Aim: Free radical formation increases due to hyperglycemia occurring in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM), and as a result, oxidative stress occurs. Hyperglycemia-mediated plays an important role diabetic nephropathy. The antihyperglycemic, antioxidative, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory effects ellagic acid (EA) have been demonstrated by many studies. In this study, it was aimed demo...

This paper presents a new direct maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with reference voltage (Vref) based on the metaheuristic earthquake algorithm (EA) where optimization variable is Vref for hard-switching converters. The efficiency and performance of EA-MPPT-Vref compared perturb-and-observe (P&O) counterpart technique due to fact that it widely used commercial products. Static dynamic re...

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is becoming an increasingly mature field of work, but many large organizations still struggle with implementing an integral and truly effective EA function. The literature provides a fragmented picture of the EA function, describing the various separate elements that make up the total package of activities, resources, skills, and competences of the EA delivery funct...

Hybridization in context to Evolutionary Computation (EC) aims at combining the operators and methodologies from different EC paradigms to form a single algorithm that may enjoy a statistically superior performance on a wide variety of optimization problems. In this article we propose an efficient hybrid evolutionary algorithm that embeds the difference vector-based mutation scheme, the crossov...

Enterprise architecture (EA) management has become an intensively discussed approach to manage enterprise transformations. Despite the popularity and potential of EA, both researchers and practitioners lament a lack of knowledge about the realization of benefits from EA. To determine the benefits from EA, we explore the various dimensions of EA benefit realization and report on the development ...

Background: Inguinal herniorrhaphy is among the most common type of surgeries in adults. One of the important side effects of herniorrhaphy is post-operative urinary retention (UR). The incidence of urinary retention after herniorrhaphy may vary depending on the method of anesthesia. Methods: This is a double blind randomized clinical trial conducted on 80 patients undergoing inguinal hernia re...

Introduction: Esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is defined as a congenital malformation characterized with the interruption or obstruction of esophagus. Affected neonates may present with cyanosis during breast feeding, sialorrhea, coughing and difficulty in respiration. The defect should be corrected by surgery; otherwise, the condition ca...

Objective. To explore the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 (EA-ST36) and at Ashi acupoints (EA-Ashi) on skeletal muscle repair. Methods. Seventy-five rabbits were randomly divided into five groups: normal, contusion, EA-Ashi, EA-ST36, and EA at Ashi acupoints and ST36 (EA-AS). EA (0.4 mA, 2 Hz, 15 min) was applied after an acute gastrocnemius contusion. The morphology of myofibers and...

Clinical and research evidence has shown that electroacupuncture (EA) promotes recovery of motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the "efficacy span" of EA treatment, especially the long-term effect of EA that is thought to last after the cessation of EA treatment, has not been investigated. The present study thus investigated and compared the effect of EA during and...
