Background and aims: Hearing loss (HL) happens due to the genetic or environmental causes or both. Risk factors include congenital infections and congenital deformities of auricle and ear duct. The present study was performed to briefly explain the genetics, molecular biology and epidemiology of HL in Middle East especially in Iran. Methods: An intense an...

to determine the importance of q 10 h 2 as an antioxidant in cancer, we measured the activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase (q 10 h 2 recycling enzyme) in hl-60 and normal lymphocyte. the cultured cells of hl-60 and human normal lymphocytes were assayed in cell lysate of given number of both hl-60 and normal lymphocyte. the activity of lipoamide dehydrogenase and the protein concentration were det...

Synthetic retinoids have generated in the fields of dermatology and oncology due to their potent anti-proliferative and differentiation activities. We efficiently synthesized different demethyl geranylgeranoic acid (GGA) analogs, and evaluated their biological activities. Among the demethyl analogs synthesized, 3-demethyl derivative exhibited the highest anti-proliferative activity in HL-60 cel...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: In public health, health literacy (HL) is rather a new conception. In this regard, oral health as a critical public health issue that affects women’s health. The objective of the present study was to determine oral health self-care behavior and its relationship with HL.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed on 232 women who referred to health centers of Tabriz, Ir...

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) accounts for about 10% of all childhood cancers. Five-year survival rates with modern therapies are now approaching >90-95% as a consequence of its significant sensitivity to both chemotherapy and radiation. The current challenge is to determine how much therapy is needed to improve survival and how to adapt treatment to the patient to prevent these long term toxicities. T...

introduction: children learn to communicate by hearing sounds. if there is hearing loss, the cognitive and speaking abilities and language learning will deteriorate. early detection and intervention are important factors in the successful treatment of hearing loss in children. hearing loss (hl) is divided into two main groups: conductive hearing loss (chl) and sensorineural hearing loss (snhl),...

Abstract This study aims to synthesize seismic observations with gravity and magnetic data suggest a new scenario on the development of Harrat Lunayyir (HL) tectonic system eastern Red Sea coastline, Saudi Arabia. Gravity aeromagnetic anomalies distinctly mapped NE NW trends, while InSAR depict small NW–SE graben an dyke. High-resolution relocations, which are well-consistent focal mechanism so...
