background handheld computers play an increasing role in improving healthcare services by making the information available at the point of care. there is not enough evidence regarding the usage of handheld computers by healthcare professionals in developing countries. objectives this study investigated the benefits and barriers of using handheld computers in clinical practice in a developing co...

there is a new technique to measure total body water named bio-electrical impedance analysis (bia), used in healthy subjects and patients. bia determines the total body water (tbw), fat-free mass (ffm), body cell mass (bcm), extra cellular water (ecw), and intra cellular water (icw) in subjects without significant fluid and electrolyte imbalance. there are several methods such as segmental bia,...

Researchers in bioelectromagnetics often require realistic tissue, cellular and sub-cellular geometry models for their simulations. However, biological shapes are often extremely irregular, while conventional geometrical modeling tools on the market cannot meet the demand for fast and efficient construction of irregular geometries. We have designed a free, user-friendly tool in MATLAB that comb...

abstractgene therapy is a therapeutic approach to deliver genetic material into cells to alter their function in entire organism. one promising form of gene delivery system (dds) is liposomes. the success of liposome-mediated gene delivery is a multifactorial issue and well-designed liposomal systems might lead to optimized gene transfection particularly in vivo. liposomal gene delivery systems...

there are  many  definitions  about  economy . according  to  one of  the  famous  accepted  definitions , economic  laws  have  classified  to two  groups. both  of  them  are  influenced  by  social  structure  and  it’s  changes  so  they  are  different  in  various  societies . movement  from  one  society   to  another  happens  due  to “intellectualize” , principal  maximum  production  ...

in this work quantitative structure activity relationship (qsar) methodology was applied for modeling and prediction of cellular response to polymers that have been designed for tissue engineering. after calculation and screening of molecular descriptors, linear and nonlinear models were developed by using multiple linear regressions (mlr) and artificial neural network (ann) methods. the root m...
