Objective measurement of chronic pain by a complex concentration test

37 Patients report that the more intense chronic pain is, the more it lowers concentration. Using different approaches, various studies revealed deficits in general cognitive functioning caused by chronic pain. Impairments were found e.g. in working memory capacity, attention and concentration (Crombez, Eccleston, Baeyens, & Eelen, 1996, 1997; Dick, Eccleston, & Crombez, 2002; Dick & Rashiq, 20...

Paper Accuracy Evaluation on Area Measurement using Pseudorandom Pixel Placement for Low Resolution Images

Conventional imaging systems have the pixels that are arranged in the regular lattice positions, or lattice pixel placement (LPP). LPP is employed in most imaging systems for its advantages on pixel read-out and image reconstruction ways, however, in LPP, the clarity on image representation depends on the direction of the object in the image, or the directional dependency exists. In this paper,...

Improved accuracy of lactose tolerance test in children, using expired H2 measurement.

Expired hydrogen and blood glucose were measured during an oral lactose tolerance test in 163 children aged between 9 months and 14 years. Lactose malabsorption, defined as an abnormal increase in expired H2 during a lactose tolerance test, was found in 54 children. Of these, 30 were found to be lactose intolerant as the increased expired H2 was accompanied by clinical symptoms. The other 109 c...

Concentration Measurement of 12 Elements in Five Herbal Plants Using Neutron Activation Analysis Approach

Introduction: Nowadays, many people use medicinal plants to manage diseases; therefore, detailed knowledge of the type and level of elements present in these plants is of prominent importance.The present study aimed to determine the weight fraction of 12 elements in the five most common medicinal plants in Iran. The names of these plants are caraway (Carum carvi), savo...
