OBJECTIVES To explore growth data (height-for-age, weight-for-age and BMI-for-age) of children living in poor socioeconomic conditions in rural areas of Chin State, Burma/Myanmar; and to compare these data with the growth and development z-score (GDZ) values for school-aged children and adolescents, provided by the WHO. SETTING A support and educational programme, run by the Swedish associati...

Numb chin syndrome reflects an abnormality in the mental nerve or inferior alveolar nerve, or occasionally in a nervous structure located higher up in the body. It manifests as objective and/or subjective sensory disorders in the distribution of the mental nerve or inferior alveolar nerve, represented primarily by half of the lower lip and chin. Although numb chin syndrome falls mainly within t...

CLINICAL HISTORY This 67-year-old man was seen in neurological consultation with a 10-day history of numbness and tingling of the right chin which was intermittent for the first 3 days and then constant for one week. The chin could also be intermittently painful with an intensity ranging from 7 to 9/10 especially with chewing. He had no headache, speech disturbance, dysphagia, visual disturbanc...

A malignant transformation or a tumor rupture is a rare complication of ovarian mature cystic teratoma (MCT). A tumor rupture in a malignant-transformed MCT has never been reported in the literature. We present the CT images of a 39-yearold woman showing a large, predominantly cystic mass in the lower abdomen, with fat-fluid-level ascites. A contrast-enhanced solid component, with regional disc...

BACKGROUND Aerosol masks were originally developed for adults and downsized for children. Overall fit to minimize dead space and a tight seal are problematic, because children's faces undergo rapid and marked topographic and internal anthropometric changes in their first few months/years of life. Facial three-dimensional (3D) anthropometric data were used to design an optimized pediatric mask. ...

زمینه و هدف: در حال حاضر شواهد فزاینده‌ای وجود دارد که نشان می‌دهد مسیرهای پیش‌التهابی توسط سلول‌های T (که IL-17 IL-22 را ترشح می‌کنند)، تعدیل می‌شوند، نقش مهمی کنترل سوخت‌وسازی دارند. هدف از پژوهش بررسی اثر تمرین هوازی همراه با مصرف عصارة آبی سیر بر بیان IL-17، مقاومت‌ به ‌انسولین موش‌های صحرایی دیابتی استرپتوزوتوسین است.مواد روش‌ها: این تحقیق تجربی،40 سر موش نر (سن 5 هفته وزن 24/15 ± 12/162 گ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Establishment of natural head position (NHP) in radiography or photography by estimation, which is called natural head orientation (NHO), has been recently advocated by various studies. This study aimed to determine the effect of chin position on the accuracy and reproducibility of NHO in a more realistic way. MATERIALS AND METHODS NHP-based digital photographs of 33 adult...

Four botulinumtoxin type A (BoNT/A) products, onabotulinumtoxinA (A/Ona), incobotulinumtoxinA (A/Inco), lanbotulinumtoxinA (A/Lan) and chinbotulinumtoxinA (A/Chin), are applied in the present study, among which A/Chin is newly produced. We aimed to compare the neurotoxic potency of these toxins by the gauge of muscle strength reduction. Furthermore, potential molecular and cellular mechanisms w...

The own-race bias (ORB) in face recognition can be interpreted as a failure to generalize expert perceptual encoding developed for own-race faces to other-race faces. Further, black participants appear to use different features to describe faces from those used by white participants (Shepherd & Deregowski, 1981). An experiment is reported where the size of the ORB was assessed using a standard ...

مگس مینوز سبزی و صیفی Liriomyza sativae Blanchard ، از مهم­ترین آفات ‌های گلخانه ای فضای باز، محسوب می شود. با توجه به توصیه کاربرد حشره­ کش تیوسیکلام جهت مدیریت آفت مزبور، در پژوهش حاضر، اثرات کشندگی زیرکشندگی(5/131:LC30، 1/87:LC20، 15/49:LC10 میلی گرم ماده موثره بر لیتر) حشره ­کش (اویسکت®SP50%) روی فراسنجه ­های زیستی این شرایط آزمایشگاهی مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. روش استفاده انجام آزمایش­ها غوط...
