Many people living in developing countries still prefer to sit on the carpet or uncarpeted floor, and many times they sit in a cross legged position. Continuous rubbing and friction of the ankles over the carpet or the plain hard surface may cause callosity of the ankles. This can cause a cosmetic problem. We describe a case series of ankle hyperkeratosis referred to our outpatient clinic in Ah...

in this paper, the artificial neural network (ann) approach is applied for forecasting groundwater level fluctuation in aghili plain,southwest iran. an optimal design is completed for the two hidden layers with four different algorithms: gradient descent withmomentum (gdm), levenberg marquardt (lm), resilient back propagation (rp), and scaled conjugate gradient (scg). rain,evaporation, relative...

The Firuzabad Plain in south Fars (Iran) is well known due to the circular city of Ardashir-Xurra, first Sasanian (220 – 651 CE) capital, built by Ardashir Papakan around 220 CE, but its landscape evolution not. a relatively large and well-watered intermediate plain Zagros folded belt, about 80 km Shiraz. archaeological record suggests thin sporadic prehistoric occupation compared dense planned...

drought stress is one of the serious problems that restricted agronomic plant production worldwide. inmolecular level, the harmful effect of drought stress is mostly caused by producing of large amount ofreactive oxygen species (ros). catalase and metallothionein genes have a crucial role to mope the hydrogenperoxide (h2o2) resulting reducing oxidative damage. in this research the gene expressi...

the aim of this study is to assess the concentration of nitrate in groundwater resources of the kordkandi-duzduzan plain and to evaluate the vulnerability of the groundwater using avi and gods methods. kordkandi-duzduzan plain is located in east azarbaijan province in the northwest of iran, which groundwater is important for drinking and agriculture in the region due to scarcity of suitable sur...

Tramadol is a novel centrally acting opioid analgesic used for the treatment of mild to severe pain. This drug is the most prescribed opioid worldwide. It has been approved as an analgesic in Iran since 2002. Unfortunately Tramadol dependency has become very common in Iran in various age groups and genders but in particular is abused among the young generation. Overdose of Tramadol is a well-kn...
