endobronchial tuberculosis and chest radiography i read, with interest, the article entitled “clinical and para-clinical presentations of endobronchial tuberculosis” by ahmadi hoseini h. s. et al. (1) published in this journal. i would like to focus on some details about the chest x-ray of patients as elaborated by the authors in the results section. accordingly, the findings of chest radiograp...

introduction: chest pain is a common compliant in children and adolescents visiting the clinic. we assess and analyze the etiology of chest pain among children referred a pediatric cardiology clinic in cardiac center in south west of iran.materials and methods: we assessed children with chest pain who visited our medical center during march 2013 to april 2014. any case of trauma associated ches...

determination of birth indices is essential for primary supportive care, evaluation of perinatal anomalies, determination amount of difference from standard values and for further follow up. in this study using a multicentre sampling, a number of 2832 healthy neonates selected. mean and percentile values of four main birth indices; weight, height, head and chest circumference are presented. in ...

In our daily life, cancer is well-known disease that causes of death in both men and women and understand about the survival rate of lung cancer which is extremely poor. To increase this survival rate of cancerous patient, it is primarily to detect at premature stage which enables many new options for the cancer treatment without risk. In this paper, the author represents Lung Cancer Detection ...

The current WRF-Fire model starts the fire from a given ignition point at a given time. We want to start the model from a given fire perimeter at a given time instead. However, the fuel balance and the state of the atmosphere depend on the history of the fire. The purpose of this work is to create an approximate artificial history of the fire based on the given fire perimeter and time and an ap...

The aim of this study was to compute and validate trunk transverse surface area (TTSA) estimation equations to be used assessing the swimmer's drag force according to competitive level by gender. One group of 130 swimmers (54 females and 76 males) was used to compute the TTSA estimation equations and another group of 132 swimmers (56 females and 76 males) were used for its validations. Swimmers...

We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of models of lattice polygons, mainly on the square lattice. In particular, we focus on limiting area laws in the uniform perimeter ensemble where, for fixed perimeter, each polygon of a given area occurs with the same probability. We relate limit distributions to the scaling behaviour of the associated perimeter and area generating functions, thereby providi...

The aim of this study was to compute and validate estimation equations for the trunk transverse surface area (TTSA) to be used in assessing the swimmer's drag force in both genders. One group of 133 swimmers (56 females, 77 males) was used to compute the estimation equations and another group of 131 swimmers (56 females, 75 males) was used for its validations. Swimmers were photographed in the ...

Article history: Received 30 January 2008 Received in revised form 9 June 2008 Accepted 7 August 2008 Our aim was to ascertain inbreeding depression in the Spanish Purebred horses for eight body measurements. A total of 16,472 individuals were measured for height at withers, height at chest, leg length, body length, width of chest, heart girth circumference, knee perimeter and cannon bone circu...
