OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of low-to-high doses of tamoxifen on ovarian histopathology, serum VEGF, and endothelin 1 levels in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in an experimental setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 female Wistar albino rats, 22 days of age, were randomly divided into four groups. Follicle-stimulating hormone 10 IU was administered subcutaneously in 15 r...

In this paper, based on the classical Yano’s formula, we first establish an optimal integral inequality for compact Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms, which involves Ricci curvature direction \(J\mathbf {H}\) and norm of covariant differentiation second fundamental form h, where J is almost structure \(\mathbf mean vector field. Second analogously, Legendrian Sasakian forms with \(...

It is well known that the two-sample Student t test fails to maintain its significance level when the variances of treatment groups are unequal, and, at the same time, sample sizes are unequal. However, introductory textbooks in psychology and education often maintain that the test is robust to variance heterogeneity when sample sizes are equal. The present study discloses that, for a wide vari...

Using the push-out test, this study evaluated the bond strength of the composite resin Z250 (3M/ESPE) photoactivated with the XL2500 (3M/ESPE) quartz-tungsten-halogen light-curing unit with different curing protocols: soft-start (150 mW/cm² for 2 s (S2), 3 s (S3), 5 s (S5), 10 s (S10) or 15 s (S15), followed by 700 mW/cm² for 15 s; pulse-delay (150 mW/cm² for 2 s (P2), 3 s (P3), 5 s (P5), 10 s ...
