background: gastroesophageal reflux (ger), defined as passage of gastric contents into the esophagus, and ger disease (gerd), defined as symptoms or complications of ger, are common pediatric problems. the value of commonly used diagnostic tests for ger is examined to define the most sensitive and specific test that is the least invasive as well. materials and methods: we conducted this cross s...

chronic myeloid leukemia (cml) is a myeloproliferative disease. the cytogenetic hallmark of cml is philadelphia (ph) chromosome. this study aimed to diagnose suspected cml patients, to monitor cml patients under therapy using cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (fish) techniques to analyze their bone marrow (bm) and peripheral blood (pb) samples, and finally to compare their obta...

Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic...

three experiments were conducted to study metabolizable energy, protein quality and chemical composition of four blood meal (bm) samples from local animal rendering plant during 20 days sampling. all experiments were designed in a completely randomized design. the result of first experiment showed that chemical composition averages of bm samples were: dm, 88.43; cp, 77.03; ee, 1.12; ash, 5.01; ...

A collection of related N by M images, such as a set of faces, may be modeled by a manifold embedded in an NM -dimensional Euclidean space called an image manifold. With the modeling of image spaces as manifolds, geometric properties of image manifolds can be studied either theoretically or experimentally. A practical result of the investigation of image manifolds provides an insight into image...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of CSF lactate (L(CSF)) for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis (BM) following neurosurgery, and compare it with other CSF markers. METHODS Prospective study of consecutive neurosurgical postoperative patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Maciel Hospital. Patients with clinical suspicion of BM were categorised, according to preset c...

the present study was initiated to derive an indirect method for estimating body fat mass (bfm) and to evaluate the correlation between indirect anthropometric techniques for this estimation and to examine the relation of these parameters and of iq to age of menarche. a total of 578 adolescent girls of ten junior high schools in five educational districts of mashhad, participated in a cross sec...
