conclusions the frequency of rls among our patients was remarkable and we conclude that all patients who are undergoing hemodialysis should be screened for rls, which can assist in providing proper attention and treatment. results according to our results, 54.5% of patients were diagnosed with rls, and of those 65.2% and 42.9% were women and men, respectively. rls is seen more often among patie...

a total of 150 day old female chickens (ross 308) were randomly allocated to 2 groups with 5 replicate and 15 chicks in each replicate to determine the effects of cold induced ascites on performance, antioxidant status, blood enzyme activities and bone metabolism. the two experimental treatments were: 1) chicks that reared under normal temperature (nt) and 2) chicks that reared under cold tempe...

granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm most commonly appears in the head and neck region, especially in the tongue, cheek mucosa, and palate. occurrence in limbs is even rarer. these tumors account for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. granular cell tumor can also affect other organs including skin, breast, and lungs. local recurrence and metastasis is potentially higher in m...

Background & Aims: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are among most common types of injuries that occur during sport activities. Some studies reported dominance leg is significant predictor for ACL injuries. However, it unclear whether dominant or non-dominant impacts functional status and psychological readiness return after ACL. The purpose this study was determine if there...

Stress assignment to polysyllabic words is the only aspect of the pronunciation of written Italian that cannot be predicted by rule. It could be a function of stress dominance in the language or of stress neighborhood (i.e., the number of words sharing an ending and a stress pattern). In two experiments, we investigated stress assignment in Italian adult and, most importantly, young readers. Wo...

BACKGROUND Patients with unilateral sciatica have heightened responses to intradermal capsaicin compared to pain-free volunteers. No studies have investigated whether this pain model can screen for novel anti-neuropathic agents in patients with pre-existing neuropathic pain syndromes. AIM This study compared the effects of pregabalin (300 mg) and the tetracycline antibiotic and glial attenuat...

There are however, only a few studies that have examined the risk of injury of competitive skiers, especially of the junior ski racers. METHODS The inclusion criterion was an injury in alpine skiing resulting in a pause in training longer than...

background: despite some successful dynamic simulation of self-impact double pendulum (sidp)-as humanoid robots legs or arms- studies, there is limited information available about the control of one leg locomotion. objective   : the main goal of this research is to improve the reliability of the mammalians leg locomotion and building more elaborated models close to the natural movements, by mod...
