COVID-19 is spreading all over Iran, and Kerman is one of the most affected cities. We conducted this study to predict COVID-19-related deaths, hospitalization, and infected cases under different scenarios (scenarios A, B, and C) by 31 December 2021 in Kerman. We also aimed to assess the impact of new COVID-19 variants and vaccination on the total number of COVID-19 cases, deaths, and hospitalizations (scenarios D, E, and F) using the modified susceptible-exposed-infected-removed (SEIR) model.

- Researchers explored new miRNA biomarkers for five subtypes of breast cancer (BC) using a systems biology approach.
- They identified specific miRNAs associated with each BC subtype, such as 26b-5p and 124-3p, while noting their potential roles in cancer development remain to be clarified.
- The study suggests that target genes for these miRNAs could be important therapeutic targets for treating different BC subtypes and warrants further investigation.
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer and the main cause of cancer deaths among females around the world. For early diagnosis of BC, there would be an immediate and essential requirement to search for sensitive biomarkers.
Methods: To identify candidate miRNA biomarkers for BC, we performed a general systematic review regarding the published miRNA profiling researches comparing miRNA expression level between BC and normal tissues.
Background: Smoking is the most common and cheapest addictive substance and has physical, psychological, and social side effects. Personality traits and low self-control have been identified as key factors for substance and tobacco abuse. This study examined the relationship between personality traits and self-control, and symptoms of nicotine dependence in male prisoners.
