Background: Determination of gestational age is an important step pregnancy management and foetal development evaluation in obstetrics. Any error this estimation results prematurity or post maturity case if the expected date delivery not known, there high chance perinatal mortality near outcome. Hence it achieving uneventful gestation to have a sensitive, specific independent obstetric biometri...

Background: Recent research has focused on the effects of different types strength training performance and body profile adolescent athletes. However, short-term plyometric jump rope athletic in basketball players are a matter curiosity. Objectives: The aim this study was to examine players. Methods: Twenty-two aged 13 - 15 were randomly divided into two groups as (n = 11) group 11). All partic...

OBJECTIVE The association between rarely used anthropometric measurements (e.g., mid-upper arm, forearm, and calf circumference) and metabolic syndrome has not been proven. The aim of this study was to assess whether mid-upper arm, forearm, calf, and waist circumferences, as well as waist/height ratio and waist-to-hip ratio, were associated with metabolic syndrome. METHODS We enrolled 387 sub...

Introduction: Head circumference (HC) measurement is one of the important parameter for diagnosis of neurological, developmental disorders and dysmorphic syndromes. Recognition of different disorders requires an understanding of normal variation for HC size, in particular, in infancy period with most rapid growth of the brain. Because of international and interracial standard chart differences ...

we have produced a spectrum of limb defects in developing mouse embryos by exposing the mother to smoke from cigarettes with different nicotine concentrations, ethanol, and a combination of ethanol and cigarette smoke. the critical time of exposure was determined to be during day 10 of gestation (vaginal plug=day 0). this time is prior to the critical events which occur between the apical ectod...

background: obesity is an important and life-threatening disease, associated with different chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. we sought to address the paucity of information on the trends of anthropometric indices such as weight, waist circumference, and body mass index in the adult population of iran. methods: we drew upon data from the first non-co...

QUESTION Does functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling increase urine output and decrease lower limb swelling and spasticity in people with recent spinal cord injury? DESIGN Randomised cross-over trial. PARTICIPANTS Fourteen participants with a recent motor complete spinal cord injury were consecutively recruited from two spinal cord injury units in Sydney. INTERVENTION Participant...

purpose: microgravity causes major changes in various systems of the body in space, such as shift in cerebrospinal fluid, decreased red blood cells count, and electrolyte loss. these complications are very important in space and we should find new approaches to prevent the side effects of microgravity in astronauts. materials and methods: this experimental study was conducted on 21 adult male r...
