Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background In advanced stages dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), both atrial function and left ventricle (LV) myocardial mechanics are blunted. Left reservoir strain (LASr) is a sensitive parameter for (LA) evaluation. Our study aimed to find correlation between LASr depression rotational parameters damage in patients with DCM, using 4...

OBJECTIVE To report our experience in the management of testicular torsion with emphasis on seasonal variation, salvage rate and the status of the torted testis 3-6 months after orchidopexy. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Seventy-five patients with a presumptive diagnosis of testicular torsion, who presented to our hospital between January 1999 and December 2002, were included in the study. Following s...

This paper, prepared for the 2001 Park City Research Program in Supergeometry, is an exposition of [4]. References to relevant earlier papers can be found in the bibliography of [4]. As explained in Jim Gates’ lectures, an essential ingredient of the superspace formulation of supergravity is a nonzero torsion tensor. Furthermore, there are torsion constraints in the sense that only certain comp...

AIM The present study was conducted on advanced pregnant buffaloes suffering from uterine torsion to assess the status of fetus and uterus by transabdominal ultrasonography, and the findings were compared with normal advanced pregnant buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted on 20 clinical cases of uterine torsion and 20 normal advanced pregnant buffaloes (control group). The ...

By Mazur's Torsion Theorem, there are fourteen possibilities for the non-trivial torsion subgroup $T$ of a rational elliptic curve. For each $T$, such that $E$ may have additive reduction at prime $p$, we consider parameterized family $E_T$ curves with property they parameterize all $E/\mathbb{Q}$ which contain in their subgroup. Using these families, explicitly classify Kodaira-N\'{e}ron type,...

In this study, AZ91 magnesium alloy rods were used to investigate the effects of torsion deformation on microstructure and subsequent aging behavior. Extruded AZ91 rod has a uniform microstructure and typical fiber texture. Torsion deformation can generate a gradient microstructure on the cross-section of the rod. After torsion, from the center to the edge in the cross-section of the rod, both ...

OBJECTIVES Misdiagnosing ovarian torsion is now suggested as an important issue in clinical setting. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of sonography for ovarian torsion. Methods : In this study 323 women with acute pelvic pain with highly suspected ovarian torsion signs and symptoms attending Imam Reza Medical Center in Kermanshah between 2011 through 2012 were incl...

Torsion giant impedance ~TGI! ratio, (DZ/Z)j , has been measured in as-cast and annealed ~Co0.94Fe0.06)72.5B15Si12.5 amorphous wire. Two-step current annealing has been employed: pre-annealing ~550 mA, 2 min! plus current annealing under torsion stress ~33 p rad/m, 450 mA, up to tann5105 min!. Pre-annealing results in a drastic increase of (DZ/Z)j ~from 155% to 260%! and decrease of the asymmet...

Twist knots form a family of special two–bridge knots which include the trefoil knot and the figure eight knot. The knot group of a two–bridge knot has a particularly nice presentation with only two generators and a single relation. One could find our interest in this family of knots in the following facts: first, twist knots except the trefoil knot are hyperbolic; and second, twist knots are n...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of honokiol on experimental ischemia/reperfusion injury of rat ovary. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 female Wistar albino rats were used in this study. The rats were divided into five groups as follows: sham (Group I), torsion (Group II), torsion + detorsion (Group III), torsion + detorsion + saline (Group IV), and to...
