In this contribution dedicated to kidney stones containing Whitlockite (Wk), we addressed three questions, namely, the presence of iron in Wk, relationship between bacterial imprints and finally crystal size Wk-bearing infection. The complete dataset indicates that is not present our Wk stoichiometry. We also note for with a high, but sometimes low content, Wk. Finally, propose FE-SEM as diagno...

using a generalized spherical mean operator, we obtain the generalizationof titchmarsh's theorem for the dunkl transform for functions satisfyingthe lipschitz condition in l2(rd;wk), where wk is a weight function invariantunder the action of an associated reection groups.

Abstract Background and Aims Most patients start maintenance haemodialysis (HD) with a fixed dose of 3 HD sessions per week (3HD/Wk), regardless their residual kidney function (RKF). This intense schedule is considered the “standard” or “conventional” modality (cHD). It widely accepted, no randomised controlled trial (RCT) has examined whether other less frequent schedules are inappropriate har...

purpose: to determine the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (rop) and to evaluate the possible neonatal risk factors for rop among premature infants referred to farabi eye hospital during 2000-2002. methods: newborn infants with gestational age (ga) £ 37 wk or birth weight (bw) £ 2500 g were included. the first eye examination was performed 4-9 weeks after birth. data on possible risk fac...

Objective: Walnut (Juglans Regia) is a domestic fruit of Iran. Walnut kernel (WK) has many beneficial constituents such as unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E. Scientific studies have shown that fatty acids and vitamin E can modulate learning and memory processes. The aim of the present work was to study effects of walnut consumption by mothers during pregnancy and lactation on...

Pathological cardiac hypertrophy was produced by partial abdominal aortic constriction (PAAC) for 4 wk, while physiological cardiac hypertrophy was produced by chronic swimming training (CST) for 8 wk in rats. Pentoxifylline (30 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg i.p., day-1) treatment was started three days before PAAC and CST and it was continued for 4 wk in PAAC and 8 wk in CST experimental model. The left ve...

Artificial neural networks (ANN) have shown to be a powerful tool for system modeling in a wide range of applications. The focus of this study is on neural network applications to data analysis in egg production. An ANN model with two hidden layers, trained with a back propagation algorithm, successfully learned the relationship between the input (age of hen) and output (egg production) variabl...

to determine the effect of hen age and storage condition on egg quality, fresh eggs were sampled from two commercial flocks of white leghorn hens at 28 and 68 weeks of age. half of sampled eggs from each flock were stored at 6°c and the other half was stored at room temperature. fifteen eggs were randomly sampled from each treatment following collection and at 5-day intervals to 30 days of stor...
