objective: diabetic nephropathy is a major diabetes complication. arterial resistance index (ri) may predict deterioration in kidney function. this study was designed to compare renal arterial ri in different stages of renal function according to glomerular filtration rate (gfr), serum creatinine level and proteinuria. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study on 81 diabetic patients in...

In this study, we describe the seed imbibition of 14 different species, from crop, forest, and native species potentially able to recover landscapes form sustainable green cities. Seed is a fundamental physical physiological process for reactivating metabolism hydrolytic enzymes that will provide germination. We verified water more closely governed by differences between osmotic potential (Ψw) ...

background: in this study, we aimed to investigate the ability of transvaginal doppler ultrasonography in predicting in vitro fertilization (ivf) outcome in women undergoing this procedure. materials and methods: in this prospective observational study, 65 infertile women underwent ivf procedure in isfahan, during 2013-2014, were studied. the pulsatility index (pi), resistive index (ri) and pea...

since anethum graveolens (dill) has phytoestrogenic compounds and it is proven that estrogens exert beneficial effects on cognition; the aim of this study was to understand if this plant can improve memory performance. male balb/c mice weighing 25-30 g were used in this study and memory was assessed by the novel object recognition task. in this method, the difference in the exploration time bet...

Las condiciones de almacenamiento y la aplicación cera que influyen en el estatus hídrico calidad poscosecha frutos pepino (Cucumis sativus L.) cv. Conquistador, se investigaron para generar modelos empíricos permitan predecir vida anaquel. Los almacenaron bajo seis diferentes déficit presión vapor (DPV desde 0.19 hasta 1.26 kPa). Se midieron pérdidas peso diaria acumulativa, firmeza, potencial...

background: doppler indices of umbilical artery are used as indicator of fetal well being. objective: to compare doppler parameters of umbilical artery including pulsatility index (pi) and resistance index (ri) in patients with preeclampsia with those of normal pregnancies and to evaluate the diagnostic characteristics of these parameters in preeclampsia. materials and methods: in a case contro...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of intramuscular injection of medetomidine on intra-renal arteriesresistive and pulsatility indices by duplex Doppler ultrasonographyin clinically normal adult domestic shorthair cats. For this purpose, twenty-six neutered adult healthy domestic shorthair cats (13 females and 13 males) were evaluated. B-mode, color Doppler and pulsed wave Doppl...
