The role of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the immune response makes it an attractive candidate gene for associations with disease resistance and susceptibility. This study describes genetic variability in the BoLA-DRB3 in Iranian buffaloes. Heminested PCR-RFLP method was used to identify the frequency of BoLA-DRB3 alleles. The BoLA-DRB3 locus is highly polymorphic in the study herd (12 alleles). Almost 63.50% of the alleles were accounted for by four alleles (BoLA-DRB3.2 ∗48, ∗20, ∗21, and obe) in Iranian buffalo. The DRB3.2 ∗48 allele frequency (24.20%) was higher than the others. The frequencies of the DRB3.2 ∗20 and DRB3.2 ∗21 are 14.52 and 14.00, respectively, and obe and gbb have a new pattern. Significant distinctions have been found between Iranian buffalo and other cattle breed studied. In the Iranian buffaloes studied alleles associated with resistance to various diseases are found.

Complicated iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome induced by topical clobetasol propionate in a child with psoriasis: a case report and review of the literature.
J Med Case Rep
December 2024
School of Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.
Background: Long-term use of oral or parenteral corticosteroids is the most common cause of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome. Still, iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome occurs rarely following the administration of topical corticosteroids.
Case Presentation: This case study discusses the misuse of a high-potency corticosteroid cream by an Iranian 5-year-old male with plaque-form psoriasis, resulting in Cushingoid symptoms including moon face, buffalo hump, red striae, and weight gain.

We used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with an untargeted metabolomics approach to look at the metabolite profiles of traditional Iranian yogurts made from cow, goat, buffalo, and sheep milk. Results showed that different animal milks significantly influenced physicochemical properties and fatty acid (FA) composition, resulting in diverse metabolites. Over 80 % of all the fatty acids in the yogurt samples were saturated.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the increasing importance of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in addressing global obesity, emphasizing the need for rigorous academic and fellowship training for surgeons.
- A Modified Delphi method involving 89 surgeons from 42 countries was used to establish expert consensus on the necessary criteria for surgeons to obtain privileges for performing MBS, reaching agreement on 29 out of 30 statements.
- Key consensus points include the requirement for surgeons to hold a general surgery degree, complete a dedicated fellowship, and adhere to defined learning curves for various MBS procedures, alongside maintaining patient data and collaborating in a multidisciplinary team.
Extended dosing (12 cycles) vs conventional dosing (6 cycles) of adjuvant temozolomide in adults with newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas: a randomized, single-blind, two-arm, parallel-group controlled trial.

Purpose: Maximum safe surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiation and temozolomide chemotherapy is the current standard of care in the management of newly diagnosed high grade glioma. However, there are controversies about the optimal number of adjuvant temozolomide cycles. This study aimed to compare the survival benefits of 12 cycles against 6 cycles of adjuvant temozolomide adults with newly diagnosed high grade gliomas.
