Clinical Outcome of Invasive Pituitary Prolactinomas Treated with Cabergoline
...Show More Authors

Background: Treatment of invasive prolactinoma, which has several characteristics including invasive growth into cavernous sinuses and formation of giant adenomas compressing adjacent neural structures, resulting in neurological dysfunction, has been very challenging. There are relatively few reports available describing long-term treatment outcome.

Aims of the study: In this study we evaluate the results of cabergoline administration as initial treatment during 4 years follow up period.

Methods: We prospectively categorized 36 patients into four groups according to the results of 3 months of cabergoline treatment: group 1, tumor volume reduction (TVR) ˃25% with normalized serum prolactin (NP) (n = 24); group 2, TVR˃25% without NP (n = 4); group 3, TVR ˂25% with NP (n = 5); and group 4, TVR ˂25% without NP (n = 3).

Results: During follow-up, 22 patients (91.7%) in group 1 achieved TVR˃50% with NP. Three patients (75%) in group 2 achieved TVR˃50% with NP after treatment for 8 months. In group 3, four patients (80.0%) continued medication because of improvement of symptoms and achieved additional TVR(18.8–46.4%). Surgery was performed on five patients (one in group 2, one in group 3, and three in group 4), and complete resection was achieved in four (80.0%). Overall, 25 (69.4%) of the 36 patients treated with cabergoline had complete response and 6 (16.7%) had partial response but did not require surgery. Thus, the overall response rate was 86%,with only five patients (14%) requiring surgical debulking. NP was not achieved by surgery alone in all cases, even after total resection of tumor.

Conclusion: Patients who achieve TVR˃25%with NP with 3 months of cabergoline administration had a high possibility of showing good long term response (TVR˃50% with NP) to cabergoline. A higher dose of dopamine agonist (DA)  should be considered for patients who achieve TVR˃25% without NP.

NEW SEVEN-PARAMETER MITTAG-LEFFLER FUNCTION WITH CERTAIN ANALYTIC PROPERTIES
...Show More Authors

In this paper, a new seven-parameter Mittag-Leffler function of a single com-plex variable is proposed as a generalization of the standard Mittag-Leffler function, certain generalizations of Mittag-Leffler function, hypergeometric function and confluent hypergeometric function. Certain essential analytic properties are mainly discussed, such as radius of convergence, order, type, differentiation, Mellin-Barnes integral representation and Euler transform in the complex plane. Its relation to Fox-Wright function and H-function is also developed.

A Review on Expansive Soils Stabilized with Different Pozzolanic Materials
...Show More Authors

Soils that cause effective damages to engineer structures (such as pavement and foundation) are called problematic or difficult soils (include collapsible soil, expansive soil, etc.). These damages occur due to poor or unfavorited engineering properties, such as low shear strength, high compressibility, high volume changes, etc. In the case of expansive soil, the problem of the shrink-swell phenomenon, when the soil reacts with water, is more pronounced. To overcome such problems, soils can be treated or stabilized with many stabilization ways (mechanical, chemical, etc.). Such ways can amend the unfavorited soil properties. In this review, the pozzolanic materials have been selected to be presented and discussed as chem

A proposal method for selecting smoothing parameter with missing values
...Show More Authors

In this paper we proposed a new method for selecting a smoothing parameter in kernel estimator to estimate a nonparametric regression function in the presence of missing values. The proposed method is based on work on the golden ratio and Surah AL-E-Imran in the Qur'an. Simulation experiments were conducted to study a small sample behavior. The results proved the superiority the proposed on the competition method for selecting smoothing parameter.

Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate calcium, potassium, albumin, protein, creatinine, urea, uric acid levels, and the level of total sialic acid in the sera of patients with chronic renal failure who had been infected with Hepatitis C virus and in the sera of patients with chronic renal failure, and compare them with healthy volunteers. A total of 90 subjects with age 25-55 years, were divided into three groups. G1 represents 30 patients with chronic renal failure who had treated by dialysis and infected with chronic Hepatitis C virus (positive group). G2 represents 30 patients with chronic failure who had been treated by dialysis (negative group), while G3 represents 30 healthy volunteers (control group). The results showed
