conclusions in this study, topical application of sweet almond oil, which was not followed by any specific complications, was able to significantly reduce the uremic pruritus in hemodialysis patients; however, these findings require further studies. methods this study is a randomized clinical trial research. the study population consisted of patients referred in 2013 to the hd ward of shahid be...

background: colorectal cancer is a common and lethal disease with various distribution of incidence in different part of the world and it is known as the third most common cause of cancer death in the world. since several studies in the world represented different survival rates for colorectal cancer in this study we aimed to determine the survival of a group of iranian patients and some relate...

conclusions the most important factor in diagnosis is physician’s attention and clinical experience with this condition and using irlssg. results two major theories are developed regarding the pathophysiology of rls. the first one concerns central nervous system dopamine imbalance and the second one concerns intracellular iron dysregulation. the most common used pharmacologic agents in treatmen...

Two-stage chemical deposition (TSCD) technique is used to produce ZnO, Mn2O3 and NiO films on soda-lime glass (SL-G) from an aqueous solution of zinc, manganese and nickel complex, respectively. The TSCD method enables the deposition of metal oxide thin films with a thickness which can be controlled during the preparation procedure. The ZnO, Mn2O3 and NiO thin films were polycrystalline films w...

We study the impact of new information about food safety on subjects’ willingnessto-pay for food products, in an experimental setting. We elicit prices using either a second price auction or the Becker-DeGroot-Marschak procedure. There are three stages of bidding. In stage 1, subjects bid for products without any information. In stage 2, public information about health impact is provided. In st...

We calculate the finite temperature 2-loop effective potential in the MSSM with stop condensation, using a 3-dimensional effective theory. We find that in a part of the parameter space, a two-stage electroweak phase transition appears possible. The first stage would be the formation of a stop condensate, and the second stage is the transition to the standard electroweak minimum. The two-stage t...

BACKGROUND Core body temperature is used to stage and guide the management of hypothermic patients, however obtaining accurate measurements of core temperature is challenging, especially in the pre-hospital context. The Swiss staging model for hypothermia uses clinical indicators to stage hypothermia. The proposed temperature range for clinical stage 1 is <35-32 °C (95-90 °F), for stage 2, <32-...

A theory of a fast binary chemical reaction, A+B-->C, in a statistically stationary bounded chaotic flow at large Peclet number Pe and large Damköhler number Da is described. The first stage correspondent to formation of the developed lamellar structure in the bulk part of the flow is terminated by an exponential decay, proportional, variant exp((-lambdat) (where lambda is the Lyapunov exponent...

An active approach allowed undergraduates in Health Sciences to learn the dynamics of peer review at first hand. A four-stage process was used. In stage 1, students formed self-selected groups to explore specific issues. In stage 2, each group posted their interim reports online on a specific date. Each student read all the other reports and prepared detailed critiques. In stage 3, each report ...
