abstract background: transcranial doppler ultrasonography results have not been previously studied in among iranian sickle cell anemia patients. the present study was performed to evaluate the pattern of intracranial flow velocities among iranian children with sickle cell anemia and the hematological parameters that can affect the time-averaged mean of maximum velocity in major intracranial art...

Atomic force microscopy is an extremely versatile technique, featuring atomic-scale imaging resolution, and also offering the possibility to probe interaction forces down few pN. Recently, this technique has been specialized study between single living cells, one on substrate, a second being adhered cantilever. Cell–cell spectroscopy offers unique tool investigate in fine detail intra-cellular ...

for intensive rearing of fish with minimal losses, it is necessary to be aware of health status of fish. blood variables are useful criteria for showing physiological disturbances in intensively farmed fishes and can provide important information for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. the aim of the present study was to show hematological parameters in haematological evaluation is gradually b...

Contact resistance among the components of a polymer exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has a crucial effect on cell performance. The geometry of the endplate plays an essential role in the contact pressure distribution over the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and the amount of contact resistance between plates. In this work, the effects of endplate geometry on the contact pressure distribut...

Neurogenic bladder (NGB) secondary to spinal cord injury (SCI) is accompanied with several complications such as urinary tract deterioration, urinary incontinence, and consequently lower quality of life (QoL), significant morbidities, and occasionally death. Current therapeutic methods have some side effects and there is no treatment for the upper urinary tract injuries. Stem cell therapy is a ...
