BACKGROUND Doppler flow velocity waveform analysis of fetal vessels is one of the main methods for evaluating fetus health before labor. Doppler waves of middle cerebral artery (MCA) can predict most of the at risk fetuses in high risk pregnancies. In this study, we tried to obtain normal values and their nomograms during pregnancy for Doppler flow velocity indices of MCA in 20-40 weeks of norm...

Present study was conducted with the objectives of determining the renal vascular resistance in dogs with diabetes mellitus and to study the correlation between the indices of renovascular resistance with glycemic status, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and proteinuria in dogs with diabetes mellitus. This study was conducted on seventeen diabetic dogs and ten apparently healthy dogs. Increa...

Background Early prediction of adverse neonatal outcome would be possible by Doppler impedance indices of middle cerebral artery (MCA), umbilical artery (UmA), and descending aortal artery (AO) that result in decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality rate. The aim of the present study was a determination of optimal value for the ratio of MCA to descending aorta blood flow (MCA/AO) impedance ind...

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph. In this paper, Szeged dimension and PI$_v$ dimension of graph $G$ are introduced. It is proved that if $G$ is a graph of Szeged dimension $1$ then line graph of $G$ is 2-connected. The dimensions of five composite graphs: sum, corona, composition, disjunction and symmetric difference with strongly regular components is computed. Also explicit formulas of Sze...

The vertex Padmakar-Ivan (PIv) index of a graph G was introduced as the sum over all edges e = uv of G of the number of vertices which are not equidistant to the vertices u and v. In this paper we provide an analogue to the results of T. Mansour and M. Schork [The PI index of bridge and chain graphs, MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 61 (2009) 723-734]. Two efficient formulas for calculating th...

OBJECTIVE To construct monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) and dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin reference ranges for umbilical artery (UA) pulsatility index (PI), UA resistance index (RI), fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) PI and peak systolic velocity (PSV) and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) from 24 weeks' to 38 weeks' gestation and compare these with published normal values for singleton pregnan...

The Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index of a graph G is the sum over all edges uv of G of the number of edges which are not equidistant from u and v. In this paper, the notion of vertex PI index of a graph is introduced. We apply this notion to compute an exact expression for the PI index of Cartesian product of graphs. This extends a result by Klavzar [On the PI index: PI-partitions and Cartesian product...

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set and edge set . The function which assigns to each pair of vertices in , the length of minimal path from to , is called the distance function between two vertices. The distance function between and edge and a vertex is where for and. , . The Wiener index of a graph is denoted by and is defined by .In general this kind of index is called a topological index...

Let G= V E be a simple connected graph. The distance between two vertices of G is defined to be the length of the shortest path between the two vertices. There are topological indices assigned to G and based on the distance function which are invariant under the action of the automorphism group of G. Some important indices assigned to G are the Wiener, Szeged, and PI index which we will find th...

OBJECTIVES Uterine artery Doppler flow studies during the 11th and 14th week of pregnancy are important in the prediction of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction in pregnant women as well as in the prevention thereof. METHODS Our study on Doppler flow indices of the uterine arteries involved 168 patients examined in our clinic, with pregnancies ranging from 11 weeks + 0 days to 13...
