Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinology problems of infertile women. Since lifestyle modification and weight loss is the most effective treatment and associated with failure in many cases, this study evaluated the factors impact on weight loss of PCOS women. Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional study was conducted on 150 infertile women of ...

Muon colliders are a possible future tool for the exploration of physics at the TeV scale and beyond. The current status of the developent of the muon collider concept is described in Ref. [1], which includes a description of a 3 TeV center-ofmass (COM) machine. One of the major challenges to realizing a highluminosity muon collider is to cool the diffuse bunches of muons produced in pion decay...

The incidence of malignant melanoma has increased steadily over the past 30 years and this type of malignancy is the leading cause of death from cutaneous malignant disease. Cutaneous malignancies, including melanoma, can be detected at a very early stage and a cure is possible with prompt detection and treatment. In recent years, and mainly because of increased awareness of the early detection...

TOP Objective: To compare the vowel and consonant identification ability of cochlear implant patients using a 6-channel continuous interleaved sampling (CIS) processor and of normal-hearing subjects using simulations of processors with two to nine channels. Design: Subjects, 10 normal-hearing listeners and seven cochlear implant patients, were presented synthetic vowels in /bVt/ context, natura...

Oxygen delivery to the tissues is crucial to survival but our understanding of the processes involved in the transport of oxygen from blood to tissue is incomplete. The aim of the present work is to illustrate a long-standing paradox regarding such transport by reporting new state-of-the-art measurements and by analyzing the results in several ways, thereby exploring possible resolutions of the...
