Magnetic field (MF) has had many therapeutic usages in traditional medicine. Today, it is used to accelerate the recovery period after surgical operations by some medical centers and in some horse-training farms in the world. There are some scientific reports on the alternative effect of MF on nervous system function, convulsion, pain, neurons, embryonic cells and immune system cells. For this ...

The distribution and length of actin microfilaments (MF) was determined in axoplasm extruded from the giant axons of the squid (Loligo pealeii). Extruded axoplasm that was separated from the axonal cortex contains approximately 92% of the total axonal actin, and 60% of this actin is polymerized (Morris, J., and R. Lasek. 1984. J. Cell Biol. 98:2064-2076). Localization of MF with rhodamine-phall...

The quantity and quality of maxillary and mandibular bone have long been a focus of attention for dental clinicians. The mandibular condyle is a major growth site and plays an important role during mandibular growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of long-term extremely low frequency magnetic field (ELF-MF) and hormonal changes produced by bilateral ovariectomy on the ...

Introduction: Lack of high-quality sleep causes serious side effects like anxiety and changes in plasma concentration of oxalate. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of local extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MFs) on inducing sleep (sleepiness) and anxiety in male rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 40 male rats were allocated in four groups (n=10). The ELF-MFs ...

OBJECTIVE The mental foramen (MF) hosts main neurovascular structures, making it of crucial importance for surgical procedures. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the dimensions and location of the MF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 344 patients were examined for MF dimensions, as well as for the distances from the MF to the alveolar crest...

Whilst the ability to characterise the on-average monthly or yearly performance of systems without countermeasures is well determined, such methods are not efficient at Ka-band and above. Optimal fade mitigation technique design requires statistically and dynamically correct attenuation time-series. Optimal allocation of communication resources requires consideration of the channel statistics a...

background: mycosis fungoides (mf) is he most common and indolent form of cutaneuse t-cell lymphomas (ctcl), that usually occurs in old adults. objectives: to determine epidemiologic features and patients characteristics of mf in isfahan (iran). methods: we performed a retrospective study in mf clinic of alzahra hospital that is the main center for treatment of mf patients in isfahan (iran) and...

187 Reduction in Asthma Deteriorations in Subjects with Persistent Asthma not Well Controlled on Low-, Medium-, or High-Dose Inhaled Corticosteroids: A Pooled Analysis From Three Clinical Trials Using Combined Mometasone Furoate/Formoterol Steven Weinstein, MD, Robert Nathan, Eli Meltzer, MD, Davis Gates, and Hendrik Nolte.

Ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare variant of MF, occurring in 3.5% of MF patients according to one study (1, 2). Patients with ichthyosiform MF exhibit clinical manifestations similar to those of acquired ichthyosis; histologically, however, they show epidermotropism of atypical lymphocytes. Ichthyosiform MF is characterized by indolent course and usually good response to photother...
