BACKGROUND Although multifaceted community-based programmes have been widely developed, there remains a paucity of evaluation of the effectiveness of multifaceted injury prevention programmes implemented in different settings in the community context. This study was to provide information for the evaluation of community-based health education programmes of injury prevention among high school st...

BACKGROUND Researchers believe that most of diabetic patients are not necessarily aware of the role of exercises, especially jogging in controlling their disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of educational program and jogging based on health belief model (HBM) on sugar control in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS One hundred diabetic (type 2) patients were involved in...

BACKGROUND Hyaline body myopathy (HBM) is a rare chronic nonprogressive congenital myopathy, with variable patterns of inheritance. METHODS We describe a patient with congenital HBM with progression of weakness and increasing muscle pain in adulthood. Three muscle biopsies, done at various times in her life, are reported. RESULTS Symptoms started during childhood; however, as an adult, foll...

Very recently, Yildirim et al. [1] applied the so-called Hamiltonian approach (HA) to obtain analytical approximate solutions for three well-known nonlinear oscillators. The authors mentioned that this approach is a kind of energy method with a vast application in conservative oscillatory systems, and they applied the approach to nonlinear oscillators with rational and irrational elastic terms....

Introduction Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent synthetic organochlorines. Due to their lipophilicity they accumulate in the food chain and in human lipid tissue and can cause a variety of dose-dependent adverse health effects in different tissues and organs. Although their prohibition in the early 1980ies led to a significant decrease of the body burden of the population, PCBs are...

Abstract Presented herein is a novel design framework for obtaining the optimal of functionally graded lattice (FGL) structures that involve using physical discrete structural model called Hencky bar-grid (HBM) and topology optimization (TO). The continuous FGL structure discretized by HBM comprising rigid bars, frictionless hinges, pulleys, elastic primary secondary axial springs, torsional sp...

Background: Adherence to the treatment regimen reduces complications of surgery after heart valve replacement. Educating patient can improve adherence. This study thus aimed evaluate effect education based on health belief model (HBM) adherence in patients with replacement surgery. Methods: In this quasi-experimental research, a total 90 undergoing were studied. The subjects selected randomly a...

aim: hypertension is a chronic and asymptomatic disease leading to death of at least 45% of patients with cardiovascular diseases (cvds). self-care is important to minimize the risks and complications caused by hypertension.this aim of the present study was to determine the predictive power of constructs of the health belief model (hbm) in self-care behaviors of patients with hypertension.metho...

The effects of 5,10-Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism on human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) viability, morphology, physiology and differentiation capacity were investigated in this study. For purpose, primary hBM-MSCs with wild type (WT, C/C), heterozygote (HTZ, C/T) homozygote (HMZ, T/T) for the MTHFR gene obtained ethical committee permiss...

HBM and MM are important standards for ESD testing and typically correlate well. In some notable cases however, MM shows much lower failure levels than HBM. One of the most important physical mechanisms responsible for this is dynamic avalanching. This paper provides an example of such a dynamic avalanching failure, and includes a description of the physics involved. The correlation between HBM...
