Background and Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the collagen fibers qualitatively and its correlation with microvascular density in various grades of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF).   Material and Methods: The present study comprised of total 40 cases of oral submucous fibrosis. Picrosirius red staining was done on all the specimens’ sections. ...

Background: Monte Carlo simulations play a vital role in the calculation of the necessary shielding both for neutrons and photons. Advanced and simple shielding materials against neutron and gamma rays were compared by simulation using the MCNB4B Monte Carlo code. The simulations were carried out for the three common neutron sources, namely the 252Cf, the 241Am/Be and the DD neutron generator w...

background: gastric cancer is an important health problem across the world. chemotherapy in combination with local treatment is standard treatment for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancers. the purpose of this investigation was evaluation of response and tolerability to neoadjuvant eox regimen in locoregionally advanced gastric cancer. materials and methods: patients with locoregionally adv...

purpose: to evaluate patients with advanced retinopathy of prematurity (rop) among neonates referred to poostchi rop clinic in shiraz from march 2006 to february 2008. methods: among referred infants to poostchi clinic for screening and management of rop, medical records of patients with advanced rop (stage 5) at initial examination or during disease progression were evaluated. information rega...

Using the ring of complex quaternions, the more active view of weakly coupled gauge fields is formulated in such a way that, in the SU(.2) x U(1) model of Salam, Ward, and Weinberg, for example, AS # 0, AQ 2 0 effects are properly suppressed without the appearance of a new quark field in the Lagrangian-only p, n, and h. quark fields appear. Here, S is strangeness and Q is electric charge. The s...

People learn social cue-outcome relationships and use this knowledge to guide their behavior, even in the absence of explicit knowledge of social contingencies. The aim of the current study was to investigate variations in implicit social learning abilities between typically developed individuals with low and high number of autistic traits, as assessed by the AQ questionnaire. In the learning p...
