marfan’s syndrome (mfs) is a genetic disorder associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. in mfs, the most prevalent cause of death is cardiovascular involvement. here we introduce a family with a severe penetration of mfs. eleven members of this family have mfs (father, two daughters, three sons, and five grandchildren). the most common cardiac involvement in our patients was mitral valve ...

soft tissue-implant interface is an important anatomical feature contributing to the long-term success of dental implants. based on the available evidence, different factors may influence biological width around implants including the surgical technique, implant loading, implant surface properties, abutment materials, implant position, and width of the peri-implant mucosa. the purpose of the pr...

This paper consider the   general  forms of $(alpha,beta)$-fuzzyleft ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interior ideals) of an orderedsemigroup, where$alpha,betain{in_{gamma},q_{delta},in_{gamma}wedgeq_{delta}, in_{gamma}vee q_{delta}}$ and $alphaneqin_{gamma}wedge q_{delta}$. Special attention is paid to$(in_{gamma},ivq)$-left ideals (right ideals, bi-ideals, interiorideals) and some related  pr...

As special depositional environments which are adjacent to the seas, deltas have provided a field for human habitat establishment. Geomorphic features of deltas are in constant transformation due to their dynamic features. Constructing dams on rivers can intensify these changes and cause either negative or positive consequences. Minab delta in Hormozgan Province of Iran is a round or crescent-s...

background : an elevation in the mean percentages of the gamma delta t lymphocytes per total t cells in the epithelium of the small intestine has a diagnostic value for celiac disease.  this study aimed to measure the percentages of the peripheral blood gamma delta t lymphocytes in the adults' celiac disease and healthy controls. materials and methods: in this case-control study the absolute nu...

Fluid and solute flux between the pleural and peritoneal cavities, although never documented under physiological conditions, might play a relevant role in pathological conditions associated with the development of ascitis and pleural effusion and/or in the processes of tumor dissemination. To verify whether a pleuroperitoneal flux might take place through the diaphragmatic lymphatic network, th...

Background & Objective: FLT3-ITD mutation detection has been an integral part of diagnostic work ups focused on acute myeloid leukemia. However, some studies have indicated that the mutation is unstable during the various stages of the disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stability of this marker in paired diagnosis-relapse samples using Delta-PCR method. Materials & Methods:...

background and aims: hdv is a defective satellite virus and classified in genus deltavirus. its disease is related and limited to hbv-infected patients. acute infection of delta agent occurs in two different patterns simultaneous infection with both hbv & hdv or super infection of chronically hbv infected patients that lead to more sever type of hepatitis. according to genetic diversity of geno...
