Ninety- five percent of individuals with BCC are between 40 and 79 years old. It rarely occurs in younger individuals. Herein, a 20- year- old woman with type III skin, who had a BCC on her chin is presented. Since the clinic...

different ecologic factors influence on forming, development and sustaining of the plant communities, among which physiographic variables are the most important ones. the aim of this study was to identify forest types and effect of physiographical factors such as sea level height, slope and aspect of the site on quantitative characteristics of forest types in 2nd district of vaz forest with are...

Tropical forest condition has important implications for biodiversity, climate change and human needs. Structural features of forests can serve as useful indicators of forest condition and have the potential to be assessed with remotely sensed imagery, which can provide quantitative information on forest ecosystems at high temporal and spatial resolutions. Herein, we investigate the utility of ...

The objective of this study is to evaluate the capability of satellite imagery for the estimation of basal area in Northern Zagros Forests. The data of the high resolution geometric (HRG) sensor of SPOT-5 satellite dated in July 2005 were used. Investigation of the quality of Satellite images shows that these images have no radiometric distortion. Overlaying of geocoded images with the digital ...

we assessed different systolic cardiac indices to detect left and right ventricular systolic dysfunction in cirrhotic patients before liver transplantation. between 2010-2011, 81 consecutive individuals with confirmed hepatic cirrhosis who were a candidate for liver transplantation were enrolled in this study. a total of 32 age and sex matched healthy volunteers were also selected as the contro...
