introduction: as other attempts for prevention of disease by vaccination or early diagnosis of asymptomatic diseases (by screening examination of children in several ages), search for early diagnosis of renal diseases that are treatable or preventable is continuing. our review of other researches showed several different and paradoxical results about it's cost benefit; some researchers advise e...

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-associated myelopathy. Both diseases are usually preceded by a long clinically asymptomatic period. PCR amplification of the HTLV-I proviral integration sites shows that clonal expansion of HTLV-I-bearing T cells, rather than being an occasional phenomenon in nonma...

Helminth parasites infect almost one-third of the world's population, primarily in tropical regions. However, regions where helminth parasites are endemic record much lower prevalences of allergies and autoimmune diseases, suggesting that parasites may protect against immunopathological syndromes. Most helminth diseases are spectral in nature, with a large proportion of relatively asymptomatic ...

We investigated potential associations between MetS and asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) in a general population. METHODS The community-based "Asymptomatic Polyvascular Abnormalities in Community Study" examined asymptomatic polyvascular abnormalities in a Chinese population aged 40+ ye...
