Haplotype diversity of 17 Y-STR in the Iranian population.

The current study aimed to evaluate Y chromosome haplotypes obtained from 1353 unrelated Iranian males using the AmpFlSTRTM YfilerTM kit; 1353 out of the 1353 identified haplotypes were unique. The haplotype diversity (HD) and discriminating capacity (DC) values were 1.00000 and 0.

Bone marrow CD34 positive cells may be suitable for collection after death.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) which are characterized with CD34+ phenotype, have a pivotal role in blood cell regeneration. They are located in lowest hypoxic areas in the bone marrow niches. This microenvironment protects them from DNA damage and excessive proliferation, whereas the oxygenated area driving cells out of quiescent state into proliferation.

Development, validation, and pilot implementation of the minimum datasheet for a domestic violence registry system: The case of a developing country.

Background: Domestic violence (DV) is a universal issue and an important public health priority. Establishing a DV Registry System (DVRS) can help to systematically integrate data from several sources and provide valid and reliable information on the scope and severity of harms. The main objective of this study was to develop, validate, and pilot-test a minimum datasheet for a DVRS to register DV victims in medical facilities.

A Qualitative Study on the Establishment of an Interpersonal Violence Registry System in Iran.

Establishment of an interpersonal-violence registry system (IPVRS) is a promising initiative to tackle violence. This qualitative study aimed to fill the gap in knowledge regarding the feasibility of establishing the IPVRS in the East-Azerbaijan province of Iran. This qualitative study using content analysis was conducted to explore the importance, challenges, and facilitating factors of establishing the IPVRS from the viewpoints of stakeholders.

Road safety data collection systems in Iran: A comparison based on relevant organizations.

Purpose: Various organizations and institutions are involved in road traffic injury (RTI) and crash registration such as police, forensic medicine organization, hospitals and emergency medical services. But there is a substantial uncertainty in interpreting the data, duplicated data collection and missing data in relation to RTI in most systems. This study aims to identify data sources for RTI surveillance in Iran and to explore traffic safety data source domains, data elements and detailed information by each data source.

Analysis of Provincial Mortalities Among Bus/Minibus Users Over Twelve Years, East Azerbaijan, Iran.

The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiological features of bus/minibus users' road traffic injury mortalities during 2006-2017, in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran. All 245 bus/minibus users' mortalities, registered in the forensic medicine database, were analyzed by STATA 13 statistical software package. The majority of victims (mean age: 41.

Epidemiology of Traffic Fatalities among Motorcycle Users in East Azerbaijan, Iran.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine some epidemiological aspects of motorcycle user traffic fatalities including the crash mechanisms and injury patterns in East Azerbaijan, Iran (2006-2016).

Methods: A total of 1840 motorcycle user mortal cases registered in East Azerbaijan forensic medicine database, in Iran, were analyzed over the time period between March 2006 and March 2016. The distribution and associations of both victim- and crash-related variables such as crash mechanism, types of involved vehicles, types of injuries, and demographic characteristics were investigated.

Epidemiology of Road Traffic Injury Fatalities among Car Users; A Study Based on Forensic Medicine Data in East Azerbaijan of Iran.

Objective: To study the epidemiology of car user road traffic fatalities (CURTFs) during eight years, in East Azerbaijan, Iran.

Methods: A total of 3051 CURTFs registered in East Azerbaijan forensic medicine organization database, Iran, during 2006-2014, were analyzed using Stata 13 statistical software package. Descriptive statistics (<0.

A decade of road traffic fatalities among the elderly in north-West Iran.

Background: Iran has a uniquely catastrophic status for road traffic injury incidence and fatality. The elderly account for a substantial number of the hospitalizations and fatalities due to traffic injuries. The aim of this study was to investigate the crash mechanisms and medical outcomes of traffic fatalities among the elderly in East Azerbaijan province of Iran during the period 2006-2016.

Traumatic lower extremity and lumbosacral peripheral nerve injuries in adults: Electrodiagnostic studies and patients symptoms.

Background: Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) are relatively common pathologies in clinical practice. PNIs are rare in the lower extremity but have worse prognosis than those in the upper extremity. Electrodiagnostic studies could help better understanding PNIs.

Exploring possible causes of fatal burns in 2007 using Haddon's Matrix: a qualitative study.

Background: Burns are a major factor in injury mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the possible causes of fatal burns using Haddon's Matrix.

Methods: This is a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach.

Congenital anomalies and termination of pregnancy in Iran.

The aim of this study was to document some epidemiological features of termination of pregnancy for birth defects in Iran. We studied 603 pregnant women who were diagnosed/recommended for the termination of pregnancy as having a fetus with some types of birth defect(s). Most women (87.

Effect of apolipoprotein E genotypes on incidence and development of coronary stenosis in Iranian patients with coronary artery disease.

Background: Apolipoprotein (apo) E polymorphism plays a significant role in the development of coronary disease, but their involvement in coronary artery stenosis (CAS) is controversial. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of this polymorphism on atherosclerosis, and severity and extent of CAS in unrelated Iranian population.

Methods: DNA was isolated from 390 study participants and APOE genotypes were determined utilizing the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism.
