with 120 g of DM/d in 3 equal portions at 08:00, 16:00, and 24:00 h. The trial contained two treatments of four replicate each in a completely randomized design....
