BACKGROUND Prevalence of subclinical involvement of motor pathways in clinically diagnosed Brachial Monomelic Amyotrophy (BMMA) is unknown. AIMS To determine the prevalence of subclinical involvement of central motor pathways in BMMA using transcranial magnetic stimulation. SETTING AND DESIGN Prospective case-control study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Central motor conduction time (CMCT) was de...

Our goal was to describe our experience of the folded radial forearm flap (RFF) flap in through-and-through buccal defect reconstructions.Patients who had received a folded RFF flap for full-thickness cheek defect reconstruction were included. The flap success rate and functional results were evaluated.Six patients were enrolled. All flaps survived totally without any complication; the mean fla...

Abstract Research has found strong evidence for common and distinct morphometric brain abnormality profiles in nonaffective psychosis (NAff-P) affective (Aff-P). Due to chronicity prolonged medication exposure confounds, it is crucial examine structural morphometry early the course of psychosis. Using Human Connectome Project-Early Psychosis data, multivariate profile analyses were implemented ...

A kinetic approach was used to determine the radical scavenging activities of sinapic acid and its derivatives: sinapine, 4-vinylsyringol, syringic acid, syringaldehyde, and ethyl, propyl and butyl sinapate. The responses were expressed as rates of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH˙) scavenging (RS), superoxide radical (O₂˙-) scavenging (RFF), and β-carotene bleaching in the emulsion ...

The objective of the study was to estimate genetic parameters for length of productive life (LPL), and determine its genetic correlation with age at first farrowing (AFF), number of piglets weaned at first farrowing (NW), and first wean-to-insemination interval (W2I) in the Finnish Landrace swine population. Data from the Finnish national litter recording scheme were utilized to estimate the ge...

Heme oxygenases (HO-1, HO-2) catalyze conversion of heme to iron, carbon monoxide (CO), and biliverdin/bilirubin. We studied the effects of renal HO-1 induction on afferent arteriole (Aff-Art) autoregulatory responses to increases in renal perfusion pressure (RPP). Rats were treated with hemin and SnCl2 to induce HO-1, and Aff-Art autoregulatory responses were evaluated using the rat blood-perf...

پایش دمای سطح زمین (LST)، که یکی از پارامترهای مهم زیست‌محیطی محسوب می‌شود، تا کنون با استفاده سنجنده‌های سنجش دوری دارای توان تفکیک زمانی بالا، همچون سنجندة مادیس (توان روزانه و مکانی یک کیلومتر)، به‌طور گسترده‌ای صورت گرفته است. مهم‌ترین مشکلات این سنجنده‌ها پایین‌بودن آنهاست کارآیی‌شان را، در مواردی شناخت آتش مناطق جنگلی مطالعة جزایر گرمایی شهری، محدود کرده مقابل، سنجنده‌هایی ASTER 90 متر شا...

شاخص سطح برگ نقش مهمی در تبادل ماده و انرژی بین زمین اتمسفر دارد. مانند سایر گیاهان، نیشکر معیار خوبی برای وضعیت سلامت رشد این محصول است که به‌دلیل آن صنایع غذایی انرژی، اهمیت اقتصادی بسیاری ماهوارة PRISMA سال 2019 پرتاب شد، یکی از جدیدترین منابع داده‌های ابرطیفی را فراهم کرده به‌ویژه، تهیة نقشة متغیرهای گیاهی کاربرد پژوهش حاضر، نوع جدیدی شبکه‌های عصبی مصنوعی، موسوم به شبکة تنظیم‌شده با روش بیز...

صخلملا Seasonal variation of zooplankton biomass has been carried out at two selected sites on Greater Zab River. Monthly samples of water were collected during period from January to December 2008. Some physico-chemical properties of water were studied including water temperature (from 8 to 30.5 C), hydrogen ion concentration (from 6.3 to 8), EC (from 255 to 821 μs.cm), turbidity (1085 NTU), d...
