This paper presents the Navigation Maps Modeling approach (NMM), which provides platform independent models for characterizing navigation maps of web applications. The NMM approach is conceived to obtain a trade off between high and low-level design notations. As high-level design notations, NMM models permit architectural details that may hinder the overall understanding of the web application...

introduction: low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders,which is prevalent among the public population. depending on the severity of the patients’ pain, different treatments are selected for them. few studies have addressed, so far, the therapeutic effects of laser in such pains and different results have been published in this regard. the aim of this study is to investi...

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 ...

objective: low-level laser therapy (lllt) has been increasingly in use over the last few decades in both medicine and dentistry. it has been suggested that lllt may be helpful in pulpal wound healing following pulp exposure. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of lllt and formocresol (fc) application in healing of remaining pulp following pulp amputation in primary molars...

in russia (formerly ussr) study of biomodulation action (bma) mechanisms of low-intensity laser irradiation (lili) began in 1964, immediately after the development of lasers. during the period from 1965 to 1972 several dozens of scientific conferences were held, hundreds of studies were published. generally, secondary mechanisms and results of lili effect on patients with various diseases were ...

introduction: the american academy of orofacial pain defined temporomandibular disorders (tmds) as”a collective term that embraces a number of clinical problems that involve the masticatory muscles, the tmj (temporomandibular joint), and the associated structures”. pain and dysfunctional symptoms or signs such as limitations in opening, asymmetric jaw movements and tmj sounds are the most commo...

introduction: dentin hypersensitivity is one of the most common complications that affect patients after periodontal therapy. recently low level laser therapy has been introduced as a new treatment modality and has produced beneficial results. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low level laser therapy toothbrushes in reduction of dentin hypersensitivity. methods: in this pil...

background postoperative pain is a common complication that can lead to serious morbidities and delayed recovery. objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy on acute pain after tibial fracture surgery. patients and methods in this randomized clinical trial, 54 patients who were candidate for tibial fracture surgery were allocated randomly to two gr...

the key role of chemokine receptor cxcr4 in the maintenance of stemness property of stem cells has been shown recently. the low level laser irradiation (llli) is being used currently in a wide variety of clinical cases as a therapeutic tool for wound healing, relieving pain and destroying tumor cells. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of llli mimicking low level laser therapy (ll...

introduction : surgical removal of third molar is one of the most common surgical procedures in oral surgery and is often associated with complications such as pain, swelling and trismus. the main purpose of the study was to assess  the  therapeutic  effect  of  low  level  laser  (lll)  irradiation  on postoperative edema and wound healing compared to routine postoperative management after thi...
