original article   one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf-magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf meters. elf-mf was measured by tes-1394 mf tester (three-axis...

original article background and objectives: one type of electromagnetic fields, based on frequency range, is extremely low frequency (elf) fields. there are lots of reports about measuring elf- magnetic field (mf) in substations, power plants, cities, near high voltage power lines and etc. this study aimed to compare the difference between measurement of three-axis and single-axis probe mf mete...

The Turing reaction-diffusion model explains how identical cells can self-organize to form spatial patterns. It has been suggested that extracellular signaling molecules with different diffusion coefficients underlie this model, but the contribution of cell-autonomous signaling components is largely unknown. We developed an automated mathematical analysis to derive a catalog of realistic Turing...

purpose : to determine the association between astigmatism and spherical refractive error in a clinical population methods : in this cross-sectional study, 2,000 patients who presented to our optometry clinic were enrolled. all were tested for objective refraction with a nidek ar-310a auto refractometer, and non-cycloplegic refraction. for those under 15 years of age, cycloplegic refraction was...

objective(s) the mechanism(s) by which antidepressants regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis remain elusive. the endocannabinoid system (ecbs) which exhibits antidepressant potential, appears to regulate the hpa axis activity. therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of the ecbs in the action of doxepin including its effect on the hpa axis. materials and methods male wistar ...

introduction: numerous studies have demonstrated that kisspeptin, a peptide from the kiss1 gene, plays an important role in regulating the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh). also, there is some evidence suggesting that kisspeptin can interact with other neuropeptides for the control of the reproductive axis. in the present study, we have investigated the effect of central admin...

nimodipine, an l-type calcium channel blocker, can induce analgesia. however, it is not clear that this analgesic effect is at the level of spinal or supraspinal pain pathway. in addition, it has been reported that the analgesic effect of nifedipine, another l-type calcium channel blocker is related to the hpa axis, but there is no report indicating the role of this axis in the analgesic effect...

the prevalence of mental health disorders continues to rise worldwide, such that it is estimated that 1in 4 individuals will be affected by a mental health disorder at some point in their lifetime. research has found that the most prevalent mental health disorders are depressive disorder. depression is a common condition, particularly within the aging population. the development of depression, ...
