The emerging role of LncRNA AWPPH in multiple cancers: a review study.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed RNA molecules longer than 200 nucleotides in length that have no protein-coding potential. They are able to react with DNA, RNA, and protein. Hence they involve in regulating gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational levels.

Norwegian Scabies in a 70-Year-Old Renal Transplant Recipient: A Case Report.

Crusted scabies (CS) is an extremely contagious variant of classical scabies with substantial morbidity and mortality. It is the most prevalent in immunocompromised patients, those with some underlying diseases, and individuals with physical and mental disabilities. Herein, we report a 70-year-old woman who presented with generalized erythema with itchy hyperkeratotic plaques and crusted lesions on her face, hands, between fingers, neck, scalp, abdomen, and legs up to the knees.

GLIS2 and CCND1 expression levels in breast cancer patients.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer in women, with increasing incidence and death rates in recent years. Disruptions of different signaling pathways partially cause breast cancer. Hence, different genes through particular pathways are involved in BC tumorigenesis.

Biofilm formation, antimicrobial resistance genes, and genetic diversity of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serotype Enteritidis isolated from food and animal sources in Iran.

Objectives: Salmonella enterica serovar Entritidis is an important pathogen in foodborne diseases and causes gastroenteritis. Several studies have investigated the genetic diversity of the strains of this bacterium. However, our knowledge of the discriminatory power of the molecular methods is limited.

Identification of Potential Key Genes Linked to Gender Differences in Bladder Cancer Based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Database.

Background: Growing evidence strongly indicates pivotal roles of gender differences in the occurrence and survival rate of patients with bladder cancer, with a higher incidence in males and poorer prognosis in females. Nevertheless, the molecular basis underlying gender-specific differences in bladder cancer remains unknown. The current study has tried to detect key genes contributing to gender differences in bladder cancer patients.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN COLORECTAL CANCER AND INDEX OF NUTRITIONAL QUALITY (INQ); A CASE-CONTROL STUDY.

•Is the Index of Nutritional Quality (INQ) associated with colon cancer? •This study compared the INQ of various dietary components between colorectal cancer patients and healthy controls. A total of 480 participants were enrolled in the study (160 patients with colorectal cancer as a case group and 320 healthy control). The results showed that CRC is significantly associated with INQ for some micronutrients.

The prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis infection among the female population of Iran: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Trichomonas vaginalis is a protozoan parasite and probably one of the main causes of adverse birth outcomes. Still, there is a paucity of information regarding the burden of T. vaginalis infection in Iranian women.

Rapid Detection and Identification of spp. and spp. Isolated from the Ruminant Livestock of Northwest Iran Using High-Resolution Melting Analysis (HRM).

Background: The liver flukes of the species and spp. are recognised as parasites of domestic and wild herbivores. Both species of and as well as are distributed in Iran.

Sleep hygiene behaviours mediate the association between health/e-health literacy and mental wellbeing.

Background: Health literacy and e-health literacy are important factors helping people shape awareness of health behaviours in different aspects, including sleep hygiene behaviours. Good sleep hygiene behaviours promote sleep quality and are beneficial to overall mental wellbeing.

Objective: We aimed to examine if sleep hygiene behaviours may mediate the association between health literacy/e-health literacy and mental wellbeing.

The Impact of Child Dental Caries and the Associated Factors on Child and Family Quality of Life.

Introduction: Dental caries are considered as common health hazards and a serious lifelong threat to general health and quality of life. The present study aimed at identifying the impact of child dental caries and the associated factors on both child and family quality of life (QoL). .

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy outcome with taxane-based versus non-taxane protocols in gastric cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. One of the chemotherapy agents, taxanes is important in increasing patients' survival. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of taxane-based drugs versus non-taxanes in neoadjuvant chemotherapy in non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) in Iranian patients.

The effect of FTO gene rs9939609 polymorphism on the association between colorectal cancer and different types of dietary fat intake: a case-control study.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Some dietary factors such as fat intake have been identified as the risk factors for CRC. This study aimed to investigate the effect of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene rs9939609 polymorphism on the association between CRC and different types of dietary fats.

Long non coding RNAs reveal important pathways in childhood asthma: a future perspective.

Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs refers changes that occur in conjunction with, or as a result of, chronic airway inflammation. Airway remodeling the subsequent of inflammation constitutes cellular and extracellular matrix changes in the wall airways, epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition and airway smooth muscle cell proliferation. Diseases often begin in childhood and despite extensive research, causative pathogenic mechanisms still remain unclear.

Response investigation of a new polymer gel dosimeter based on ammonium salt through MRI technique.

Increasing the use of polymer gel dosimetry (PGD) in radiotherapy requires reducing its toxicity. The toxicity of the PGD components causes risks for the users as well as the environment.
