Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most common type of leukemia in children. Although prognostic and diagnostic tests of AML patients have improved, there is still a great demand for new reliable clinical biomarkers for AML. Read-through fusion transcripts (RTFTs) are complex transcripts of adjacent genes whose molecular mechanis...

Background: Precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is one of the most common types of leukemias in children. The majority of B-ALL patients are distinguished by chromosomal rearrangements; however, alternative splicing and epigenetic deregulations can also change the expression level of transcripts correlated with B-ALL. Therefore, t...

Objective The importance of ultrasound in diagnosing pulmonary invasive fungal diseases (IFD) has yet to be assessed. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the frequency of sonographic findings in patients suspected of an invasive pulmonary fungal infection. Material and Methods This prospective longitudinal study examined all patients with lung lesi...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of blood and bone marrow which is a major subtype of leukemia that characterized by abnormal proliferation of immature myeloid cells. Although the prognosis approaches of AML has gradually improved but there is demand to find more confident AML biomarkers for prognosis and diagnosis. Some of the most importa...

Background: Nausea and vomiting are among the most important side-effects associated with chemotherapy in children with cancer, affecting the quality of their lives. Clinical guidelines for selecting antiemetics are effective in reducing acute chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Materials and Methods: The present quasi-experimental stu...

Background The early diagnosis of invasive fungal diseases is important because the therapeutic outcome depends on the prompt initiation of appropriate interventions. In this study, we present the feature of ultrasound of pulmonary fungal infection in six children with leukemia. Method and Patients: Between June and November 2020, this cross-sectio...

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most prevalent autoimmune disease, in which CCL2 and CCL5 are critically involved. The objective was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the foregoing chemokines in RA patients. Materials and methods: Thirteen RA patients were evaluated in terms...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of intellectual capital on the Tobin's Q rate and the efficiency of the companies' stock listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. Methodology: To calculate the rate of value-added intellectual capital, Pulic model and to measure the financial performance, the Tobin's Q rate- one of the crit...

The Karun River is considered to be the longest Iranian river with 855 km length. The river is divided into two branches, 4 km away from the Arvand River, which is a branch of the Bahmanshir River in the north of Abadan, and another branch of the Namkarun River (the Azodi Channel) that flows into the Arvand River. The intersection of the Karun Rive...

In the present study, we aimed to evaluate effects of autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) intravenous administration on the response of B cells, BAFF, APRIL, and their receptors on the surface of B cells at 1, 6, and 12 month follow-up periods in refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Thirteen patients with refractory RA received autol...

In this Study, the effect of voluntary disclosure of Intellectual capital information on the stock return of the listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange will be discussed. Methodology: According to Li (2007) and Ibikunle (2013), a dummy variable was defined and the required items for intellectual disclosure were designed. Then, by assessing the i...

In this Study, the effect of voluntary disclosure of Intellectual capital information on the stock return of the listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange will be discussed. A dummy variable was defined and the required items for intellectual disclosure were designed. By referring to the financial statements and reports of the board of directors wa...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune arthropathy characterized by synovial hyperplasia leading to functional impairment. Although the exact cause of RA is unknown, there is evidence suggesting the role of T cell subtypes in the pathogenesis of RA. Conventional therapy in some RA patients is associated with mild or severe s...

Background and Aim: Bone marrow (BM)-derived Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multi-potential to form various cells. The BM-MSCs have high proliferation capacity and can be differentiated to chondrocytes, and so, they can facilitate the repair of osteoarthritis (OA)-induced damages. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-ar...
