BACKGROUND Little is known about the perceived barriers among smokers who do not utilize phone-based, population-level smoking-cessation services. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to improve understanding of a media campaign's impact in promoting a phone-based, time-limited smoking-cessation program as measured by smoker awareness of the program, untapped interest in the program, perceiv...

We describe our experience with blowgun dart aspiration via an illustrative case series and review the resources available to teach children how to construct these objects. A 15-year-old boy presented with cough, wheeze, and eventually admitted to aspiration of a homemade blowgun dart. This instance heightened the awareness of our experience with blowgun dart aspiration as 3 cases presented wit...

As in many other fields, biology is faced with enormous amounts of data that contains valuable information that is yet to be extracted. The field of proteomics, the study of proteins, has the luxury of having large repositories containing data from tandem mass-spectrometry experiments, readily accessible for everyone who is interested. At the same time, there is still a lot to discover about pr...

Liver regeneration is known to begin after experimentally induced liver resection. At first 24-48 hours, DNA synthesis reaches the maximum level resection and significantly occur on 10 days. In this study, we was examined of 1st 14th days 
 experiment 21 Wistar albino male rats were used. The randomly divided into three groups. All groups realized midline incision with laparotomy for liver...

motivated by the terminal wiener index‎, ‎we define the ashwini index $mathcal{a}$ of trees as‎ begin{eqnarray*}‎ % ‎nonumber to remove numbering (before each equation)‎ ‎mathcal{a}(t) &=& sumlimits_{1leq i‎&+& deg_{_{t}}(n(v_{j}))],‎ ‎end{eqnarray*}‎ ‎where $d_{t}(v_{i}‎, ‎v_{j})$ is the distance between the vertices $v_{i}‎, ‎v_{j} in v(t)$‎, ‎is equal to the length of the shortest path start...

the sadhana index (sd) is a newly introduced cyclic index. efficient formulae for calculatingthe sd (sadhana) index of linear phenylenes are given and a simple relation is establishedbetween the sd index of phenylenes and of the corresponding hexagonal sequences.
