| genetic lineages of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in isfahan, iran. | in this study, we aimed to identify the genetic lineages of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in isfahan via the mycobacterial interspersed repetitive-unit-variable number tandem repeat typing method based on 15 loci. forty-nine m. tuberculosis isolates were collected between 2013 and 2015 from tuberculosis patients in mollahadi sabzevari tuberculosis center in isfahan. all isolates were typed by 15-locus miru-vntr typing. the highest percentage of isolates, 44.89 % (22/49), belonged to the eu ... | 2017 | 27743106 |
| spirometric reference values in a large middle eastern population. | ethnic differences in pulmonary function have been frequently reported. the purposes of this study were to derive equations for the prediction of normative spirometry values for a large population of persians in isfahan and compare them to reference values from a white euro-usa population. spirometry measurements were obtained from 4,341 randomly selected healthy nonsmoker subjects in isfahan, iran, utilising american thoracic society guidelines and a vigorous quality assurance program. measured ... | 2003 | 14516147 |
