W e comment on a recent study by Dehghan et al. (1), who identified high serum uric acid as an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes in adults. We investigated serum levels of uric acid in a large cohort of obese adolescents (n 355; mean SD age 13.1 4.1 years and age range 10–22 years) and normal-weight control subjects (n 200) of similar age and sex distribution (2). Uric acid levels wer...

some thoughts and events are of a prominent position in human life as if they lead human to insistence and repetition by becoming a part of his concerns and at last they represent themselves as an individual and permanent feature in his conscious and unconscious. but permanent repetition of the mentioned imagery represents a subject  of whose reality there is no information available under norm...

Kako bi se uspešno dizajnirao prostor trećeg mesta, odnosno mesta okupljanja, trebalo razumeti socijalne i fizičke karakteristike koji poboljšavaju iskustvo korisnika, što predstavlja sam cilj ovog istraživanja. Boljim razumevanjem tih karakteristika koje doprinose pozitivnom doživljaju mogu stvoriti prostori promovišu udobnost, osećaj pripadnosti povezanost između ljudi samih prostora. Pored p...

Luskavica je kronična sistemska vnetna bolezen. Sistemsko vnetje pri luskavici vodi v številne pridružene bolezni, med katerimi so srčno-žilne bolezni glavni vzrok obolevnosti in umrljivosti. Ker zaenkrat presejanje na prisotnost dejavnikov tveganja za njihova obravnava bolnikih z luskavico še vedno ni zadostno, ključno ozaveščanje tako zdravnikov, ki bolnike zdravijo, kot tudi samih bolnikov l...

An analytic study was conducted on coupled partial differential equations. We formally derived new solitary wave solutions of generalized coupled system of Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) and KdV equations by using modified extended tanh method. The traveling wave solutions for each generalized coupled system of ZK and KdV equations are shown in form of periodic, dark, and bright solitary wave solution...
