Evaluation of surface electromyography of selected neck muscles during the whiplash mechanism in aware and unaware conditions due to safe punching in kickboxing.

Background: Kickboxing is considered as a combat sport in progress, in which injuries are frequent and significant, and close injury monitoring is highly recommended. Sports injuries to the head and neck are estimated to cause 70% deaths and 20% permanent disabilities although they are much less common than those to the limbs. Whiplash mechanism involves the rapid extension (opening) and flexion (bending) of neck.

Antibacterial effect of carbon nanotube containing chemical compounds on drug-resistant isolates of .

Background And Objectives: is recognized as an important pathogen responsible for serious infections causing episodes of hospital infection. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently emerged as superior materials against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, a new chemical compound was designed in order to combat infections.

The Construction of Carbon Nanotubes Containing an Anti-Bacterial Chemical Component and its Effect on MDR and XDR Isolates of .

Background: is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes severe acute and chronic nosocomial infections, especially in immunocompromised burn patients. and can lead to severe mortality and morbidity. The emergence of antibiotic resistant infections has created significant challenges in treating these patients.

Novel Mutations in Sandhoff Disease: A Molecular Analysis among Iranian Cohort of Infantile Patients.

Background: Sandhoff disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by β-hexosaminidase deficiency and accumulation of GM2 ganglioside resulting in progressive motor neuron manifestations and death from respiratory failure and infections in infantiles. Pathogenic mutations in HEXB gene were observed which leads to enzyme activity reduction and interruption of normal metabolic cycle of GM2 ganglioside in sandhoff patients.

Methods: Six infantile index patients with typical biochemical and clinical picture of the disease were studied at the molecular level.

Iranian human genome project: Overview of a research process among Iranian ethnicities.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) refers to the international scientific research program, formally begun in October 1990 and completed in 2003, mainly designated to discover all the human genes, analyzing the structure of human DNA and determining the location of all human genes and also making them accessible for further biological and medical investigations. With the appropriate rationale approach, a similar study has been held in Iran. The study of human genome among Iranian ethnicities (IHGP) has been attempted formally in 2000 through a detailed and fully programmed research among all the major ethnic groups by more than 1,900 samples from all over Iran based on the main demographical and anthropological findings and formally known criteria considered for the international HGP.
