purpose: to determine the prevalence of refractive errors in the students of mashhad university of medical sciences, iran methods: in this cross-sectional study, we used cluster sampling for selecting participants from every department of mashhad university of medical sciences, proportional to the number of students in each department. each participant received refraction examination with an au...

introduction: it is a common protocol to use 201tl for the rest and 99mtc for the stress cardiac spect imaging. theoretically, both types of imaging may be performed simultaneously using different energy windows for each radionuclide. however, a potential limitation is the cross-contamination of scattered photons from 99mtc and collimator x-rays into the 201tl energy window. we used a middle en...

purpose: to determine the prevalence of uncorrected refractive errors and its determinants in tehran in 2002. methods: a total of 6497 citizens representing a cross-section of the population of tehran were sampled using a stratified random cluster sampling strategy. of these, 4565 (70.3%) subjects participated in the study and were transferred to a clinic for an extensive eye examination and in...

avian infectious bronchitis (ib) is a widely distributed poultry disease that has huge economic impact on poultry industry. the continuous emergence of new ibv genotypes and lack of cross protection among different ibv genotypes have been an important challenge. the present study was done to evaluate protection caused by two different serotypes’ vaccines (massachusetts & 793/b) in order to eval...
