introduction: based on previous studies, cardiovascular diseases, traffic accidents, traumas and cancers are the most important etiology of mortalities in emergency departments (ed). however, contradictory findings have been reported in relation to mortality in emergency departments. therefore, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of clinical factors in mortality among patients...

in the present study, a field study was performed on some herbaceous plants growing in thesoutheast of ahvaz, where some metal producing industries are active. the aim of this studywas to investigate and compare manganese (mn) and zinc (zn) accumulation in seven dominantherbaceous plants in this area. plant samples were collected randomly. associated soils weresampled from the same sites next t...

The aim of this paper is the analytical solutions the family of rst-order nonlinear stochastic differentialequations. We dene an integrating factor for the large class of special nonlinear stochasticdierential equations. With multiply both sides with the integrating factor, we introduce a deterministicdierential equation. The results showed the accuracy of the present work.

Inflammatory condition is the consequence of defensive mechanism of immune system against viral and bacterial infection, tissue injury, UV radiation, stress and etc. Persistently acute inflammation leads to chronic phase which is characterized by production of pro-inflammatory mediators from T cells. These molecules (e.g. IL-6, TNF-&alpha, IL-1&beta and IL-17) are mostly pleiotropic cytokines i...

gravity drainage is one of the important recovery mechanisms in fractured carbonate and conventional reservoirs. it occurs due to density difference between the gas in fracture and the oil in matrix as well as in conventional tilted reservoirs. oil phase will form films which are produced under gravity forces (film flow). many gas injection experiments have been done on laboratory scales with d...

objective: acetaminophen (apap) overdose causes acute liver injuries. studies show that stem cell factor (scf) and its receptor, c-kit, enhance liver recovery from apap-induced injuries in mice. in this study we explore the effect of scf on activity of glutathione s-transferase (gsts) enzymes which are considered to be important in apap metabolism. methods: we divided 45 balb/c mice into three...
