Designing Alternative Housing in an Old Context: Zargandeparsh, Tehran

Today, poor performance in old residential contexts in terms of memorable visual elements reduce the residents’ sense of belonging. The study used a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. To meet the needs of residents, a questionnaire was distributed among twenty-five experts. Data analysis was performed using fuzzy logic to calculate the weight of each criterion of hierarchical fuzzy (FAHP). According to the findings, the largest weight belonged to social interaction (0.288), physical (0.205) and dependence (0.179). The results showed that social interaction is imperative in increasing the residents’ sense of attachment.© 2016. The Authors. Published for AMER ABRA by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK.

Lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy in endometrial cancer — a feasibility study using cervical injection of radiotracer and blue dye

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection using preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and intra-operative gamma probe/blue dye for endometrial cancer patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty four consecutive patients with endometrial cancer were recruited. All patients underwent lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy using combined intracervical radiotracer and blue dye injections. Pelvic lymph node dissection was performed for all patients. Para-aortic lymphadenectomy was done in high risk patients. All SLNs were examined by frozen section and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) permanent sections. RESULTS: Pre-operative lymphoscintigraphy showed at least one SLN in 21/24 patients. Intra-operatively, at least one SLN could be harvested by gamma probe and/or blue dye methods. A total of 95 SLNs were detected. Four SLNs were detected only by blue dye, 42 only by radiotracer, and 49 were hot/blue. Median number of SLN per patient was 3. Three patients had positive pelvic lymph nodes. All of them had positive SLN (no false negative case). Frozen section could identify SLN involvement in two of three patients with positive pathology. CONCLUSION: Lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy is feasible and accurate in endometrial cancer patients using combined radiotracer and blue dye methods. Frozen section accuracy was lower and underscores the importance of expert pathologists for SLN mapping technique.

Leiomyosarcoma with Unusual Macroscopic Features: A Case Report

Uterine sarcoma is a rare tumor of mesodermal origin, accounting for 2-6% of uterine malignancies. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) has been reported in only 1% of all uterine malignancies and is regarded as the most common primary uterine sarcoma. Herein, we present a case of LMS with unusual macroscopic features. The patient was a 61-year-old woman with LMS, which consisted of a large cystic mass (88×136 mm), containing six liters of brownish fluid on the right side of the pelvis and abdomen. The fundus of the uterus was ruptured by the solid part of the tumor. For treatment, total hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy and the optimal resection of tumoral parts were carried out. Overall, the distinctive biological behavior and poor overall survival of uterine sarcoma challenge the post-operative management of this tumor. According to the one-year follow-up, the patient was disease-free. Unfortunately, no further information is at hand beyond this period

Hydroxonium creatininium bis­(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl­ato-κ3 O 2,N,O 6)nickel­ate(II) trihydrate

The title compound, (C4H8N3O)(H3O)[Ni(C7H3NO4)2]·3H2O, exhibits isotypism with its CoII analogue. All intramolecular distances and angles are similar for the two structures. This applies also for the intermolecular forces, consisting of O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions [with centroid–centroid distances of 3.428 (2) and 3.579 (2) Å], that lead to a cohesion of the structure

Prognostic Value of KI6 Biomarker in Predict Short Time Prognosis of Low Grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia in HPV Negative and Positive Patients

Screening of cervical cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in developing countries. Despite being preventable, but we have still some problems with the screening of this cancer. Recently, many studies have been done on immunohistochemistry to improve screening of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) as a precancerous lesion. But, the majority of the studies are based on cytological samples. The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation KI-67 biomarker and HPV infection in predict short time prognosis in CIN as an alternative or auxiliary method to the current screening method in a different geographic population. This descriptive cohort prospective study included 40 patients with a diagnosis of CIN based on cervical punch biopsy samples after colposcopy examination. They were referred to the department of gynecology and oncology of an academic hospital, Mashhad University of   2016 to 2017. All samples were investigated for HR- HPV DNA with Cobas test and immunostaining for KI-67 biomarker. Finally, after one year follows up, the prognosis for all patients was evaluated. Data were analyzed by SPSS software program version 23.0 and Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher's exact test. P<0.05 was considered significant. Significant difference was found between HR-HPV positive and negative tests in KI-67 expression (P<0.001), but no significant difference was observed in reactivity level (P=0.5), also no significant difference was found in KI-67 expression in the metaplastic and non-metaplastic epithelium (P=0.88). KI-67 biomarker is recommended as complementary screening tests not alternative for differentiating in high risks patients with CIN1. The patients with low KI-67 / HR-HPV positive test could be offered for a less aggressive follow-up protocol

Developing an efficient deep neural network for automatic detection of COVID-19 using chest X-ray images

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) could be described as the greatest human challenge of the 21st century. The development and transmission of the disease have increased mortality in all countries. Therefore, a rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 is necessary to treat and control the disease. In this paper, a new method for the automatic identification of pneumonia (including COVID-19) is presented using a proposed deep neural network. In the proposed method, the chest X-ray images are used to separate 2–4 classes in 7 different and functional scenarios according to healthy, viral, bacterial, and COVID-19 classes. In the proposed architecture, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are used together with a fusion of the deep transfer learning and LSTM networks, without involving feature extraction/selection for classification of pneumonia. We have achieved more than 90% accuracy for all scenarios except one and also achieved 99% accuracy for separating COVID 19 from healthy group. We also compared our deep proposed network with other deep transfer learning networks (including Inception-ResNet V2, Inception V4, VGG16 and MobileNet) that have been recently widely used in pneumonia detection studies. The results based on the proposed network were very promising in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and specificity compared to the other deep transfer learning approaches. Depending on the high performance of the proposed method, it can be used during the treatment of patients

Survival Rate of Non-Epithelial Ovarian Tumors in Iran

Background: The aim of this study was to estimate the overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS) of the non-epithelial ovarian tumors (NEOTs) of ovarian germ cell tumors (OGCT) and ovarian sex cord tumors (OSCT) in Iranian women; we also evaluated the relative prognostic factors. Method: In this retrospective study, we screened the documents of all the women diagnosed with OGCTs and OSCTs from 2012 to 2019. We further assessed the OS, RFS, and different prognostic factors. Results: A statistically significant association existed between RFS and stage of the disease at diagnosis in OSCTs group by univariate analysis and multivariate analysis (HR: 0.25 (95% CI (0.08-0.78), P=0.01) and multivariate analysis (HR: 0.27 (95% CI (0.08-0.97), P=0.04), respectively. The kaplan-meier analysis and the Log Rrank (Mantel-Cox) showed a statistically significant relationship between the stage at diagnosis and RFS in OGCT group (P=0.042). RFS was 96% for OGCT patients, and 92.7% for OSCT patients. During the follow-up, only one patient passed away in the dysgerminoma group; the OS rate was 98% for OGCT patients, and 100% for OSCT patients. Conclusion: The OS and RFS obtained in this study confirmed that the ovarian germ cell and sex cord malignancies were among the highly treatable solid tumors. Stage can be proposed as the main prognostic factor; also, larger series of studies are needed for detecting the prognostic significance of serum markers
