Programmed cell death 6 (PDCD6) participates in T cell receptor, Fas, and glucocorticoid-induced programmed cell death. To test the relationship between PDCD6 polymorphisms and uterine leiomyomas (UL) risk, we investigated the association of two SNPs (rs4957014 and rs3756712) in PDCD6 with UL risk in a case-control study of 295 unrelated premenopausal UL patients and 436 healthy postmenopausal ...

BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyoma (UL) is a benign tumor of uterine smooth muscle that affects women in reproductive ages. FAS has an important role in initial stages of apoptosis. Previous studies have shown an association between the FAS gene and tumorigenesis. In the present study, we evaluated the relationship between FAS A-670G (rs 1800682) and UL risk. METHODS The FAS gene polymorphism of 15...

Chronic motor deficits in the upper limb (UL) are a major contributor to disability following stroke. This study investigated the effect of short-duration robot-assisted therapy on motor impairment, as measured by clinical scales and robot-derived performance measures in patients with chronic, severe UL impairments after stroke. As part of a larger study, 15 individuals with chronic, severe UL ...

the present paper studies the introduction of atlal in two imra’ ul-qais and zuhayr bin abī sūlmā works of art. selection of these two poets has some reasons; one of them is that each opposes the other; while imra’ ul-qais is a bon vivant man but zuhayr is a god – fearing one. they both experience different conditions of life. the importance of this issue is their interactions with women which ...

The cloud radio access network (C-RAN) concept, in which densely deployed access points (APs) are empowered by cloud computing to cooperatively support mobile users (MUs), to improve mobile data rates, has been recently proposed. However, the high density of active (“on”) APs results in severe interference and also inefficient energy consumption. Moreover, the growing popularity of highly inter...

BACKGROUND Grip strength, commonly evaluated with the handgrip dynamometer, is a good indicator of upper limb (UL) function in stroke subjects and may reflect the global strength deficits of the whole paretic UL. The Modified Sphygmomanometer Test (MST) also provides objective and adequate measures at low-cost. OBJECTIVE To assess whether grip strength values obtained by using the MST and tho...

BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyomata (UL) are the primary indication for hysterectomy and are 2-3 times more common in black than white women. High dietary fat intake has been associated with increased endogenous concentrations of estradiol, a sex steroid hormone that is known to influence UL risk. OBJECTIVE We assessed the relation of dietary fat intake (total, subtypes, and selected food sources)...

Aim: The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of 6 weeks bilateral (BL) versus unilateral (UL) complex training combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT) on maximal strength, jumping ability, straight sprint (5, 10, 20 and 30 m), change of direction speed (CODS), repeated sprint ability (RSA) and specific endurance in Swedish elite male and female handball players....
