BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective study was to verify whether magnetostimulation with weak variable magnetic fields with low value of induction could enhance the effects of pharmacological therapy in drug-resistant depression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients, 26 women and 4 men, with drug-resistant depression were enrolled in the study. The subjects from Group No. I (14 patients) w...

OBJECTIVE To compare the psychometric properties of the Calgary Depression Rating Scale (CDRS) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) for severity assessment of depression in acute schizophrenia. METHOD During clinical routine treatment, we investigated 119 inpatients with acute schizophrenia, using the CDRS, the HDRS, and a global 4-point Depression Severity Scale (DEP-SEV). We comp...

Although antidepressant trials typically use weekly ratings to examine changes in symptoms over six to 12 weeks, antidepressant treatments may improve symptoms more quickly. Thus, rating scales must be adapted to capture changes over shorter intervals. We examined the use of the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) to evaluate more rapid changes. Data were examined from 58 patients w...

In the Republic of Tatarstan, due to favorable soil-climatic and market conditions, spring wheat production is developed, but grain yields are limited by a number unfavorable factors, one which spread fungal diseases. At same time, pressure pathogenic fungi makes it possible carry out fruitful breeding work in Tatarstan on resistance diseases, main activity Kazan Research Center RAS. The purpos...

For centuries, polemic over Ibnu Taimiyyah (661-728H) has generated cross-generational tension among supporters and opponents. Those believed Ibn to be ma'shum,surpassed Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, unilaterally ordained him as khatim al-mujtahidin. A claim which ignores Sunnis scholars’ epistemic criticism across the school of thought generations, including a critical assessment internal Hanbali its...

In the first of these, Barakat and Redzic [this issue, pp. 3–14] highlight how basic science research into the underlying mechanisms of cerebral ischemia may lead to novel therapies for this potentially fatal condition. Cardiac arrest and strokes can lead to ischemia in the brain, either focal (limited to a small region of the brain) or global (widespread and covering large parts of the brain)....

mihan is a new bread wheat cultivar originated from the cross between iranian cultivar barakat with the chinese cultivar 90-zhong 87 at karaj research station in 1995-96 cropping season. the f1 plants were grown at karaj in 1996-97 cropping season, furthermore f2-f6 populations and regional preliminary yield nursery were evaluated at ardebil agricultural research station during 1997-2003 croppi...

Target decomposition methods from polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) data provides target scattering information. In this regard, several conventional model-based use power components to analyze SAR data. However, the typical hierarchical process enumerate uses various branching conditions, leading limitations. These techniques assume ad hoc models within a radar resolution cell. Th...

3.1 ImPACTS OF RISING AqUAFEED COSTS AND PRICE VOLATILITy ON THE HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITy OF FISH In most major aquafeed-based intensive aquaculture production systems there is a high reliance on nutritionally balanced complete aquafeeds. In situations where on-farm feeds are made, farmers attempt to produce a balanced feed using vitamin and mineral premixes. In all regions of the world, the inc...
