Among youth with diabetes mellitus, elevated blood pressure represents one of the most common comorbidities. Hence, exploring dietary factors that may help prevent or control hypertension in this population is of paramount importance. We investigated whether adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is associated with hypertension in youth with diabetes mellitus from ...

Lacustrine sediments have the potential to preserve paleoenvironmental proxies such as terrestrial plant waxes at high temporal resolution. The fidelity of wax records, however, can be up several thousand years older than corresponding sediment, based on compound-specific radiocarbon (14C) analysis. Unfortunately, factors controlling 14C age offsets between and are not well understood. aims thi...

in order to compare the agronomic characteristics of developed iranian spring wheat genotypes (selective cultivars from: endemic landraces of wheat, interal hybrid wheat and international centers) and also the identifying traits affecting grain production under different concentration of iron in the soil solution, a randomized complete block design with a split-plot arrangement with 30 wheat ge...

Objective: To retrospectively analyse the relative rate of complications caesarean sections performed in second stage, comparison to those done first stage labour, singleton uncomplicated pregnancies. A secondary objective was see whether a conscious attempt had been made for an instrumental delivery where it seemed feasible avert labour. Method: retrospective cohort study 2440 out total 5349 p...

For high-risk implantable MD, the process notified bodies are obliged to consult clinical Expert Panels (EP) that could decide proceed an extensive review of supporting data provided by manufacturer, also view ...

In aging humans, night levels of melatonin (MEL) decline progressively. Also thyroid and gonadal functions decline during aging while gonadotropins (luteotropic hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)) steadily increase. A desynchronization of pineal circadian cyclicity as expressed by the progressive decrease of the MEL night peak may be permissively linked to the onset and progres...

We present an investigation of new optical and ultraviolet spectra of the mass donor star in the massive X-ray binary LS 5039. The optical band spectral line strengths indicate that the atmosphere is N-rich and C-poor, and we classify the stellar spectrum as type ON6.5 V((f)). The N-strong and C-weak pattern is also found in the stellar wind P Cygni lines of N V λ1240 and C IV λ1550 (narrow abs...
