isolation and differentiation of various species of mycobacteria are predominantly based on conventional, cultural and biochemical tests. among the non-tuberculous mycobacteria, these tests are unable to differentiate m. scrofulaceum from m. avium-intracellulare (mai) because of their identical biochemical characteristics. for this reason, one hundred mycobacterial strains suspected to be m. sc...

introduction: febrile seizure is the most common problem in pediatric neurology that occur s in 3– 4% of children. the purpose of this study was to evaluate demographic and clinical characteristics of first febrile seizures in children admitted to the hospital. methods: in a descriptive retrospective study, medical records of children with first febrile seizure, admitted between march 2004and a...

an octahedral cobalt(iii) complex, trans-[(me2bpb)co(bzlan)2]clo4 (1), with h2me2bpb = n,n’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ir, uv-vis, and 1h nmr spectroscopy. the structure of this complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography. the me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...

complex regional pain syndrome (crps) is a variety of painful conditions following injury which appears regionally having a distal predominance of abnormal findings. this study, evaluate the use of phentolamine for sympathetic block and regional anesthesia in treatment of crps related pain. in this study, 68 patients with crps who were referred to pain clinics of imam hossein and akhtar hospita...

in this present work, the kudryashov method and the functional variable method are used to construct exact solutions of the complex kdv equation. the kudryashov method and the functional variable method are powerful methods for obtaining exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations.

in this paper, we verify the solvability of free product of finite cyclic groups with topological methods. we use cayley graphs and everitt methods to construct suitable 2-complexes corresponding to the presentations of groups and their commutator subgroups. in particular, using these methods, we prove that the commutator subgroup of $mathbb{z}_{m}*mathbb{z}_{n}$ is free of rank $(m-1)(n-1)$ fo...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background: electroencephalography (eeg) has vital and significant applications in different medical fields and is used for the primary evaluation of neurological disorders. hence, having easy access to suitable and useful signal is very important. artifacts are undesirable confusions which are generally originated from inevitable human activities such...

the stability constants of species present in the systems ni(ii)-pyridoxamine(pym)(a) and ni(ii)-pyridoxamine(pym)(a)-imidazole containing ligands(b) [b = imidazole(him),  benzimidazole(bim), histamine(hist) and l-histidine(his)] have been determined ph-metrically using the miniquad computer program. the existence of the species niah, nia and nia2 was proven for the ni(ii)-pym(a) system, wherea...

carney’s complex is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome that involves spotty skin pigmentations, recurrent cardiac myxomas, endocrine hyperactivity, pituitary adenomas, peripheral nerve tumors, testicular tumors, and ovarian lesions. we present a case of sudden cardiac death in a 40 year old female with a history of carney’s complex with recurrent cardiac...
