background: information regarding the metabolic hormones in different metabolic states of high producing dairy cows can aid high producing herds to manage and resolve the metabolic and production problems. furthermore, it can be considered as a tool to evaluate metabolic status of dairy cows. herd managers can also evaluate the energy input-output relationships by assessing the metabolic profil...

Background: Spiritual health is one of the important factors predicting human health. This study aimed to determine the relationship between mothers’ spiritual health with newborns’ physical development indices and other physiologic parameters.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 155 mothers giving birth to newborns were selected from Hazrat Zeinab hospital during 2017-2018. The data w...

CONCLUSION: The normothermic perfusion protocol has the potential to significantly impact outcomes in limb replantation and transplantation. Our results suggest that limbs in the 12-hours perfusion group retain better physiologic parameters at the end-point. However, the continuous optimization of the protocol allowed to maintain limb’s function and preserved peripheral perfusion for up to 44 h...

Normal full-term infants were followed by serial transcutaneous bilirubinometry over the first week of life. The pattern of physiologic jaundice in our population was similar to that shown for white infants. Mean maximum bilirubin peak was seen on day four of life and was also similar to that shown for American white infants. The incidence of non physiologic hyperbilirubinemia defined as 2...

Six subjects wearing either nonreflective or reflective outer garments of equal insulative value (I clo) and unventilated were exposed in 96 experiments to heat pulses of 930, 1210, 1490, and 1770 C for 15, 12, 9, and 2 minutes, respectively. The experiments were designed to simulate a range of re-entry heat exposures produced by malfunction or failure of the air-conditioning system of the vehi...

abstract background: premature infants are subjected to many painful procedures during care and treatment. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of music therapy on physiological and behavioral pain responses of premature infants during and after blood sampling. materials and methods: this study was a cross-over clinical trial conducted on 20 infants in a hospital affiliated to tehran ...

introduction: anesthetic agents, blood pressure, arterial ph and blood gases have found to influence on the pathophysiology of experimental stroke. despite, there are very few comparative studies about effects of anesthetic agents in animal model of cerebral ischemia. therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of chloral hydrate and pentobarbital anesthesia, as comparative study, on ...
