Background: Splenectomy is a common treatment for beta thalassemia. It not only eliminates many complications by reducing the need for blood transfusion, but also causes new complications that threaten the patientschr('39') health. The aim of this study was to determine if splenectomy could alter the lipid profile and glucose metabolism in beta thalassemia major patients. Methods: In this case-...

Objective: Tea, camellia sinensis, which is used as a popular beverage in Iran, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases suchas coronary heart disease (CHD). In this investigation, we studied the effect of Iranian black and green tea on serum and liver lipid profile which is closely associated with obesity and many cardiovascular diseases. Materials and Methods: 24 male adult Wistar rats...

A profile is a relationship between a response variable and one or more independent variables being controlled during the time. Process Capability Indices (PCI) are measured to evaluate the performance of processes in producing conforming products. Despite frequent applications of profile and a variety of available methods to monitor its different types, little researches have been carried out ...

In this paper we present RELXILLDGRAD_NK, a relativistic reflection model in which the electron density of accretion disk is allowed to have radial power-law profile. The ionization parameter has also non-constant profile and calculated self-consistently from emissivity. We show impact implementation gradient our by analyzing NuSTAR spectrum Galactic black hole EXO 1846-031 during its last outb...

We investigate the influence of the inner profile of the lens objects on gravitational lensing statistics taking into account of the effect of the magnification bias and both the evolution and the scatter of halo profiles. We take the dark matter halos as the lens objects and consider the following three models for the density profile of the dark matter halo; SIS (singular isothermal sphere), t...
