background : the existing evidence about the clinical situations of the bipolar patients with opioid dependence is scarce. the present study was carried out to compare the clinical features and course of the bipolar disorder type i regarding the two subgroups of opioid dependent and non-dependent. methods : there were 178 adult patients with bipolar disorder type i consecutively referred to the...

‎We prove the existence of PPF dependent coincidence points for a pair of single-valued and multi-valued mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions in Banach spaces‎. ‎Furthermore, the PPF dependent fixed point and PPF dependent common fixed point theorems for multi-valued mappings are proved.

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in camp and some other cellular ingredients following adenyl cyclase activation in paragigantocellularis (pgi) neurons of morphine dependent and withdrawn rats. material and methods: the 3.5 mm thick brainstem slice prepared from pgi area (-10.04 to -13.24 from bregma) of control and morphine dependent rats (n=5 in each group). wer...

ôbjective: ço-morbidity of personality disorders with illicit drug abuse has a deleterious effect on the management outcome of both conditions. this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of different personality disorders among substance dependent patients in an ïranian city (ïsfahan) with a view to have a better understanding of various management strategies. methods: â total of 368 dif...

background: the development of anti-red blood cell alloantibodies remains a major problem in transfusion of blood in thalassemia major patients. also, autoantibodies can result in clinical hemolysis and difficulty in cross-matching blood. we studied the frequency of red blood cell alloimmunization and autoimmunization among thalassemia patients who received regular transfusions in ilam province...

objective(s): to understand the role of mitochondrial respiration in cisplatin sensitivity, we have employed wild-type and mitochondrial dna depleted rho0 yeast cells. materials and methods: wild type and rho0 yeast cultured in fermentable and non-fermentable sugar containing media, were studied for their sensitivity against cisplatin by monitoring growth curves, oxygen consumption, ph changes ...

in this paper, optimal distributed control of the time-dependent navier-stokes equations is considered. the control problem involves the minimization of a measure of the distance between the velocity field and a given target velocity field. a mixed numerical method involving a quasi-newton algorithm, a novel calculation of the gradients and an inhomogeneous navier-stokes solver, to find the opt...

There is strong evidence demonstrating that nifedipine dissolved in ethanol selectively inhibits only L-type Ca2+ current. In addition, acute ethanol exposure reduces voltage-dependent calcium currents. In the present study, we investigated the antagonistic effect of fixed concentration of nifedipine dissolved in different concentration of ethanol on L-type Ca2+ current. In a Na+-K+ free soluti...

conclusions the personality patterns of patients dependent on methamphetamines were different from the controls. these people have a high sensitivity to punishment cues, such as being compared in social conditions and a tendency for reinforcement and reward, because of their higher sensitivity in the behavioral inhibition and activation systems. results the methamphetamine dependent group had a...
