Background: Small autopsy studies and clinical practice indicated that carotid atherosclerosis develops in an asymmetrical helical pattern coinciding with regions of low shear stress. We investigated the distribution as determined by maximum intima-⊟media thickness (CIMT), to assess if we could confirm this atherosclerotic configuration across various populations different cardiovascular risk. Methods results: used individual baseline CIMT data from 3364 subjects four recent international...
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate whether there is a differential benefit of planned Cesarean delivery (CD) over vaginal (VD) in women with twin pregnancy and the first cephalic presentation, depending on prespecified baseline maternal characteristics, and/or gestational age (GA) at delivery. Methods This was secondary analysis Twin Birth Study, which included 2804 (Twin A) presentation between 32 + 0 38 6 weeks' gestation 106 centers 25 countries. Women were assigned randomly to either CD or...
OBJECTIVE: Cervical myelomeningocele (cMMC) is a rare disease. Only few series have been published regarding cMMC. Different issues the etiology, classification, clinical, surgical, and pathological aspects of cMMC are still matter conflict. METHODS: Sixteen children operated on for between July 2000 2003 were followed by neurosurgical service at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Tehran. The patients up 2 to 5 years (median, 3 yr). RESULTS: studied nine boys seven girls, ages 1 day 4...
As the voiding habits of Iranian children differs from other because some cultural and religious considerations, we aimed to establish normal reference values urinary flow rates in between 7 14 years age.Eight hundred two uroflowmetry studies were performed on with no history a renal, urological, psychological or neurological disorder, ages 14. Five twenty five 192 girls 335 boys considered this study excluding staccato/interrupted pattern voided volume less than 20 ml. The volume, maximum...
Selenium is a potential chemopreventive agent against prostate cancer. This study sought to evaluate and compare the serum selenium level in men with newly diagnosed cancer noncancerous patients. Between 2005 2006, this prospective case-control was performed on patients referred Sina Imam University hospitals, Tehran, Iran; it included 62 clinicopathologically confirmed diagnosis of (case group) 68 no detectable [normal digital rectal examination prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level] or any...
Erythrograms determined from whole blood analyses and serum for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities, iron concentration, were used in infected uninfected cattle to determine the type of anaemia degree hepatic damage caused by Fasciola hepatica. Blood samples 86 30 taken at slaughter. Haematological revealed decreased levels packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin mean corpuscular (MCH) concentration (MCHC) compared with (P...
The revised version of the International Federation Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system (2014) for epithelial ovarian cancer includes a number changes. One these is division stage IV into 2 subgroups. Data on prognostic predictive significance this classification are scarce. effect neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) versus primary debulking surgery (PDS) in relation to subclassification FIGO also unknown.We used data EORTC 55971 trial, which 670 patients with previous IIIC or were...
The ProTWIN Trial (NTR1858) showed that, in women with a multiple pregnancy and cervical length < 25(th) percentile (38 mm), prophylactic use of pessary reduced the risk adverse perinatal outcome. We investigated whether other maternal or characteristics collected at baseline can improve identification most likely to benefit from placement.ProTWIN is multicenter randomized trial which 808 were assigned control. Using these data we developed multivariable logistic model comprising treatment,...
Object Meningomyelocele (MMC) is a common central nervous system birth defect. As one of many problems facing patients with MMC, learning disabilities are often overlooked. The aim this study was to evaluate IQs in group children MMCs and determine if correlation exists between intelligence level the presence an MMC and/or its complications. Methods A case–control conducted at Children’s Hospital Medical Center Tehran, Iran, from December 2004 through 2005. patient included 50 5 12 years age...
We evaluated the outcome of pubic bone approximation and internal fixation using a miniature metal plate screws without osteotomy in children with bladder exstrophy.A total 17 exstrophy underwent surgery. Mean patient age was 27 months. Of patients 15 had history 1 or more failed closures osteotomy. All closure complete posterior anterior urethroplasty neck wrap. Both ureteral orifices were brought together by Gil-Vernet antireflux procedure. The pubes 3 deeply placed mm polyglactin sutures...
We evaluated the effect of Urocol injection for endoscopic treatment VUR in children.A total 208 children (62 boys and 146 girls, mean age 4.78 years) with 346 refluxing ureters underwent subureteral between January 2000 February 2002. VCUG was performed at 6 months, ultrasound 1 week 3 months postoperatively.Followup showed no evidence reflux 240 (69%), significant decrease grade 62 (18%) change 44 (13%).
