The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influences helium–neon (He–Ne) and infrared (IR) lasers on viability proliferation rate healthy ovariectomy-induced osteoporotic (OVX) bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) in vitro. MSCs harvested from BM OVX rats were culture expanded. He–Ne IR applied three times at energy densities 0.6, 1.2, 2.4??J/cm2 for BMMSCs. BMMSCs evaluated by MTT assay days 2, 4, 6, 14, 21. results showed that responded optimally 0.6??J/cm2 using an laser after...

Introduction: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of diabetes patients. Among different therapeutic approaches for treating DPN, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM) a new promising non-invasive technique. This study aims to evaluate effect visible and infra-red LLLT on DPN. Methods: Sixty DPN patients enrolled in randomized-controlled study. The were randomly divided into same population control groups. group received with two...

Because one of the major sites for metastasis thyroid cancers is lung, studying pattern pulmonary may provide useful information effective treatment these patients. In this study, by assessing pattern, we aimed to identify factors that affect prognosis and response in patients with differentiated carcinoma (DTC) metastasis.This retrospective study included 75 DTC who were referred our nuclear medicine section over a period 10 years. The data obtained analyzed regard assess effects on...

Introduction: Diabetes is a highly prevalent disease worldwide. Despite routine treatments, there no effective treatment approach for patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). A new to reduce complications and control DFU low-level laser therapy (LLLT). In the present study, we evaluated therapeutic effects of LLLT on symptoms patients. Methods: Sixty were included in this randomized clinical trial randomly allocated into two groups (n=30) signed written consent. The group underwent visible...

Introduction: Unhealthy lifestyle choices such as alcohol, chemicals, and heat stress can worsen male infertility. Heat cause damage to the essential structure known blood-testis barrier (BTB). Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has been employed in various studies enhance sperm quality individuals with genital inflammatory conditions recent times. The current research sought study how laser affects spermatogenesis of BTB a mouse model scrotal exposure. Methods: Thirty adult NMRI mice, 8...

The amount of 131I necessary for successful ablation in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is still subject to debate. This study investigates the relationship absorbed dose radiation blood while administering activity several other parameters DTC patients. prospective included 90 who were classified into three groups according their level dosage: 3.7 GBq (38.9%), 5.55 (55.6%), and 7.4 (5.5%). Blood dosimetry treated was performed using external whole-body counting a Geiger...

Introduction: Stroke is one of the most devastating neurologic conditions in world. Despite all efforts that have been made for effective treatment, prevalence this medical condition still high. One new methods treatment patients use low power laser and pulsed magnetic fields. The previous studies investigated effectiveness these individually. However, present study aimed to investigate their combination. Methods: We divided into control (n=26) experimental groups. primary variables included...

Purpose.: To investigate the short-term effects of extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) on healing alkaline-burned corneas in rabbits. Methods.: Fifty-six from 56 rabbits were categorized into four groups: ELF-PEMF therapy with 2 mTesla (mT) intensity (ELF 2) for 30 minutes twice daily, 5 mT 5) medical (MT), and controls. Clinical examination together digital photography was performed days 0, 2, 7, 14. After euthanizing rabbits, affected eyes evaluated by way...

Objective: To investigate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a new nonpharmaceutical approach to improve cognitive symptoms in patients with dementia. Background: Routine pharmacological treatment dementia is inefficient and has considerable adverse effects. Recent attempts develop approaches are considered favorable for Methods: Thirty-two were randomly divided into same population LLLT sham groups. The group underwent transcranial LLLT, received protocol zero-intensity laser....

It is shown that beta-D-glucan an immunologic system booster with radioprotectory effects. Radioprotectors are chemical components can alleviate biological damage produced by ionizing radiation.This study was designed to investigate the synergistic effects of and vitamin E on irradiated mice 60Co source.A total 240 female were arranged in four, equal population groups control group (C), treated beta D-glucan (G), (E), both (G+E). Each divided into three D6, D7 D8 exposed radiation prescribed...

A great deal of evidence has confirmed that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can affect the central nervous system. In this study, cultured neonatal human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells were exposed to pulsed EMF 1 mT intensity and 50 Hz frequency 8 h daily for 3 days. addition cell proliferation death assays, immunocytochemistry RPE65, PAX6, nestin, cytokeratin 8/18 proteins performed. Real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed NES, ACTA2 gene...

In view of the rapid expansion diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures in Iran, this study was undertaken to examine trends practice country and determine mean effective dose equivalent per patient capita. Comprehensive national data covering 93% all centers 1985–1989 were obtained. The total number examinations increased by 42% during these years. relative frequency thyroid investigations 84% followed liver/spleen bone (7% 6%, respectively). 99mTc radionuclide choice for 86% investigation...

Use of unsealed radiopharmaceuticals in Iran’s nuclear medicine centers has expanded rapidly the last decade. As part a nationwide survey, this study was undertaken to estimate radiation risk due diagnostic procedures performed Tehran 1999–2003. During five years study, data 101,540 yearly examinations were obtained for 34 (out 40) active Tehran. The patients studied aged 1 y, 5 10 15 and adults (>15 y). Compared an earlier investigation 1989 (which published 1995), striking changes found be...
