Stent-and-glue sutureless vascular anastomosis
Vascular anastomosis is commonly done by hand-sewn methods which not only are slow in pace, but also need experiences in surgeons` hands. As the old techniques are replaced by the new ones all the time, it is sensed that a new sutureless approach should be welcomed in the field of vascular anastomosis. Although lots of efforts have been done, such previous recommended techniques are associated with adverse consequences and here is where the need for new methods is still sensed. In this manuscript,... [...]

Association of vitamin D levels and receptor gene polymorphisms with medullary thyroid cancer
Background: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. Accounting for approximately 1-2% of all cancers. Thyroid cancers have been divided into four main types: papillary, follicular, medullary and anaplastic. The active form of vitamin D (1,25-(OH) 2-vitamin D3) by binding to its receptor, using genomic and nongenomic mechanisms inhibits the proliferative effect of TSH on thyroid cells. Therefore, vitamin D may have a role in regulating of thyroid gland cell proliferation. Many studies... [...]
