A Case Report: An Unusual Variation in the Facial Artery.

The facial artery is the main artery supplying the face occasionally. It gives three branches on the face, the inferior labial, the superior labial, and the lateral nasal, and terminates as the angular artery. Due to congenital vascular variations in the facial artery, it has been considered in the dissection of the head and neck region.

Pomegranate seed extract enhances the inhibitory effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on breast cancer cell line in co-culture conditions.

Background And Purpose: Pomegranate seed extract (PSE) possesses anticancer activities and healing effects. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are being considered a new candidate for cancer treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of PSE on the cell cycle and apoptosis of the MCF-7 cell line in the co-culture condition with ADSCs.

Therapeutic effects of human adipose mesenchymal stem cells and their paracrine agents on sodium iodate induced retinal degeneration in rats.

Aims: The degeneration of retinal neurons which occurs in many neurodegenerative diseases of retina such as retinitis pigmentosa and aged-related macular degeneration, is a progressive phenomenon and leads to permanent visual disability. Aside from their economic and social impact, those who suffer from these diseases have a poor quality of life due to the lack of cures. Researchers have turned to stem cell therapies as a potential solution to this global health crisis.

Therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells-derived extracellular vesicles' miRNAs on retinal regeneration: a review.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which consist of microvesicles and exosomes, are secreted from all cells to transform vital information in the form of lipids, proteins, mRNAs and small RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Many studies demonstrated that EVs' miRNAs have effects on target cells. Numerous people suffer from the blindness caused by retinal degenerations.

Diagnostic value of intravenous oxygen saturation compared with arterial and venous base excess to predict hemorrhagic shock in multiple trauma patients.

Introduction: In this study, with the help of peripheral vein sampling, Spvo2, and peripheral artery and vein sampling, we examined base excess (BE) in trauma patients and determined its diagnostic value for hemorrhagic shock.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, from 64 patients with abdominal, pelvic and chest Blunt trauma who have a score of 2 or higher trauma during treatment, blood samples were taken from peripheral vein to measure oxygen saturation and peripheral vein and artery for BE measurements and were compared in order to assess their diagnostic value in predicting the occurrence of hemorrhagic shock.

Results: Out of 60 examined patients, 43 (71.
