medication errors and adverse drug events can bring about hospitalization, permanent injury, or death. patients due to lack of adequate understanding of instruction may unintentionally misuse a prescribed medicine. the aims of the study were to examine whether patients with low back pain were correctly able to understand physician's instructions regarding drug use and also to identify influenci...

background: numerous in vitro reports suggest that low level laser therapy (lllt) affects cellular processes by biostimulation, however most of them emphasize on using visible light lasers which have low penetration. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of infrared laser light (which is more useful in clinic because of its higher penetration) on secretion of fibroblast growth facto...

in the present research work, influence of fleawort (plantago ovate l.) seed hydrocolloid at three concentration level (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) was investigated on physicochemical, textural and sensory characteristics of low fat yoghurt. the treated yoghurt samples were compared with a positive (3% fat) and negative (0.2%) control sample after 1, 7 and 15 days of storage. fleawort seed hydrocolloid...

introduction: previous studies have been shown that low frequency stimulation (lfs) has an inhibitory effect on kindling acquisition. however, the mechanism of this effect has not been completely determined. in the present study, the effect of lfs of the perforant path on seizures induced by rapid perforant path kindling was investigated. methods: animals were kindled by electrical stimulation ...

one of the world's major mineral dust source regions lies along the border between iran and afghanistan. in this studyit is hypothesized that a low-level jet may play in role in generating the intensity of this source region. the presence of alow-level jet east of the seistan mountains is documented here for the first time. the jet exists mainly from may toseptember and has a core at 850 mb. ma...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of inoculation of homo-fermentative lactic acid bacteria(lab) on ensiling characteristics and nutritive value of low dry matter corn silage (ldmcs). corn foragewas harvested at milk stage (22.8 ± 0.9% dm), chopped at theoretical length of cut (tlc) 2.5 cm, and stored in eighteen 3.8 l mini silos for each treatment. the following treatments were u...

the current study assesses the root causes of hydrogen blisters on low strength carbon steel equipment. for this purpose, some experiments including hardness test, non-destructive test (ndt), metallography, and fractograpghy are conducted. the microstructure of two blisters is assessed by means of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the microstructural studies show that t...

propose: standard electroporation and electrochemotherapy caused the endothe- lial cell permeability and reduction in tumor blood flow. the effects of low voltage and high frequency electroporation on the endothelial cells permeability and viability were expected. therefore, the propose of present study was to evaluate the effect of electroporation with bleomycin or alone on viability and perme...

this article reports a study of the thermo-oxidation and biodegradation in the soil of low-density polyethylene/starch films (ldpe/starch) by infrared spectroscopy: films of ldpe/starch blends of different composition (starch content range from 0 to 15% w/w),were prepared and exposed to thermo-oxidation at different temperatures at 80, 90 and 100°c,and buried in the soil of public dump during 3...

aim and background: pain is a complex experience involving psychological factors which results in functional disorder. this study aimed to analyze the correlation between cognitive and emotional factors with chronic low back pain among women in isfahan, iran. methods and materials: in this cross-sectional research, the target population included all women with chronic low back pain that referre...
