Introduction: Obese and overweight women are more prone to gestational diabetes. Body mass index and weight gain during pregnancy play an important role in pregnancy and is considered as an important indicator of maternal and neonatal health. Because the prevalence of obesity in Yazd is remarkable, we studied the relationship between gestational diabetes with Pre-pregnancy BMI and weight gainin...

calcium fluoride deposit during fluoride application. uptake and retention of fluoride by saliva depends generally on the concentration of calcium. in this study, the effect of calcium pre-rinse on salivary fluoride concentration after a 900 ppm fluoride mouthwash was investigated.this cross-over double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in a girls' dormitory in zahedan university of...

Recent data showed that phenylpropanoid compound, methylchavicol is essential component of Iranian cultivars of basil. Studying their occurrence during development of plant may help to elucidate the role of phenylpropanoids in plant cell physiology. We followed the phenylpropanoids concentration and the expression of genes related to their biosynthesis during growth and development of two culti...

Background and Importance: Our learning curve during two decades of neurosurgical practice has been changed from an abstractive to a more meaningful and conductive state. In cases of fifth nerve neurinoma, pre-operative anatomopathologic diagnosis could lead us to a pre-planned program during and after the surgery to get the safe surgical result. Case Presentation: Representation of two comp...

purpose: to compare the efficacy of adding an opposite clear corneal incision (occi) on the steep axis during phacoemulsification in reducing the pre-existing corneal astigmatism. methods: this randomized clinical trial was performed on 120 eyes with corneal astigmatism of >1d undergoing phacoemulsification. incisions were made based on the type of astigmatism as follows: superior or superior+o...

due to problems in storage, transport and price fluctuation of fresh potato, production of ready-to-use products like french fries is of particular importance.one of the important steps in product processing is pre-drying.sticks with 0.8*0.8*8 cm dimensions were prepared, blanched with hot water at 75°c for 10 minutes and dried at four different air temperatures of 50, 60, 70 and 80°c to moistu...

the main objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of short- term exposure of japanese quail eggs to acute high incubation temperature on embryonic development and on the ability of post- hatched chicks to cope with subsequent heat stress conditions during the growing period. a total of 998 japanese quail eggs were divided into two groups, the first group (470 eggs) was maintained at ...

In this paper, we focus on a continuously deteriorating critical equipment which its failure cannot be measured by cost criterion. For these types of systems like military systems, nuclear systems, etc it is extremely important to avoid failure during the actual operation of the system. In this paper we propose an approach which constrains failure probability to a pre-specified value. This valu...
