De novo aneurysms in long-term follow-up computed tomographic angiography of patients with clipped intracranial aneurysms.

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate de novo aneurysm formation in the long-term follow-up of patients with clipped aneurysms.

Methods: Of 459 patients who underwent clipping of ruptured cerebral aneurysms at our institution between 1997 and 2008, 119 patients were available in good condition and agreed to undergo 64-detector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography. In addition, eight patients underwent CT angiography for new subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Methodological Aspects of Cognitive Rehabilitation with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

A variety of nervous system components such as medulla, pons, midbrain, cerebellum, basal ganglia, parietal, frontal and occipital lobes have role in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) processes. The eye movement is done simultaneously for attracting client's attention to an external stimulus while concentrating on a certain internal subject. Eye movement guided by therapist is the most common attention stimulus.

Comparative assessment of neuro-cognitive impairments among patients with brain tumor and healthy adults.

Aim: Most brain tumor patients encounter cognitive impairments. Coping with such challenges is intolerable for them.

Objective: This study tries to determine the diagnostic role of cognitive tests, CPT, Stroop and TOL, in assessing neuro-cognitive impairments among patients with brain tumor and healthy participants.

Gastro-esophageal reflux symptoms and body mass index: no relation among the Iranian population.

An association between obesity and symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been frequently reported in western societies. A recent study indicated a consistent association between abdominal diameter and reflux-type symptoms in the white population, but no consistent association in the black population or Asians. It is unclear whether an association persists after adjusting for known risk factors of GERD among Asian populations.

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome: a significant association in an Iranian population.

Background: Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome are common diseases, which may be related.

Aim: To assess the association between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome in a country with high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori.

Methods: This study was designed as cross-sectional and population-based in Tehran province, Iran.
