assesment of health related quality of life (hrql) is increasingly recognized as an important part of the patient care in asthma. we aimed to evaluate the effect of personality disorders (pds) on hrql and the severity of disease in asthmatic patients. ninety seven consecutive patients with asthma and ninety healthy controls were included. all  patients  completed  a  short  form-36  health  sur...

garlic (allium sativum l., alliaceae), persian shallot (allium ascalonicum l., alliaceae ) and sage (salvia officinalis l., lamiaceae) are believed to have hypoglycemic properties and have been used traditionally as antidiabetic herbal medicines in iran. in this study, diabetes was induced by subcutaneous injection of alloxan monohydrate (100 mg kg−1) to male wistar rats. antidiabetic effects of...

objective(s) galectin-3 (gal-3) is a member of the b-galactoside-binding lectins which is expressed in a variety of tissues and plays a role in diverse biological events, such as embryogenesis, adhesion, cellular proliferation, and apoptosis. in this study, the presence and distribution of galectin-3 (gal-3) in the mouse testicular tissue was investigated. materials and methods eight adult nmri...

In this paper, we revisit and study the basic properties of two families fuzzy implications, so-called (T,N)− (N′,T,N)− implications. More specific, when these implications satisfy, or not, neutrality property (NP), exchange principle (EP), identity (IP) ordering (OP). Moreover, a is presented for law importation (LI) with respect to t- norm. Also, relation Φ−conjugation in

in this paper, lift and drag coefficients were numerically investigated using numeca software in a set of 4-digit naca airfoils. two metamodels based on the evolved group method of data handling (gmdh) type neural networks were then obtained for modeling both lift coefficient (cl) and drag coefficient (cd) with respect to the geometrical design parameters. after using such obtained polynomial n...

such aabiotic stresses like water stress are some of the most important threats to the production of agricultural crops. it is almost very rare to find a place with no stress where plants can reach their potential yield. a water stress of 17 percent decrease yield, due to its effect upon fruit setting is notable. therefore, a study was conducted in bushehr agricultural research center (located ...

two series (a and b) of n- substituted heteroaromatic compounds related to clotrimazole were synthesized. imidazole ring of the clotrimazole was replaced by 2-methylimidazole in series a, and by 2-methyl-4-nitroimidazole in series b. o-cholortrityl moiety of clotrimazole was also replaced by trityl, mono or dimethoxy trityl. chemical structures of all the new compounds were confirmed by spec-tr...
