neonatal respiratory distress is a very common problem in our practice. the causes may be respiratory, cardiovascular, central, metabolic, haematological and surgical. the cause of distress due to transient myocardial depression is not very common in mild asphyxia. we present a case having transient myocardial depression with severe respiratory distress and features of shock in a mild asphyxiat...

Soft systems methodology (SSM) is a well-known Problem Structuring Methods that has proven effective when tackling problematic situations. To model different perceptions of situation, SSM encourage stakeholders to propose possible transformation likely improve the situation. The more transformations compiled richer process become; but in practice, managing higher number presents challenge. Valu...

in this paper, intelligent water drop algorithm (iwd) is used to analyze single overhead line connected to grid-grounded arrester. in this approach, at first norton’s equivalent circuit of the overhead line over lossy soil is computed by method of moments (mom) and then for the problem under consideration, a nonlinear equivalent circuit in the frequency domain is proposed. finally applying inte...

BACKGROUND Ganglionated plexi (GP) ablation has been shown to play an important role in atrial fibrillation (AF) initiation and maintenance. Also, GP ablation increases chances for prevention of AF recurrence. This study investigated the effects of GP ablation on ventricular electrophysiological properties in normal dog hearts and after acute myocardial ischemia (AMI). METHODS Fifty anestheti...

Like most class C G-protein-coupled receptors, metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors possess a large extracellular domain where orthosteric ligands bind. Crystal structures revealed that this domain, called Venus FlyTrap (VFT), adopts a closed or open conformation upon agonist or antagonist binding, respectively. We have described amino-pyrrolidine tricarboxylic acids (APTCs), including (2S,4...
