background :although transfusion is a common procedure for treating anemia of prematurity, there is no specific protocol for blood transfusion in premature newborns. so in this study we investigate whether application of a strict protocol has any statistically significant effect on reduction of blood transfusion.   methods : in this study, first group admitted in nicu during 2005 - 2006 and the...

in this paper, we propose a scheme to improve existing ad-hoc on-demanddistance vector (aodv) routing protocol by discovering and maintaining multiplenon-overlapped routes. our routing protocol is a multipath version of aodvrouting protocol that considers only the disjoint path. due to non-overlappingamong paths, when a link breaks in the network, only one of paths is expired. thepresented rout...

In mobile ad hoc networks, the absence ofinfrastructure and the consequent absence of authorizationfacilities impede the usual practice of establishing a practicalcriterion to distinguishing nodes as trusted and distrusted.Since all nodes in the MANETs would be used as router inmulti-hop applications, secure routing protocols have vital rulein the security of the network. So evaluating the perf...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of two simultaneous protocols in reducing recovery time and assessment of adverse effects of different fluid replacement therapy in management of diabetic ketoacidosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this randomized clinical trial study, two standard protocols were chosen to evaluate recovery time and incidence of DKA complications. RESULTS: 18 subjects who had ...

As a response to a growing interest in RFID systems such as Internet of Things technology along with satisfying the security of these networks, proposing secure authentication protocols are indispensable part of the system design. Hence, authentication protocols to increase security and privacy in RFID applications have gained much attention in the literature. In this study, security and privac...

background: general concern is that the pregnancy rate is higher with gnrh-agonist as a protocol of pituitary suppression. gnrh-antagonist protocol provides a shorter period of administration and an easy flexible protocol. objective: in this study, the outcomes of gnrh agonist and antagonist in icsi cycles are compared in normo responder patients. materials and methods: in this randomized clini...

background: snakebite in iran has been a health concern. however, management of snakebite is not standardized and varies from center to center. this study is aimed at devising an evidence-based comprehensive protocol for snakebite management in iran, to reduce unnecessary variations in practice. materials and methods: a narrative search in electronic databases was performed. fifty peer-reviewed...

telemedicine has changed the way of health care. it is an indispensable tool in the hands of doctors to accelerate and facilitate the process of data interchange. wireless networks consist of small nodes with communications capabilities. development of wireless networks of telemedicine system is highly demanded since these networks promise a wide range of potential applications. in this paper t...

context hamstring acute muscle injuries are prevalent in several sports including afl football (australian football league), sprinting and soccer, and are often associated with prolonged time away from sport. evidence acquisition in response to this, research into prevention and management of hamstring injury has increased, but epidemiological data shows no decline in injury and re-injury rates...
