Abstract X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions from solar flares rapidly change the physical composition of Earth’s thermosphere ionosphere, thereby causing space weather phenomena such as communication failures. Numerous empirical models have been developed to estimate effects flare on upper atmosphere. We verified reproduction emission spectra using a one-dimensional hydrodynamic cal...

introduction:amphetamines are central nervous system (cns) stimulant substances and amphetamine abuse is considered a growing problem in our country. previous studies revealed destructive effects of amphetamines on metabolism, perfusion and structure of brain. the aim of current study was evaluating regional cerebral blood flow (rcbf) disturbances in methamphetamine (ma) abusers using brain per...

BACKGROUND Henoch-Schönlein vasculitis is the most common systemic vasculitis in children. Arthritis or arthralgia occurs in 80 % of patients. We believe this to be the first case report to describe the finding of polyarthritis in a fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan in a patient with Henoch-Schönlein vasculitis without clinical signs of arthritis. CASE PRES...
