Picoa species are hypogeous desert truffles, which can be found in semi-arid ranges of North Africa, West Asian, South of Europe and Middle East, including Iran (Moreno et al. 2000, Jamali & Banihashemi 2012, 2013). Picoa species form symbiosis mainly on roots of annual and perennial herbaceous plants of the Helianthemum, including H. ledifolium and H. salicifolium var. salicifolium (Jamali & B...

Adult neurogenesis, a concept emergent in the late 1990s, is the generation of new neurons in the adult brain. This process occurs thank to cells who have this proliferative feature, named as Neural Stem Cells (NSCs). Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) are primary progenitors who can generate the two neural types (neurons and glia). Classically it was assumed that NSCs are only present in the embryo, but...

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common malignant tumor worldwide and the second highest in developing countries (Jemal et al., 2010; Parkin, 2001; Siegel et al., 2012). It also ranks as the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide (Camargo et al., 2012; Yin et al., 2012). Moreover, nearly 47% of worldwide gastric cancer cases occur in China alone (Shen et al., 2013b). Currently rad...

Cancer is one of the most virulent, devastating and deadliest disease in the world and it represents the second leading cause of death worldwide (Jemal et al., 2008; Siegel et al., 2012), with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths in 2012 (Ferlay et al., 2015). Chemotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for metastatic cancers (Chang, 2010). Multidrug...

E uropean Journal of Psychotraumatology (EJPT) is now completing its third volume. It is exciting to see how the range of articles addressing both clinical issues as well as more basic research, include samples of simple and complex PTSD as well as other disorders such as substance use disorder (e.g. Gielen et al., 2012) or posttraumatic panic attacks (Joscelyne et al., 2012). The populations s...

Sex anomalies are one of the best-known cases of teratology among wild bees with different terms used to differentiate among such abnormalities. Gynandromorphs are individuals with genetically distinct male and female tissues while intersexes are genetically uniform individuals with expression of sexual features of the opposite sex. Among the three commonly accepted gynandromorph categories—bil...

Breast cancer is most frequently encountered cancer in women. It comprises 18% of all cancers in women. Risk for incident breast cancer is increased by advancing age (Siegel et al., 2012). Clinical behavior is characterized with a prolonged natural course and heterogeneity. Patients diagnosed as breast cancer carry metastasis risk for long periods and definition of cure is problematic. Treatmen...

This letter underpins the use of three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) reconstruction as an aid to teach veterinary anatomy. Cases were presented to students in order to observe normal and clinically abnormal patients. The images provided excellent details of relevant structures and could serve as a tool for teaching anatomy. Many sources describe different options to enhance anatomical...
