BACKGROUND Most women report negative experience about the symptoms of uterine leiomyoma (UL) in their lives, such as abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain. Many studies have been conducted about efficacy of UL treatment, but little research has been performed about womens health related quality of life (HRQL). METHODS This is a semi-structured, descriptive, observational, qualitative stu...

A preliminary investigation was conducted to assess lignocellulolytic efficiency of crude extracts from three white-rot fungi, Pleurotus florida PF05 (PF), Pleurotus sajor-caju PS07 (PS) and Pleurotus eryngii PE08 (PE). The activities of CMC-ase, xylanase, beta-glucosidase, beta-xylosidase, laccase and Mn peroxidase in extracts were evaluated. PF produced its highest CMC-ase (317 UL(-1)'), beta...

After vestibular labyrinth injury, behavioral deficits partially recover through the process of vestibular compensation. The present study was performed to improve our understanding of the physiology of the macaque vestibular system in the compensated state (>7 wk) after unilateral labyrinthectomy (UL). Three groups of vestibular nucleus neurons were included: pre-UL control neurons, neurons ip...

In an effort to simulate the compromised function and atrophy of lower limb muscles experienced by astronauts after spaceflight, 21 men and women age 30-56 yr were subjected to unilateral lower limb unloading for 5 wk. Whereas 10 of these subjects performed unilateral knee extensor resistance exercise (ULRE) two or three times weekly, 11 subjects (UL) refrained from training. The exercise regim...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to compare the density of gutta-percha root fillings obturated with the following techniques: cold lateral (CL) compaction, ultrasonic lateral (UL) compaction, and warm vertical (WV) compaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three extracted mandibular first molars, with two separate mesial canals in each, were selected. After instrumentation, the canals we...

In many core problems of signal processing and wireless communications, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions based optimization plays a fundamental role. Hence we investigate the KKT in context optimizing positive semidefinite matrix variables under nonconvex rank constraints. More explicitly, on properties conditions, optimize reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) aided multi-user multi-inpu...

Background: Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a pervasive carnivore species across most of Eurasia and parts North Africa. The current study was aimed to evaluate baseline values for selected haematological biochemical variables red in Ladakh, India. Methods: Blood samples were collected from female with drug combination Xylazine Ketamine. Selected assessed Result: total leucocytic count found as 6.37...

The analysis of DAR IMPATT diodes has been realized on basis of the precise drift-diffusion nonlinear model. The admittance characteristics of the DAR diode were analyzed in very wide frequency band from 30 up to 360 GHz. The energy characteristics have been optimized for the second high frequency band near the 220 GHz.
