Fasting is one of Islamic Five Pillars and it is an Islamic obligations. Even though fasting during Ramadan month is an obligatory, if this obligatory has dangerous effects on the human health, it is forbidden. In On the other hand, atypical levels of thyroid hormones can create serious problems for human body and normal range of these hormones is indicative of good thyroid function. The presen...

 Abstract Background: Pulmonary involvement in ulcerative colitis (UC) is thought to be rare. There is not a definite document about the question that "Is the lung a target organ in inflammatory bowel disease?" The aim of the present study is to compare lung function between cases with UC and healthy controls. This study will also be of interest about searching the outbreak of pulmonary functio...

It is necessary for particle simulation of dense plasmas to calculate precisely the Coulomb interaction among close and distant particles. It is, however, very expensive to calculate forces among all particles. In the particle-particle particle-mesh (PPPM) method originated by Hockney and Eastwood [1], the Coulomb forces among close particles are directly summed up in the P-P method, while the ...

endoplasmic reticulum has a critical role in the synthesis and folding of secretory and membrane proteins. high accumulation of proteins in er activates the unfolded protein response and glucose regulated protein 78 or gpr78 plays an essential role in this pathway.  unfolded protein response is activated in cancerous cells due to their adverse condition to survive and it has been shown that grp...

the modeling investigation in this paper discusses the system level effects of a toxicant on a three species food chain system. in the models, we have assumed that the presence of top predator reduces the predatory ability of the intermediate predator. the stability analysis of the models is carried out and the sufficient conditions for the existence and extinction of the populations under the ...

the relation between microchimerism and allograft tolerance is still a mystery. in this study we determined the presence of peripheral blood microchimerism (pbmc) in female renal transplant recipients from living male donors with second round polymerase chain reaction (pcr). second round pcr was used to find y chromocome products. the degree of pbmc in renal transplant recipinents must be below...

in this paper, the effect of size on melting temperature of metallic nanoparticles (au, pb and bi) is theoretically simulated and explained. in this regard, the cause of difference in various experimental data is introduced, which is the difference between nanoparticles’ grain gaussian distribution. this volume-depended model with the help of the gaussian distribution can describe the relation ...

gabapentin (gpn) is a new antiepileptic agent currently in used as add-on therapy in adult patients suffering from partial seizures. the extent of liver damage at different dosage and long term treatment with gpn is not yet clear. therefore this study was undertaken to find out the possibility of liver damage by this drug. adult male (wistar) rats of 180-220 g were administered intraperitoneall...

the effectiveness of an enzymatic cocktail, collagenase and trypsin, on the absorptive function of ilealsegment was studied to evaluate the changes within groups after performing ileocystoplasty in an animalmodel. twenty-one female mixed-bred persian dogs were randomized into 7 groups. the groups included: 1) negative control group (ncg) in which no ileocystoplasty was performed (n = 3); 2) pos...
