The Internet today is not what it was a decade ago. Social networking was emerging with MySpace and Facebook was an unknown term for almost everyone on the planet. Similarly the iPhone was none existing and a smart phone with the Android OS will come only after few years. Cloud Computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) were concepts known only to specific industry and researchers. Now, Faceboo...

Sodium efflux (JNut) across the irrigated trout gill was rapid in sea water (SW), but only about 25 % as large in fresh water (FW). The difference correlated with a change in the potential difference across the gill (TEP). The latter was about +10 mV (blood positive) in SW, but -40 mV in FW. Both flux and electrical data indicated that gills in this fish are permeable to a variety of cations in...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine whether long-term exercise training will improve age-related cardiac metabolic derangement using proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Young and old male Fischer 344 rats were assigned to sedentary controls groups {young control (YC) group-3 months of age: YC, n=10; old control (OC) group-22 mo...

In a reverse microemulsion consisting of water, oil (octane), an anionic surfactant [aerosol OT (AOT)], and the reactants of the oscillating Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction, a variety of complex spatiotemporal patterns appear. These include traveling and standing waves, spirals that move either toward or away from their centers, spatiotemporal chaos, Turing patterns, segmented waves, and loc...

Background: The capability of embryonic carcinoma cells P19 in differentiation to Cardiomyocyte was examined through inducing effects of Oxytocin (OT) and 5-Azacytidin (5Az) individually and compared with each other in laboratory condition. Materials and Methods: P19 Embryoid Bodies (EBs) was formed through hanging drops method. Then, EBs were treated with (5Az) or (OT) and the EB medium (Ct...

We measure cross-diffusion coefficients in a five-component system, an aerosol OT (AOT) water-in-oil microemulsion loaded with two constituents of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction (H(2) O/AOT/BZ1/BZ2/octane). The species BZ1 is either NaBr, an inhibitor of the BZ reaction, or ferroin, a catalyst for the reaction. As species BZ2, we choose Br(2) , an intermediate in the reaction. The cross...

This year is the 50th anniversary of Occupational Therapy (OT) in Iran. This is a hallmark to reflect on our achievements and plan for the future. Iranian OT was established in 1971 in Shafa Rehabilitation Hospital [1]. I can imagine how many people who were the managers facilitating the foundation of the department or those who were overseas occupational therapists were excited at the time. Th...

background: ischemia reperfusion (ir) is the main pathology of torsion of testis and it is a common urologic emergency. there is some evidence that shows oxytocin (ot) plays role in ischemia reperfusion. objective: to evaluate this hypothesis that ot can decrease germ cell apoptotic index in testis under acute ischemia reperfusion in a rat model. materials and methods: 20 adult rats were random...
