background the nasal septal deviation (nsd) is one of the major causes of nasal obstruction. this condition increases upper airway resistance. in this study we evaluated the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mpap) in patients with markedly deviated septum. methods sixty two patients with nsd (age range: 26-45 years, 34 men and 28 women) were included in the study. mean pulmonary artery pressure w...

investigating the frequency of traumatic nasal bone fracture in patients with and without old septal deviation and possible deviation. prospective study of 105 patients with nose trauma conducted and cases were divided into two groups: a study group 35 patients with nasal fracture and a control group of 70 patients without nasal fracture. diagnosis of septal condition was made by anterior rhino...

Features of longitudinal left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation in female patients reproductive age with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD) have not been specifically studied before. Aim. To study the features LV using speckle tracking echocardiography UCTD. Material and Methods. A noninvasive assessment systolic direction was performed 20 young adult UCTD (the average 23...

home uterine activity monitoring (huam) has demonstrated to be of great value for preventing preterm labor in recent years. in this research, a low cost monitoring device for non-invasive monitoring of the uterine activity in pregnant women is presented. the new device has been designed based on an inductive colpitz oscillator and vertical displacement of a ferrite core in a coil. the resulting...

Rapid eye movement sleep in males is characterized by penile erection along with EEG desynchronization, muscle atonia, ponto-geniculo-occipital waves, and rapid eye movements (REM). The central neural mechanisms regulating sleep related erections (SREs) are not known. Recently, the lateral preoptic area has been shown to contribute in sleep-related erectile mechanisms. The present study was con...
