introduction: patients with schizophrenia characteristically exhibit cognitive deficits. the level of cognitive impairment is found to predict the functional outcome of the illness more strongly than the severity of positive or negative symptoms. the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of ondansetron, a 5-ht3 receptor antagonist as an adjuvant agent in the treatment of chronic schi...

beta-2 adrenoceptors in blood vessels are one of the active factors that play a role in regulation of tissue blood flow. in diabetic angiopathy, responsiveness of these receptors is decreased, while that is increased in inflammation. according to these opposite effects, the aim of this study was to investigate the vasodilatory response of knee joint blood vessels to salbutamol (beta-2 adrenocep...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: in some studies, the level of adenosine deaminase ( ada) in sputum and effusion liquids was used for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (tb). but it is not always possible to access these materials. the goal of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of serum ada levels in pulmonary tb patients. materials and methods: in this study, 40 s...

background and purpose: future generalists require in depth exposure to primary care practice and the opportunity to work with successful generalist role models.changes in hospital practice, patient availability, increased student numbers and their expectations and a redefinition of expected learning outcomes are changing the emphasis of clinical teaching away from traditional inpatient setting...

in the water-limited areas, the great challenge of the agricultural sector is more production from less water that it can be achieved by increasing water productivity. a field study was conducted to compare various cultivars of wheat to water using line source sprinkler irrigation at gorgan research station in 2005-2006. the effect of variable water supply on yield and wue of six wheat cultivar...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa epilepsy is more common in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) than in the general population, occurring in 2%–3% of patients. convulsions may be either tonic–clonic in nature or partial complex. in these individuals, seizures most likely result from lesions present in the cerebral cortex and subcortical white matter. a jacksonian seizure is a typ...

abstract: salicylic acid is a phytohormone with phenolic nature which has been proved its role in increasing plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stress in several studies. this study was performed in order to investigation of interaction between 0, 0.5 and 1.5 mm concentrations of salicylic acid, as a seed pretreatment and different levels of drought stress (100, 75, 50 and 25 percent of fie...

the conformational behaviors of 2,3-bis(methylthio)-1,4-dioxane (1), 2,3-bis(methylthio)-1,4-dithiane (2) and 2,3-bis(methylthio)-1,4-diselenane (3) have been analyzed by means ofhybrid-density functional theory (b3lyp/def2-tzvpp) based method and nbo interpretation.b3lyp/def2-tzvpp results showed that the axial conformations of compounds 1-3 are morestable than their equatorial conformations. ...
