Scleroderma renal crisis has been documented as the presenting manifestation of systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma in pregnancy only once in the literature. Unfortunately, since scleroderma renal crisis in sine scleroderma pregnant patients is so rare, that patient expired. We present a case of a sine scleroderma pregnant patient with an initial manifestation of scleroderma renal crisis surviv...

background: the traditional cyclone has been developed for the removal of airborne silica particles from local exhaust ventilation (lev). the objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of velocity and particles load on efficiency of cyclone in the stone crushing units at azendarian area. methods: after the designing and installing the traditional cyclone, downstream and upstream sam...

In this paper, three solutions for scheduling problem of the Single-Load and Multi-Load Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in Container Terminals are proposed. The problem is formulated as Constraint Satisfaction and Optimization. When capacity of the vehicles is one container, the problem is a minimum cost flow model. This model is solved by the highest performance Algorithm, i.e. Network Simple...

The experience in treatment of 3 patients with rupture Achilles tendon due to steroid injections connected achillodynia or tendoperiosteopathy calcaneal tuber is presented. There 3.5% such pathology out all rupture. In those the was shown be caused by insignificant physical load (quick walking, slight jump). Postoperatively had complications form diastasis cutaneous wound margins. one patient n...

Cases of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) of T phenotype are sparse in the setting of HIV patients. We report herein a case of T-ALCL, with an advanced stage, pulmonary involvement, high HIV viral load, and low CD4 level. Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein expression was negative. Anthracyclin-based chemotherapy was unsuccessful. The literature review was performed focusing on incide...

researchers argue with this view indicating that models and modeling do not contribute to understanding complexity concepts, since these increases the cognitive load on students. This study investigates the effect of different modes of involvement in exploring scientific phenomena using a computer agent-based modeling tool, on students' understanding of complexity concepts. Quantitative and qua...

A case of abscess resulting from Mycobacterium kansasii, in the left thigh of a 53-year-old woman infected with the Human Immunodeficiency virus, is reported. Curiously, there was no pulmonary or systemic involvement as is usual with these Mycobacterium infections. The patient had CD4 T lymphocyte count of 257 cells/µL and a viral load of 60,154 copies. Despite presenting a relatively preserved...

The musculoskeletal system functions because of the precise and coordinated assembly of its components, namely bones and joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. This coordination requires cross-talk between the tissues, which is mediated by various molecular and mechanical cues. In this review, we summarize the progress that has been made in understanding the involvement of mechanical loads exe...
