introduction: women are facing inequalities including health, thus their health deserves attention. investigating people’s health status from their viewpoints is an important measure in terms of public health of society and an indicator to determine the efficiency of health system.  this study aimed at evaluating the self-assessed health of older women living in shiraz and yasuj. methods: this ...

introduction: ageing brings different experiences for individuals. any individual learn about ageing from childhood whatever formal or informal. no matter they learn, what and how they learn is important. this study aimed to assess impact of an educational program on ageism in those people lower 20 years of age. methods: this interventional study was conducted among school and university studen...

Aims. The study aimed to examine whether hydrogen sulfide (H2S) generation changed in the kidney of the ageing mouse and its relationship with impaired kidney function. Results. H2S levels in the plasma, urine, and kidney decreased significantly in ageing mice. The expression of two known H2S-producing enzymes in kidney, cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS), decreased ...

Abstract The present work focuses on the evolution of hardness and impact toughness after thermal exposure at high temperatures AlSi10Mg alloy produced by selective laser melting. simulated vapor deposition coatings aluminum alloys. aim is to assess possibility combining ageing step heat treatments treatment. was aged 160 180 °C for up 4 hours, both directly an innovative rapid solution Direct ...

Abstract In order to explore the possibilities enabled by laser beam powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M), reliable material models are necessary optimize designs with respect weight and stiffness. Due unique processing conditions in PBF-LB/M, materials often develop a dominating microstructure that leads anisotropic mechanical properties, thus isotropic fail account for orientation-dependent...

The effects of heat treatment on the microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior Al-Si-Cu alloy were investigated. Solution was performed at 500oC/6h 540oC/6h, followed by quenching in warm water 60ºC. Lastly, artificial ageing 160ºC/6h, 190ºC/4h 210ºC/2h. samples before after treatments analyzed optical microscopy, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS)...

Today, older adults are routinely classified into different categories based on their degrees of independence. However, due to the extreme heterogeneity this group, and fact that ageing is a progressive process, may require customized prosthetic treatment. Older people, during ageing, quickly pass frail condition, with loss independence manual skills necessary for proper hygiene maintenance. Wi...

Thirteen Brahman x Shorthorn steers approximately 18 months of age with a mean carcass weight of 190 (a 7.1) kg and a mean fat thickness of 5.8 (+ 1.9) mm at the rump P8 site were subjected to 4 postslaughter treatments. These were: no electrical stimulation or ageing (NIL); electrical stimulation, no ageing (ES); no electrical stimulation, ageing (AGED); electrical stimulation and ageing(ESAGE...
