Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease involving abnormal myocardium thickening. HCM can lead to dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOT) that cause significant heart failure symptoms. A novel approach alleviate this LVOT involves atrioventricular node (AVN) ablation and right (RV) apical pacing along with radiofrequency (RF) an open irrigated catheter the thick...

سن گلخوار یونجه، Lygus rugulipennis Poppius (Hemiptera: Miridae)، یکی از آفات مهم یونجه در بسیاری نقاط جهان می‌باشد. زیست‌شناسی آزمایشگاهی و پراسنجه‌های جدول زندگی این آفت پنج دمای 25، 5/27، 30، 5/32 35 درجه سلسیوس، رطوبت نسبی 5 ±60 درصد دوره نوری 16 ساعت روشنایی 8 تاریکی مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. قادر به نشوونما سلسیوس نبود. طولانی‌ترین کوتاه‌ترین طول پورگی به‌ترتیب 5/27 (81/13 روز) (08/8 به‌دست آ...

OBJECTIVE Medical treatments take place in social contexts; however, little research has investigated how social modelling might influence treatment outcomes. This experimental pilot study investigated social modelling of treatment effectiveness and placebo treatment outcomes. DESIGN Fifty-nine participants took part in the study, ostensibly examining the use of beta-blockers (actually placeb...

In the framework of a wide foresight process, launched by the Standing Committee on Agricultural Research (SCAR) and aiming to identify possible scenarios for European agriculture in a long-term perspective, the European Commission (DG RTD-E4) established a “3rd Foresight Expert Group” that conducted a scanning and monitoring exercise of recent relevant foresight activities undertaken by nation...

We prove that: • If there is a model of I∆0 + ¬exp with cofinal Σ1-definable elements and a Σ1 truth definition for Σ1 sentences, then I∆0 + ¬exp + ¬BΣ1 is consistent, • there is a model of I∆0 + Ω1 + ¬exp with cofinal Σ1-definable elements, both a Σ2 and a Π2 truth definition for Σ1 sentences, and for each n ≥ 2, a Σn truth definition for Σn sentences. The latter result is obtained by construc...

The CAHM gene (Colorectal Adenocarcinoma HyperMethylated), previously LOC100526820, is located on chromosome 6, hg19 chr6:163 834 097-163 834 982. It lacks introns, encodes a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and is located adjacent to the gene QKI, which encodes an RNA binding protein. Deep bisulphite sequencing of ten colorectal cancer (CRC) and matched normal tissues demonstrated frequent hyperme...

OBJECTIVE Despite the rapid industrialisation and urbanisation over the past 30 years, agriculture is one of the largest economic sectors in China and the unregulated use of pesticides result in extensive pesticide poisoning. The objective of this study was to analyse pesticide poisoning cases registration received by Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, China. DESIG...

BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility. Whereas celiac disease (CD) is present in ~1% of individuals in Western Europe, the prevalence in women undergoing investigation for infertility is often >2%. Still, the relationship between CD and endometriosis is unclear. METHODS We identified 11 097 women with CD (Marsh 3: villous atrophy) through biopsy data from all 28 pathology ...
