objective head injury (hi) is the leading cause of mortality and life-long disability for infants. infants have different anatomical and pathophysiological brain structures from other age groups. this study surveys infant hi patients admitted to shahid beheshti hospital in kashan, iran from 2004–2010 to identify the causes of his in infants. materials and methods in this retrospective study, al...

ocular trauma is an important cause of ocular morbidity in children. at present only limited studies regarding distribution of ocular trauma exist in iran. this study was performed to define epidemiologic characteristics and clinical profile of ocular trauma in children and to discuss management and final outcomes of such injuries. the files of 60 patients aged 16 years or younger who had been ...

This paper focuses on a design case study of a natural hand gesture system for users with intact motion control of the metacarpophalangeal joint and thumb basal joint of the hand after brachial plexus injuries. The lexicon of hand gestures had eight entries and was demonstrated to be natural and ergonomic with the limited hand motions. A cooperative multi-cue system was proposed for the key han...

Non-compressible hemorrhage is the most common preventable cause of death on battlefield and in civilian traumatic injuries. We report the use of microsecond pulses of electric current to induce rapid constriction in femoral and mesenteric arteries and veins in rats. Electrically-induced vasoconstriction could be induced in seconds while blood vessels dilated back to their original size within ...

in this paper, the effect of electric field on two-dimensional low reynolds air flow around an airfoil and variation of the forces acting on the airfoil is numerically investigated. the electric current and poisson’s equations are solved and the outcome is considered as a source term in the momentum equations. the energy equation is not considered due to its weak effect on the phenomena. the fi...

Using an Electric Differential (ED) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. Despite its reported successes and advantages, the ED has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. In this paper, an electric differenti...

In the course of rhabdomyolysis, breakdown and necrosis muscle fibres occur, toxic content cells leaks into systemic circulation. adult patients, causes rhabdomyolysis may include injuries, crushing as a result accidents, prolonged immobilization, high voltage electric shock; while in children, particular youngest viral infections constitute most common cause. Based on analysis collected litera...
