Volume holographic phase gratings possessing the saturated refractive index modulation amplitudes as large as 4.5×10-2 were recorded at a wavelength of 532 nm in a photopolymerizable nanoparticle-polymer composite (NPC) film dispersed with ultrahigh refractive index hyperbranched-polymer (HBP) organic nanoparticles. This prominent result was…[Read more]

4%. The most common diagnoses were a laceration (19.4%), strain or sprain (17.8%), contusion or abrasion (17.6%), or fracture (13.0%). The affected body part was 53.6% head and neck, 31.1% upper extremity, 8.0% trunk, 6.5% lower extremity, and 0.7% other/unknown. The patient was treated, released, or transferred in 98.3% of the injuries.…[Read more]

an informatics curriculum; the provision of resident practice habits data by nearly all residency programs despite lack of clarity surrounding this Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirement; continued use of case-taking in the post-oral boards era; frequent disclosure of the Match rank list to departmental and hospital…[Read more]

T-cell-replete haploidentical transplant with PTIS, augmented John Hopkins conditioning and plerixafor based mobilization is a safe and effective way of treating patients suffering from SCD with minimal or no risk of graft failure and acceptable GvHD rates.Chlamydial disease control is increasingly utilised as a management tool to stabilise…[Read more]

INTRODUCTION The incidence and clinical outcome of pericardial and pleural effusion after cryoballoon ablation (CBA) or radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) have not been fully investigated. METHODS A total of 60 patients with paroxysmal AF were treated with either CBA (n = 30) or RFCA (n = 30) groups, with assessm…[Read more]

BACKGROUND The coatomer protein complex subunit beta 2 (COPB2) gene is upregulated and promotes cell proliferation in some cancer cells. This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA (miRNA) targeting by COPB2 gene expression in human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines, including NCI-H1975 cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS COPB2 expression in normal…[Read more]

Vaccination against HPV seems to be a good approach for prevention of cervical cancer and genital warts. But in Iran we are confronted with lack of evidence for its cost-effectiveness whereas its consumption is dramatically increasing. This was a cross- sectional study. We used a questionnaire including 5 sections as follows; Patients demographic…[Read more]

By using an inducible site-specific double-strand break (DSB) in budding yeast, it is possible to monitor-in real time-the repair of the break by homologous recombination. A method is described using an ectopic homologous donor sequence to repair an HO endonuclease-induced DSB. These gene conversion events can occur with or without crossing-over,…[Read more]
