â  background: the relationship between subfertiltiy and celiac disease has been well described and may be the only presenting feature of celiac disease. therefore, this study was designed to show the prevalence of celiac disease in unexplained infertility among iranian patients in tehran, iran. â  methods: this case-control study includes 125 patients with primary unexplained infertility and 1...

Abstract: Growing global international travel has reflected significantly on the number of imported cases malaria into non endemic regions world inclusive Saudi Arabia were transmission disease is controlled. This success in control could be challenged by influx disease. research looks at genetic diversity merozoite proteins 1 and 2 (msp msp 2) Plasmodium falciparum gene cases. Blood samples co...

Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts of stem bark of Terminalia glaucescens on the eggs and larval stages of Haemonchus contortus of sheep. Methods: The eggs were exposed for 24 hours in five different concentrations (625, 1250, 2500, 3750 and 5000 μg/ml) of methanol, hot water (decoction) and cold water extracts at room temperature (25 ̊C). Distilled ...

BACKGROUND Despite evidence suggesting roles for caspase-8 (CASP8) -652 6N del and D302H polymorphisms in prostate cancer (PCa), the association of these polymorphisms with PCa risk remains inconclusive. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to more precisely estimate the association of CASP8 -652 6N del and D302H polymorphisms with PCa susceptibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive...

A lacuna is an area of infarction within the territory of a single perforated artery. Lacuna patients may present with numerous clinical syndromes. Lacunae typically present with highly focal brain symptoms (1). The clinical expression of lacunar infarcts is related to their location. Lacunae are more frequent in the basal ganglia, internal capsule, pons, and corona radiate (1); therefore, cort...

The relationship between the CaM-CaMK-CREB signal pathway and the treatment for cervical spondylosis by guizhi plus gegen decoction was studied. Group intervention on fibrous ring cells of cervical intervertebral disc of adult rats by medicine serum mixed with Guizhi plus Gegen decoction, blank serum and fetal calf serum respectively was made. Detect by MTT colorimetric assay the growth curve o...

We describe two optical systems based on the radial basis function approach to pattern classification. An optical disk based system for handwritten character recognition is demonstrated. The optical system computes the Euclidean distance between an unknown input and 650 stored patterns at a demonstrated rate of 26,000 pattern comparisons per second. The ultimate performance of this system is li...

A Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN)-based technique Abstract has been in routine use for data mining the 3 million suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the WHO database of suspected ADRs of as part of the signal-detection process since 1998. Data mining is used to enhance the early detection of previously unknown possible drug-ADR relationships, by highlighting combin...
