Computer-based tools provide new insight into the key factors that cause physiological disorders of pistachio rootstocks cultured in vitro

Mitophagy: New Insight into the Cardiovascular Aging  

Physiological Evaluation of Pistachio Frost Damage Resistant Rootstocks

On 16th of March 2008, temperature decreased to -6ºC in some parts of the Kerman pistachio plantation area that was caused the heavy damage to pistachio growers. After the damage, some rootstocks were resistance to this temperature and no damage was interned to them. In the present study five rootstocks of resistant and five rootstocks of susceptible to frost damage were selected and evaluated ...

Animal models provide insight into psychosomatic factors in diabetes.

OBJECTIVE To review the literature regarding the use of animal models in research addressing psychosomatic aspects of diabetes. METHOD We examine the key findings in animal model vs. human research in the area of stress and diabetes. Previous research has suggested that stress is a potential contributor to chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes. Stress affects metabolic activity via the stimulatio...

Electromyograms as Physiological Inputs that Provide Efficient Computer Cursor Control

This paper presents a new algorithm to translate electromyogram (EMG) signals, produced during facial muscle contractions, into computer cursor actions. These cursor actions are: left, right, up, down and left-click. The translation is performed in real-time and the classification of the EMG signals is based on features derived from the spectral analysis of the electromyograms. We have sought t...

New Insight into the Relation between Adiponectin and Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases. Insulin resistance is defined as a state that needs more insulin to get the biological effects achieved by a lower amount of insulin in the normal state. Several molecules which are secreted through adipocytes have been involved in insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin as a 244 amino acid protein is exclusively expressed...
