Hot flash is among the most common complaints of menopausal women, affecting their career, social activities and quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Valerian on hot flashes in menopausal women. In this double blind clinical trial, 68 menopausal women with the chief complaint of hot flash were enrolled using sampling at hand and were randomly divided into drug and pla...

In hot forming process, the workpiece undergoes plastic deformation at high temperature and the microstructure of the workpiece changes according to the plastic deformation. These changes affect the mechanical properties of workpiece. In order to optimize this process, both the plastic deformation of workpiece and its microstructural changes should be taken into consideration. Since material be...

background: the phase change materials (pcms) have the appropriate properties for controlling heat strain. one of the well-known pcms is paraffin. this study aimed to design the cooling vest from the cheap commercial paraffin compound and evaluation of its effectiveness under laboratory hot conditions. methods: the cooling vest was made of the polyester fabric and it had 17 aluminum packs. the ...

background: acute low back pain is one of the most prevalent diseases which more than 90% of the adults experience at least once during lifetime. the present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of duration of hot water bag usageon pain relief in in the patients with acute low back pain. methods: this clinical trial study was conducted on 20- to 50-year-old patients referring orthopedi...

in this study, changes in speed and turbulence intensity in the wake of a peugeot model and the drag coefficient changes with increases vehicle speed in unsteady flow measured and evaluated. the blow open circuit wind tunnel to simulate fluid flow is used. disturbances and nominal maximum speed of the device, respectively is, 30 m / s and 0.01%. has been continuously increasing speed by an inve...

a 63-year-old woman presented with a history of hyperthyroidism symptoms over two years, referred for thyroid scintigraphy. in the hospital archives we have met her previous thyroid scintigraphy showing a hot nodule in the upper part of right thyroid lobe. however, her recent thyroid scintigraphy was showing only cold nodules but no hot nodule, giving an impression that she had some treatment t...

background: hot lab is a specially designed room in a nuclear medicine hospital where the radiopharmaceuticals are delivered, stored and prepared for dispensing. 99mo/99mtc-generator is the major source in the hot lab used for various medical imaging. it is important to maintain a standard for hot lab procedures to optimize the patient care and minimize radiation exposure to all nuclear medicin...

in the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. in this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using abaqus software. in this study, it has been employed the taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

one of the most important applications of carbon nanotubes (cnts) is as reinforcement of metal matrix composites, because of their excellent mechanical properties. in this study, al-tio2-multi walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) nanocomposite is fabricated using isostatic pressing followed by hot extrusion. mechanical alloying is used to mix powders of aluminium, tio2 and mwcnts. tio2 with the amo...
