introduction: ultrasonography is currently being used as one of the diagnostic modalities in various medical emergencies for screening of trauma patients. the diagnostic value of this modality in detection of traumatic chest injuries has been evaluated by several studies but its diagnostic accuracy in diagnosis of pulmonary contusion is a matter of discussion. therefore, the present study aimed...

background disability is a relatively common problem in children. the pattern of admission in these children and their common infections may differ from other children because of their special disabilities. objectives we aimed to determine common infectious diseases resulting in admission of these children to our hospital. patients and methods between september 2006 and september 2007, 60 disab...

background diabetic foot ulcer is a worldwide health care concern affecting tens of thousands of patients. if these ulcers left untreated, they can create severe complications. objectives this study was designed to examine the effect of infrared radiation on the healing of diabetic foot ulcer. patients and methods this clinical trial was performed on 50 patients referred to dr. ganjavian hospit...

Abstract: Despite several topical and systemic antifungal drugs are used for the treatment of fungal infection, Amphotericin B (AmB) is still one of the most common first-line choices in systemic fungal infection for over seventh decades from discovery. Amphotericin B which is belonged to the polyene group has a wide spectrum in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity. Its mechanism of antifunga...

The main purpose of this paper is the construction of explicit Gauss-Turán quadrature formulas: they are relative to some classes of weight functions, which have the peculiarity that the corresponding s-orthogonal polynomials, of the same degree, are independent of s. These weights too are introduced and discussed here. Moreover, highest-precision quadratures for evaluating Fourier-Chebyshev co...

Interactions are explored through the observation of the dynamics of particles. On the classical level the basic underlying assumption in that scheme is that Newton's second law holds. Relaxing the validity of this axiom by, e.g., allowing for higher order time derivatives in the equations of motion would allow for a more general structure of interactions. We derive the structure of interaction...

Background: Date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the most important agricultural crops in Iran. This study was carried out to determine the possibility of using date paste for manufacturing a new ready-to-eat food product. Methods: Various formulations were prepared by mixing Mazafati date paste, bread, oil (animal and olive), nuts and spices but only six formulas were chosen according to s...

We revisit the problem of extending quadrature formulas for general weight functions, and provide a generalization of Patterson’s method for the constant weight function. The method can be used to compute a nested sequence of quadrature formulas for integration with respect to any continuous probability measure on the real line with finite moments. The advantages of the method include that it w...

introduction: the role of ultrasonography in detection of pleural effusion has long been a subject of interest but controversial results have been reported. accordingly, this study aims to conduct a systematic review of the available literature on diagnostic value of ultrasonography and radiography in detection of pleural effusion through a meta-analytic approach. methods: an extended search wa...

introduction: hemothorax is one of the most prevalent injuries caused by thoracic traumas. early detection and treatment of this injury is of utmost importance in prognosis of the patient, but there are still controversial debates on the diagnostic value of imaging techniques in detection of hemothorax. therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of chest ultrasonography...
