background: little is known about the effects of a low energy dense diet on weight maintenance and cardiovascular risks following a recent weight reduction. therefore, we assessed if weight maintenance, lipid profiles and glycemic control differ between low energy density diet and usual diet consumers following a recent weight reduction. method s: seventy patients with the history of weight red...

introduction: low back pain (lbp) is the most common musculoskeletal disease. monochromatic infrared photo energy (mipe) and low level laser therapy (lllt) are light modalities used to reduce pain and increase blood flow. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of the mipe and lllt in reducing functional disability and pain as well as improving lumbar range of motion (rom) in patients ...

radiation enhanced diffusion at the surface of metals has been observed and studied for low-energy nitrogen ions at the surface of copper. the displacement of the target atoms during irradiation creates vacancies and other defects near the surface, thus enhancing the diffusion of implanted materials toward the surface and also into the solid. the mechanism has been studied here by a special met...

background: the performance and parasitology of semi-intensively managed west african dwarf (wad) lambs were evaluated following exposure to gastrointestinal helminth infected paddock and varied protein-energy feeds. methods: twenty four lambs obtained from the department of animal breeding and genetics and brought to directorate of university farm (dufarm) of federal university of agriculture ...

introduction: researchers have long been interested in the effects of low intensity (less than 500 microtesla) and extremely low frequency magnetic fields (elf-mf, less than 300 hz) on human’s brain activity. in this study, our purpose was to analyze the effect of local magnetic field pulses around brain regions cz, c3, c4 on human electroencephalogram (eeg) and induction of resonance effect fo...
