Introduction: In infectious diseases, there are essential indices used to describe the disease state. In this study, we estimated the basic reproduction number, R0, peak level, doubling time, and daily growth rate of COVID-19.
Methods: This ecological study was conducted in 5 provinces of Iran.
Background: This study aims to investigate the relationship between sleep disorders and oral health outcomes among a representative sample of the United States population.
Methods: The study sample comprised 6,161 participants who participated in the NHANES 2017-2018, representing a population of 255,939,599. Oral health outcomes were assessed using the Oral Health Questionnaire (OHQ), covering dental pain, periodontal disease, bone loss, emotional perceptions of oral health, and impact on daily life.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the extra risk of second primary cancer among breast cancer patients.
Methods And Materials: This is a systematic review. A comprehensive search of literature was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, and Scopus.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of GKN1 and GKN2 genes as probable biomarkers for gastric cancer.
Background: Gastric cancer is a multifactorial process characterized by the uncontrolled growth and dissemination of abnormal cells. Survival rates of gastric cancer tend to be poor, a plausible explanation is a combination of a late-stage diagnosis and limited access to treatment.
Background: Cancer is the second most common cause of morbidity and mortality in children. This study aimed to epidemiologically and demographically assess common cancers in children in Iran.
Materials And Methods: This cohort study was conducted on children registered in Mahak Hospital and Rehabilitation Complex (which is a non-governmental organizations (NGO)-related hospital for only malignant diseases).
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the genetic translocation t(9;22) (q34;q11.2) encoding for the BCR-ABL fusion oncogene. Growing body of evidence suggests that epigenetic abnormalities are involved in tyrosine kinase resistance in CML, leading to leukemic clone escape and disease propagation.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review was performed based on the MOOSE guideline for review of observational studies. We searched five online databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and Scopus) from their conception to June 2014.
Objective: Traffic crashes are multifactorial events caused by human factors, technical issues, and environmental conditions. The present study aimed to determine the role of human factors in traffic crashes in Iran using the proportional odds regression model.
Methods: The database of all traffic crashes in Iran in 2010 (n = 592, 168) registered through the "COM.
One of the most common health problems are diseases of the cardiovascular system with a great bulk of disease burden; while a considerable number of cardiac patients undergo cardiac surgery; cardiac surgical procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are nowadays among the top list of surgical procedures. More than half of a century has passed since the introduction of total cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). One of the main untoward effects of CPB is systemic inflammation; causing an "acute phase reaction" responsible for the production of other unwanted postoperative complications.
