Valproic acid (VPA) has been reported to cause cognitive decline and parkinsonism that are reversed with cessation of medication. Common imaging findings among these reports demonstrate reversible cortical pseudoatrophy and enlargement of the lateral ventricles. This case exemplifies these adverse effects of VPA which can cause reversible neurological symptoms even in long-term treated patients...

asafoetida is the dried latex exuded from the living underground rhizome or tap root of ferula assafoetida. antibacterial characteristic of asafoetida was shown using the circular zone diameter of bacterial growth inhibition by disk-diffusion method on two gram positive and three gram negative bacteria. then, the bacterial genomic dna damage, induced by f. assafoetida latex, was demonstrated us...

Reservoir models with many grid blocks suffer from long run time; it is hence important to deliberate a method to remedy this drawback. Usual upscaling methods are proved to fail to reproduce fine grid model behaviors in coarse grid models in well proximity. This is attributed to rapid pressure changes in the near-well region. Standard permeability upscaling methods are limited to systems with ...

cushing’s syndrome which is an uncommon but lethal disorder occurs due to many causes. the most common endogenous cause is cushing’s disease or pituitary cushing. the etiology of this disorder is an adenoma in the anterior pituitary. the most important point in the treatment of this disorder is differentiation between cushing’s disease (pituitary) and cushing’s syndrome (adrenal). we can differ...

This paper aims to investigate the effects of motion duration on the structural seismic demands, seeking potential correlations between motion durations and structural responses at several seismic intensity levels. Three seismic intensity levels with 100years, 475years, and 2475years earthquake return periods (RPs) are first considered for correlation computations. Spectrally matched ground mot...

  Wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. To remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (WDT) seems necessary. In this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperatu...
