Introduction: Retinoid signaling has been argued to have favorable effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied the role of chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the amyloid-beta (Aβ) model of AD. Methods: Adult male rats weighing 260-330 g were divided into 12 groups of 8 each. Six groups of rats received ATRA (3nM, 30nM, 3μM, 0.3mM, 30...

background: one the main aspects of an in vitro fertilization (ivf) cycle is to avoid any possible systemic damage to women undergoing to a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (coh). the aim of this work is to evaluate renal and hepatic function blood tests in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation during ivf cycles. materials and methods: all patients received a long stimulati...

this paper describes the system design of a portable and economical mu rhythm based brain computer interface which employs cypress semiconductors programmable system on chip (psoc). by carrying out essential processing on the psoc, the use of an extra computer is eliminated, resulting in considerable cost savings. microsoft visual studio 2005 and psoc designer 5.01 are employed in developing th...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate some results on natural metrics on the $mu$-normal functions and meromorphic $Q_p$-classes‎. ‎Also‎, ‎these classes are shown to be complete metric spaces with respect to the corresponding metrics‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎compact composition operators $C_phi$ and Lipschitz continuous operators acting from $mu$-normal functions to the meromorphic $Q_p$-classes are characte...
