Correlation of IDH1 gene expression error in breast tumor biopsy in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma.

One of the most important cancers in terms of worldwide prevalence is breast tumors, which have been less investigated in correlation with the enzyme Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene. The aim of this study was that expression of this gene could have significant effects on the progression of metastasis and invasive disease in breast cancer patients. We used the molecular method of RT-PCR with SYBR-Green to analyze breast tumor tissue from patients with metastasis and non-metastasis, the latter confirmed by the pathology department of Shohada-e Tajrish Hospital (serving as a control group).

A 16-year Remained UroLume Stent without any Complication; a Case Report.

Lumen diameter reduction which is called urethral stricture has several causative agents including iatrogenic, inflammatory, traumatic, and idiopathic factors. The main treatment options are transurethral or open surgical interventions.The UroLume which was introduced around 33 years ago is an intraurethral stent and as a temporary treatment approach has a maximum 9-month durability, but here we present the first ever reported forgotten 16-year remained UroLume without any complication.

The evaluation of a composed program of continuing medical education for general practitioners.

Introduction: The execution of composed educational programs for general practitioners is one of the most common methods of continuing medical education. This research project aims to evaluate one of these programs.

Methods: For this purpose, a pre- and post-test design was developed.
