Human Trophoblast Progenitor Cells Express and Release Angiogenic Factors

Trophoblast stem cells develop from polar trophoectoderm and give rise to the cells that generate the placenta. Trophoblast cells are responsible for the uterinal invasion and vascular remodeling during the implantation of the embryo. However this knowledge is not yet to be confirmed for trophoblast progenitor cells (TPCs). In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that human TPCs (hTPCs) express ...

Risk Factors of Human Brucellosis in the Northeast of Iran

Introduction: Brucellosis is a major health problem in northeast of Iran. There is not much data on the association of nutrition and lifestyle factors with the risk of brucellosis in this area. We conducted the present study to determine the risk factors of brucellosis in Khorasan-e Razavi Province, northeastern Iran. Methods: we conducted a case-control study from July 2015...

Aviation Human Factors Division

We describe three applications of an attention-situation awareness model to predicting pilot performance in high fidelity flight simulations. The model incorporates the SEEV model of selective attention, in which eye movements are driven by salience, expectancy and value, and are inhibited by the effort required to move the eyes over longer distance and of concurrent tasks. In application 1, we...

Human factors in accidents.

At first sight, an article on human error based largely on military aviation accidents may appear to be inappropriate material for this journal, particularly when it is written by one whose total knowledge of anaesthesia has been confined to two sessions in a dentist’s chair; but a moment’s reflection may show that errors in the air and errors in the operating theatre have much in common. Thus ...
