background: today the use of laparoscopy before laparotomy is an effective method for decision-making in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma. the reliance on ct scans for decision-making purposes is not only unhelpful, yet also misleading . nonetheless, indications for laparoscopy and its application are changing daily. the low quality of diagnostic tools and epidemiological situation in our c...

background: differentiation between the muscularis mucosae (mm) and muscularispropria (mp) of the bladder remains challenging. objective: to identify mm- and mp-specific antigens that could be of potential value for staging of urothelialcarcinomain a pilot study. method: the expression of 12 protein antigens in 11 human bladder specimens was examined. there were 5 post radical cystectomy specim...

Elevated water tanks supported by the reinforced concrete (RC) Staging are classified as inverted pendulum structures. These are considered as structures of high post-earthquake importance and should remain functional after the seismic events. National codes of various countries recommend Force-Based Design (FBD) procedure for water tank staging, which does not ensure nonlinear performance leve...

In this study, the missile staging process by implementing a side-injected jet is simulated numerically. The problem is considered to be axisymmetric and the thin shear layer approximation of Navier-Stokes equations along with an algebraic turbulence model is used in a quasi-static form for the calculations. The free stream corresponds to a very high altitude flight condition with a Mach number...

rectal cancer is the second most common cancer in large intestine. the prevalence and the number of young patients diagnosed with rectal cancer have made it as one of the major health problems in the world. with regard to the improved access to and use of modern screening tools, a number of new cases are diagnosed each year. considering the location of the rectum and its adjacent organs, manage...

background & objectives: oral submucous fibrosis (osmf) is a condition where excessive deposition of dense collagen fibers occurred in the connective tissue of oral mucosa. an alteration of collagen necessitates an in depth understanding of collagen in oral tissues as no breakthrough studies have been reported. therefore the aim was to correlate the clinical, functional and histopathologica...

breast cancer (bc) accounts for one of the major health problems around the world. since the diagnosis process can have great effect on therapy outcomes, we studied the biomarkers specific to breast tumors stage i based on examining different iranian patients. cases from different stages were examined to discover their highly expressed proteins. in addition, pathologic evaluations were performe...
