background the use of glycemic thresholds for diabetes diagnosis is controversial. however, no information is available regarding glycemic and glycated hemoglobin (hba1c) thresholds for detecting diabetic retinopathy (dr) in the iranian population. objectives the main purpose of the current investigation was to examine the association of fasting plasma glucose (fpg) and hba1c levels with diabet...

in this article, some diagnostic systems and the preliminary results of the ir-t1** (iran-tokamak 1) are presented. different diagnostic methods, including an array of soft x-ray detectors, visible spectrometer, electron cyclotron emission detector and electromagnetic measurement systems have been used and the hard disruptive instability occurring in the ir-t1 plasma during an ohmic heating dis...

Background: Major attention has been drawn to the prognostic value of plasma/serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) in children, but still no consensus has been reached. Accordingly, the present study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of this biomarker in detection of acute kidney injury in children through a systematic review and me...

In this paper, plasma main characteristics such as electron mean temperature, electron number density, and oscillation frequency have been measured experimentally using the double Langmuir probe diagnostic system. In our experiment, the plasma was generated by applying the low pressure dc glow discharge in several common gases. The experimental results indicated the highest plasma density and o...

conclusions plasma opn is comparable to afp as a diagnostic marker and is related to the severity of liver involvement in hcc patients. plasma opn is of diagnostic potential value in nafld. background osteopontin (opn) is a secreted glycoprotein and is frequently associated with various tumors. objectives we sought to investigate the clinical usefulness of the level of plasma opn, compared to α...

Background: Hypertension is one the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). One of the major concerns in hypertensive patients is early detection of renal disorders. In the past, serum creatinine (Scr) concentration was used as a marker of kidney function, but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate. Cystatin C and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocal...
