PURPOSE Distance stereoacuity is used to monitor deterioration of intermittent exotropia (IXT), but variability of stereoacuity has not been studied rigorously. The purpose of this study was to assess the variability of stereoacuity over one day in children with IXT. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Twelve children with IXT were recruited. Stereoacuity was assessed using the Frisby ...

This paper presents a corrective control scheme that automatically counteracts the adverse effect of intermittent faults in the logic of asynchronous sequential machines. When an intermittent fault occurs to the machine, a set of state transitions defined in the machine suspends the normal behavior for a finite interval. The objective is to design a corrective controller that makes the closed-l...

Abstract Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by cutaneous findings dry skin, erythematous scaly papules, or plaques, and lichenification. The hallmark AD pruritis, which drives most burden. While this thought to primarily affect children, it commonly affects adults as well [1]. In adult population, may be persistent from childhood, relapsing that w...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the protective effects of two types of aerobic and intermittent training on breast cancer as a result of TGFβ protein, Smad-3, and MMP2 gene in female mice. Methods: In the experimental study, a total of 24 female BALB/c mice after Tumorigenesis by MC4-L2 cell line in the three groups; Control, Aerobic, and Intermittent training groups,...
