objective: interaction between genetic and environmental factors is considered as major factors in schizophrenia (scz). it has been shown that dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission dysfunction play an essential role in the scz pathogenesis. this study aimed to find the impact of functional 19-bp insertion/deletion (ins/del) polymorphism in dopamine beta-hydroxylase (dbh) gene on scz ...

Missing data are a major problem in the behavioral neurosciences, particularly when data collection is costly. Often researchers exclude cases with missing data, which can result in biased estimates and reduced power. Trying to avoid the deletion of a case because of a missing data point can be conducted, but implementing a naïve missing data method can result in distorted estimates and incorre...

the myelodysplastic syndrome (mds) is a highly heterogenous disorder and karyotype analysis is helpful for diagnostic and prognostic estimation. deletion in long arm chromosome 6 (6q del) as a sole abnormality is a rare event in mds. this is the first case report of del (6q) as the only observed diagnostic change in iran. we also reviewed the literature of this cytogenetic lesion.

This paper proposes an example driven approach to improve the quality of MT system outputs. Specifically, We extend the system combination method in SMT to combine the examples by two strategies: 1) estimating the confidence of examples by the similarity between source input and the source part of examples; 2) approximating target word posterior probability by the word alignments of the bilingu...

Introduction: Gaseous air pollutants can cause oxidative stress, which can lead to lung damage by inducing inflammation. Polymorphisms in the glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene are involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including lung disease. Two glutathione S-transferase Mu 1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) genes belong to this family, in which deletions occur ...
