To examine the effect of using different b-values on utility diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI in differentiating acute infectious spondylitis from Modic type 1 and discriminative accuracy related apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), claw-sign amorphous increased signal.43 patients with equivocal diagnosis spondylitis/Modic by MR images were prospectively studied. The DW three 50, 400, 800 s mm(-2), ADC, claw sign signal was examined.DW differentiated change most accurately when a b-value mm(-2)...
Complete SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing in the early phase of outbreak Iran showed two independent viral entries. Subsequently, as part a surveillance project, we aimed to characterize genetic diversity over one year after emerging.We provided 319 whole-genome sequences used monitor circulating lineages March 2020-May 2021 time interval.The temporal dynamics major clades/lineages is comparable global perspective and represent 19A clade (B.4) dominating first disease wave, followed by 20A...
Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate effect metformin in complication improvement hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Methods: This was a randomized clinical trial that involved 189 confirmed COVID-19 infection. Patients intervention group received metformin-500 mg twice daily. who before admission were excluded from control group. discharged taking at least 2000 study. Primary outcomes vital signs, need for ICU admission, intubation, and mortality. Results: Data showed diabetes...
The envelope (E) protein of globally circulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2) is highly conserved. This study aimed to find the mutation rate E genes in COVID-19 patients, and also evaluate conformational characteristics viral protein.
Background: Global real-time monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants is crucial to controlling the COVID-19 outbreak. The purpose this study was set up a Sanger-based platform for massive variant tracking in laboratories low-resource settings. Methods: We used nested RT-PCR assay, Sanger sequencing and lineage assignment 930-bp spike gene, which harbors specific concern (VOCs) mutations. our by comparing its results with whole genome (WGS) data on 137 positive samples. Then, we applied it 1028...
Abstract SARS-CoV-2 genome surveillance projects provide a good measure of transmission and monitor the circulating variants at regional global scales. Iran is one most affected countries still involved with virus in least five significant disease waves, as September 2021. Complete sequencing 50 viral isolates an early phase outbreak Iran, shed light on origins lineages that time. As part genomic program, we provided additional 319 complete genomes from October 2020 onwards. The current...
This study was done to evaluate in vitro susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis of clarithromycin. In this prospective study, 90 M. tuberculosis strains (40 resistant strains and 50 susceptible strains) referred the Tabriz laboratory of TB research Center were selected cultured in L-J medium with 3 doses 40 strains sensitive first line drugs. 60% clarithromycin 20 µg/ml. Significant difference not found if rate of M. 40 µg/ml all...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has proven to be a diagnostic challenge. Early studies have shown that computed tomography (CT) imaging may useful in diagnosis of these patients. We aim report CT findings series hospitalized patients.A total 81 patients were included this study. All the and had SARS-CoV-2 infection by molecular assay. scan on first day admission. Imaging results reviewed two separate radiologists, documented.Seventy-eight abnormal imaging, while...
