post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) is an anxiety disorder that can typically occur after traumatic events in which the individual felt sever helplessness or horror. ptsd has a lifetime prevalence of 5–8% and women show higher prevalence than in compared with men. neuroinflammation is associated to anxiety and related disorders such as ptsd. it is an early, specialized immune reaction fallowi...

our previous study showed that coriandrum sativum (cs) has antinociceptive effects, but the mechanisms that mediate this effect are not clear. the present study was designed to test the role of opiate system in the antinociceptive effects of cs on acute and chronic pain in mice using hot plate (hp), tail flick (tf) and formalin (ft) tests and also to compare its effect with dexamethasone (dex) ...

A thin metal film vapor deposited on thick elastomer substrate develops an equi-biaxial compressive stress state when the system is cooled due to the large thermal expansion mismatch between the elastomer and the metal. At a critical stress, the film undergoes buckling into a family of modes with short wavelengths characteristic of a thin plate on a compliant elastic foundation. As the system i...

Native speakers of a lexical accent system (Russians) were tested on their second language (L2) acquisition of a phonological stress system (Polish). In Russian, a sizeable part of the lexicon is underlyingly marked for accents and claims on the position of default stress vary. This makes it interesting to investigate which L1 characteristics (distribution of lexical accents vs. phonological de...

THE PELVIC RING IS STRESSED BY EXTERNAL FORCES by partial body weight, by ligament tension, and by muscles forces stabilizing the hip joints. For the symphysis ossis pubis there exist data concerning the type and magnitude of stresses. In one-leg-standing pressure, shear forces are predominant, and in both-leg-standing tensile forces are acting on the pelvic ring. Rupture of the symphysis is pr...

PURPOSE To investigate the impact of colored overlays on the accommodative response of individuals, with and without pattern-related visual stress (PRVS), a condition in which individuals manifest symptoms of perceptual distortion and discomfort when viewing a 3-cyc/deg square-wave grating. METHODS Under double-masked conditions, 11 individuals who reported PRVS selected an overlay with a col...

The relationship between tone pattern and word stress is investigated on different aspects. The distribution of the original tones of the unstressed syllables in disyllabic words, the perception of word stress in utterances and the allocation of sentence stresses within words are analyzed. The results of the analyses coincide quite well, indicating that tone has something to do with the engende...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between patellofemoral contact stress and intraoperative knee kinematic patterns after mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Medial osteoarthritic knees of forty-six posterior-stabilized total knee prostheses were evaluated using a computed tomography-guided navigation system. Subjects were divided into two groups based on intraopera...

Objective(s): In developing countries and worldwide cervical cancer is an important cause of   female mortality. Reports describing the frequency and pattern of abnormal Pap smears in Saudi Arabia, using the revised Bethesda system (RBS) are very few. The current study was conducted to explore the changing pattern of epithelial cell abnormalities (ECA) detected in Pap smears (PS) in females of ...
