Article Synopsis
- - Background: There is insufficient knowledge on how the timing of exercise interventions after a stroke impacts their effectiveness, which creates challenges for clinicians in guiding patient recovery.
- - Methods: A systematic review of 148 studies was conducted to analyze the relationship between the timing of exercise post-stroke (≤3 months vs. >3 months) and various outcomes like walking distance, walking speed, cardiorespiratory fitness, and balance scores.
- - Results: Starting exercise training within 3 months after a stroke showed significantly greater improvements in mobility metrics, especially in the 6-minute walk distance and walking speeds, compared to those who started later; however, there was no notable impact on cardiorespiratory fitness.
Background: Large artery disease (LAD) is a common cause of stroke, but a little is known regarding its role in Iranian stroke patients. The current study investigates the prevalence and risk factors for cervicocephalic arterial stenosis in the patients with ischemic stroke using digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study performed in hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences from March 2011 to March 2013.
Study Design: This was a retrospective study comparing dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) perfusion with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in determining the vascularity of spinal tumors.
Objective: To report on the efficacy of DCE-MR perfusion as a potential noninvasive surrogate for measuring vascularity and thus determine the need for preoperative embolization.
Summary Of Background Data: Although primary spinal tumors are rare, spine metastases are relatively common and symptomatic in approximately 14% of patients.
Background: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by weakness and fatigability of skeletal muscles. The aim of this study was to determine if pathological characteristics in non-thymomatous patients of MG would correlate with prognosis in a three year follow up.
Methods: Patients who had had their thymectomy at least three years prior to the study were selected from three hospitals and were followed for 3 years.
Introduction: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute, acquired, monophasic peripheral neuropathy which has become the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis. This is an epidemiological report on the seasonal and monthly distribution of GBS and certain patient characteristics in Shiraz, Iran.
Methods: We extracted data from Namazi hospital records retrospectively in a 10 year period (January 2000 to December 2009), the largest tertiary referral center in the south of Iran.
Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide health problem. Type II diabetes mellitus is now a major cause of end stage renal disease. The effect of diabetes mellitus through the dysregulation of the innate immunity results in increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha.

Data regarding the socioeconomic status in Iranian kidney transplant (KT) recipients is lacking. In this cross sectional descriptive study we evaluated the socio-economic status of 100 KT recipients in Shiraz organ transplantation center. In a cross-sectional design, we randomly selected and interviewed 100 RT recipients (50 males and 50 females).
