we reports a six-year-old child with autistic disorder and methadone intoxication. developmental disorders may mislead the caretakers and doctors to interpret the clinical manifestation and behavioral changes of these patients. methadone indigestion can be fatal in children even in a tiny amount and cardiac monitoring should be performed at least for the first 24 hours. the pervasive prescripti...

the study examined prospects of selected forest fruits and vegetables in enugu north agricultural zone of enugu state, nigeria. structured interview schedule and focus group discussion were used to collect data from a sample of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents. data were analyzed using matrix rank ordering, percentage, mean scores and standard deviation. results of the study identified ...

the present work is the successful extension of an improved equation of state (eos) to refrigerant fluids. the objective is the prediction of isothermal and saturated liquid densities of refrigerants. two temperature-independent parameters appearing in the modified eos are closely related to critical point properties of refrigerant fluids. our results showed that, the proposed eos can predict w...

an analytical equation of state has been previously modified by papari et al. for representing the volumetric properties of molecular fluids. however the performance of that eos has not been yet well investigated for refrigerant fluids. this study extended that equation to 19 liquid refrigerants to predict their densities at isothermal and saturated states. two temperature-independent parameter...

a valid questionnaire is a precursor to a sound measurement process. this study examined the psychometric properties of the persian version of the revised competitive state anxiety inventory – 2 (csai-2r). a total of 131 female taekwondo athletes (mean age =12.37 ± 2.52) from damghan completed csai-2r at competition venues. confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the structure of csai-...

among state`s duties are constructing roads, water pipelines and the likes. in order to do these the state sometimes has to utilize private owners` lands. this research, we seek to investigate this questions that is there any possibility of liability for usurpation for state if these formalities are not be observed? some researchers have questioned the possibility of this liability. in this res...

background staphylococcus aureus (sa) is frequently found on normal human skin and mucous membranes. methicilline resistance s. aureus (mrsa) strains have spread in many hospital isolates world wide since 1970s. hospital personnel tend to have higher colonization rates than the general population. colonized residents and personnel are sources for dissemination of organism. materials and methods...

in this case we present a previously healthy child with sudden behavioral change and acute confusional state (acs). acs is a neurologic emergency. the clinical manifestations of acs are; confused affect, limited verbal response, disturbance in performing orders, some automatism, stable vital signs and absence of tonic-clonic movements and it has a wide range of differential diagnosis which shou...
