Optimization of filter banks for specific input statistics has been of interest in the theory and practice of subband coding. For the case of orthonormal filter banks with infinite order and uniform decimation, the problem has been completely solved in recent years. For the case of biorthogonal filter banks, significant progress has been made recently, although a number of issues still remain t...

a 65 year old male with metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc) in the liver was referred for selective internal radionuclide therapy (sirt) following a history of extensive systemic chemotherapy. 90y pet imaging was performed immediately after treatment and used to confirm lesion targeting and measure individual lesion absorbed doses. lesion dosimetry was highly predictive of eventual response in ...

The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (GH) on target tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of TG-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine GHR gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle of Iran. The part of 5’...

  Background: Routine repeat testing of critical laboratory values is very common these days to increase their accuracy and to avoid reporting false or infeasible results. We figure that repeat testing of critical laboratory values has any benefits or not.   Methods : We examined 2233 repeated critical laboratory values in 13 different hematology and chemistry tests including: hemoglobin, white...

Background:Prostate cancer is increasing among Iranian men and gene polymorphisms may play a role in the development of prostate cancer. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene polymorphisms have been deeply explored in different malignancies. In this study, we aimed to explore the association of IGF1 CA repeat length polymorphism with the risk of prostate cancer development i...

conclusions using male methods are prevalent in abortion-seeker women. an increased focus is needed on training the regular use of pills and using the emergency contraception for all of the couples who are first-time abortion-seekers. moreover, information about the role of forced sex might be efficacious in decreasing illegally induced repeat abortion in couples who use condom or withdrawal me...
