objective behavioral interventions such as relaxation training and biofeedback are some of the most effective interventions for management of migraine headaches. in this study we evaluated the utility of biofeedback-assisted progressive muscle relaxation training (prt) in the treatment of migraine. materials and methods in this prospective study, twenty patients (12-18 years old) with a confirm...

abstract background: fatigue is the most common and highly disabling symptom of multiple sclerosis (ms) that has negative effects on employment, the process of socialization, compliance with the disease, and other factors effective on activities of daily living. the usage of complementary and alternative medicine methods in ms patients is higher than in the general population. however, there is...

I T HAS been a common experience among those who study dental radiographs to note the wide variation in appearance among sets of radiographs produced with standard technics. The routine x-ray examination of a group of individuals will produce some sets of radiographs which are generally dark or dense and other sets which appear quite light or thin, but the appearance of the majority of the sets...

One of the main principles in hand surgery is the restitution of sensation in fingers which seems hard or impossible in extensive hand traumas especially in war injuries. In this article transfer of sensory branch of radial nerve to sensory branch of median (in 25 cases) and to sensory branch of ulnar nerve (for the first time in literature and in 12 cases) is reported. Operative technics and r...

We estimate locations of the regions of the percolation and of the non-percolation in the plane (λ, β): the Poisson rate – the inverse temperature, for interacted particle systems in finite dimension Euclidean spaces. Our results about the percolation and about the nonpercolation are obtained under different assumptions. The intersection of two groups of the assumptions reduces the results to t...

HE RENEWED INTEREST in magnesium alterations in human disease states has originated a search for simpler and more accurate analytic technics for the determination of magnesium in body fluids. Several recent methods are based upon the chelating reaction of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA). A procedure for the determination of magnesium in erythrocytes (1) involving spectrophotometric titr...

The purpose of this report is to show that the nature of lesions or tissue abnormalities of the living, intact human breast can be determined by the use of pulsed ultrasound. The study is not necessarily directed toward cancer detection and is not necessarily intended to replace existing technics of detection and diagnosis of breast le sions, but rather is aimed at the more fundamental question...
