Naso-pharyngeal discharge: The first symptom of COVID-19 infection: Report two cases from Iran.

Naso-pharyngeal discharge as the first symptom of COVID-19 infection is presented in two cases. Actually, based on the presented cases here we concluded that the early clinical symptoms of COVID-19 may be mimicked the common cold features.

Roles of E6 and E7 Human Papillomavirus Proteins in Molecular Pathogenesis of Cervical Cancer.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) cancers are expected to be major global health concerns in the upcoming decades. The growth of HPV-positive cancer cells depends on the consistent expression of oncoprotein which has been poorly taken into account in the cellular communication. Among them, E6/E7 oncoproteins are attractive therapeutic targets as their inhibition rapidly leads to the onset of aging in HPV-positive cancer cells.

Molecular mechanisms, prevalence, and molecular methods for familial combined hyperlipidemia disease: A review.

Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is the most common genetic dyslipidemia disorder which is accompanied by increasing of triglyceride and cholesterol. This disorder is a complex genetic disease although it also has monogenic forms. The familial form has several criteria for diagnosis that can be distinguished of nonfamilial position.
