The thermal unimolecular dissociation of CH3F was studied in shock waves by monitoring the UV absorption of a dissociation product identified as CH2F. It is concluded that, under conditions applied, the formation of this species corresponds to a minor, spin-allowed, dissociation channel of about 3% yield. Near to the low-pressure limit of the reaction, on the other hand, the energetically more ...

More recently medical chemistry research has been focused on proteins that drive and controlcell cycle progression. Among them, the cyclin dependent kinases (cdk’s) are a group ofserine/threonine kinases, which rule the transition between successive stages of the cell cycle. Theactivity of cdk’s is regulated by multiple mechanisms, including binding to cyclins, which is a broadclass of positive...

background and purpose: heart failure (hf) is a chronic, debilitating disease, and physical limitations and progressive symptoms of which associated with this condition can reduce quality of life (qol). patient education regarding heart hf is one of the main components of self-care. in this respect, peer education is significant in improving health and creating a learning environment. this stud...

Background Heart failure (HF) in infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is a crucial complication with different outcomes. Many biomarkers are used as prognostic indicators. Soluble ST2 (sST2) is one of these markers studied in adults with HF. We aimed to study the prognostic value of sST2 in CHD children with HF. Materials and Methods In current case-control study, thirty-six...

A "Qi" feeling (a kind of comfortable sense) during and after acupuncture is one of the important determinants to decide quantity (trial number) of acupuncture stimulation. It has been reported that various autonomic responses were evoked when patients felt "Qi" and when acupuncture stimulation had significant effects on EEGs. However, quantitative relationships among acupuncture stimulation, E...
