Estimation of Reshaped Profile of Berm Breakwaters Using Experimental Data

A reshaping berm breakwater is a type of rubble mound breakwater in which, its seaward slope is allowed to reshape under wave attacks. There are some key parameters in the reshaped seaward profiles, which can schematize the reshaped profile of a berm breakwater. A total of 412 test results was used directly to cover the impact of sea state conditions and structural parameters on these reshaping...

The Splenectomy Effects on Lipid Profile and Glucose Metabolism in the Major Thalassemia Patients

Background: Splenectomy is a common treatment for beta thalassemia. It not only eliminates many complications by reducing the need for blood transfusion, but also causes new complications that threaten the patientschr('39') health. The aim of this study was to determine if splenectomy could alter the lipid profile and glucose metabolism in beta thalassemia major patients. Methods: In this case-...

Regulation of Bone Metabolism

Bone is formed through the processes of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In endochondral ossification primary mesenchymal cells differentiate to chondrocytes and then are progressively substituted by bone, while in intramembranous ossification mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate directly into osteoblasts to form bone. The steps of osteogenic proliferation, differentiation,...

Lipoprotein metabolism in experimental nephrosis.

In experimental nephrosis, a decrease in plasma albumin resulting from proteinuria causes a decreased in the plasma oncotic pressure. The existence of an osmoreceptor, which responds to the low oncotic pressure and produces a factor(s) that signals the liver to increase the secretion of plasma proteins, is postulated. The hyperlipidemia characteristic of the nephrotic syndrome results primarily...
