background and aim: iron overload in patients with thalassemia major is one of the most important complications of this disease and its cardiac complications are the most important causes of death in these patients.mri t2 is the perfect device to assess the amount of iron deposited in the heart of thalassemia patients, but it causes waste of time and also is an expensive diagnostic method. tiss...

background: carpal tunnel syndrome (ctu) is the most common neuropathy in the body and one of the most important causes of occupational disability. the aim of the present study was to compare the diagnostic power of doppler sonography and gray scale in diagnosing cts and their comparison with nerve conduction studies (ncv). methods: in this analytical study, diagnostic value of doppler and gray...

CONTEXT Hepatitis C is an important cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. The grading of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C is important for better clinical management. However, until now, liver biopsy is the only test accepted for this purpose, despite their contraindications and complications. New methods for non-invasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis are under investigation. One pr...

background: improvement of endothelial dysfunction could prevent or delay the occurrence of the atherosclerosis process in patients with kawasaki disease (kd). it is suggested that vitamin c could improve endothelial dysfunction. in this study, we investigated whether administration of vitamin c as a water-soluble antioxidant could be effective in this regard among patients with kd. materials a...

background: this study attempted to determine the effects of long-term use of vitamin c on vascular endothelial function. materials and methods: during a pilot clinical trial study conducted at imam hussein hospital (isfahan) in 2014-2015, a total of 40 diabetic patients were selected and then assigned randomly into two 20-subject groups receiving vitamin c and placebo tablets. the patients wer...

In the last lecture, two terms Average Delay and RMS Delay Spread were defined as below () () ∫ ∫ ∞ ∞ Φ Φ = 0 0 τ τ τ τ τ µ τ d d (1) () () () ∫ ∫ ∞ ∞ Φ Φ − = 0 0 2 τ τ τ τ µ τ σ τ τ d d c c (2) If the power density is discrete like Figure 1, the Average Delay and RMS Delay Spread for the multipath profile could be written in the following way: () () ∑ ∑ = k k k k k p p τ τ τ τ (3) () 2 2 τ τ σ...

Background:Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a systemic disease affecting extra pulmonary dysfunction as a result of CF-related lung disease. Because of lack of enough studies in this field and utilization of TDE in this field, we aimed to evaluate t...

Vertically pointing Doppler radar has been used to study the evolution of 4 ice particles as they sediment through a cirrus cloud. The measured Doppler 5 fall speeds, together with radar-derived estimates for the altitude of cloud 6 top, are used to estimate a characteristic fall time t c for the 'average' ice par-7 ticle. The change in radar reflectivity Z is studied as a function of t c , and...
