the aim of this study was to compare defense styles and mechanisms in adult patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd), and panic disorder (pd) with normal subjects in iran.defensive patterns of 22 patients with ocd, 28 patients with pd and those of 116 normal individuals (as a control group) were assessed using the farsi version of defense style questionnaire-40 (dsq-40). the ...

Parkinson disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive and debilitating disease. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the dimensions of Roy Adaptation Model (RAM) and General Health (GH) and Satisfaction with Life (SWL) in PD patients. This was a cross-sectional study. Samples were selected from the PD patients in 2016. The data was gathered by demographic, RAM, GH and SWL Scale que...

Introduction: Parkinson disease (PD) is the second frequent human neurodegenerative disease following Alzheimer. This illness is caused by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the compact part of substantia nigra (SNpc). Clinical demonstrations are observable when 70% of dopaminergic neurons in SNpc and 80% of dopaminergic terminals in striatum have been degenerated. Characterization of non-...

In the present study, we investigated the effect of a new anticancer Pd(II) complex, 1,10-phenanthroline-n-butyl dithiocarbamato Pd(II) nitrate, on the heme releasing from human hemoglobin (Hb) as well as alterations in the structure and function of Hb using different spectroscopic methods of UV-Vis, fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD)at two temperatures of 25 and 37 °C. Fluorescence data ...

Background: In most cancer cases, the treatment choice for a pregnant patient is radiotherapy. In these patients, the abdomen is usually not exposed therefore fetus exposure is due to peripheral dose (PD). The purpose of this study was to estimate the fetal dose (the maximum PD in each pregnancy stage) for modalities available and to fabricate and evaluate a generally applicable fetal ...

Background: Parkinson Disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that affect patients’ functions, especially while performing dual tasks--a critical factor in everyday living. However, many controversies exist about the benefits of dual-task training in patients with PD. Objectives: This study assessed the efficacy of motor and cognitive dual-task training in improving balanc...

objective(s):parkinson's disease (pd) is known for motor impairments. but often, there are non-motor symptoms such as cognitive deficiency and pain misperception, owing to possible role of nigrostriatal pathway. antioxidants have protective effect on free radical-induced neuronal damage in pd. to further address, we examined the effects of ellagic acid (ea) in a rat model of pd induced by ...
