background: good cytological sample is very important for the cytological diagnosis of thyroid nodules. the aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of prepared samples by the combination of aspiration and non- aspiration fine needle biopsy. methods: in this descriptive – analytical study, sampling was done simultaneously for each patient in fine needle aspiration and non-aspiration biops...

background & objective: chronic non healing ulcers or scar undergoing malignant transformation is a rare phenomenon with an estimated incidence of 2%. though, numerous predisposing factors have been identified, still it is rarely diagnosed and commonly mistaken for a benign condition. the objective of this study was to verify the efficacy of the fine needle aspiration cytology/ scrape cytol...

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition.
