Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a valid model for patients’ admission or discharge from emergency services to improve the health system and reduce costs.Methods: This study was carried out using a prospective cohort method. The study population was patients with limb cellulitis referring to the emergency department of Peymanieh hospital. In this research, the study pa...

The neural crest is a multipotent stem cell population that arises from the dorsal aspect of the neural tube and generates both non-ectomesenchymal (melanocytes, peripheral neurons and glia) and ectomesenchymal (skeletogenic, odontogenic, cartilaginous and connective tissue) derivatives. In amniotes, only cranial neural crest generates both classes, with trunk neural crest restricted to non-ect...

The trunk of fish is covered by a large variety of morphologically and structurally diverse skeletal elements, such as scales, scutes and bony plates [1]. These elements are formed from intramembraneous ossifications and are part of the integumentary skeleton [2]. Histological and developmental similarities with neural crest-derived teeth in fossil and extant vertebrates, have led to the widely...

The lamprey is the only basal vertebrate in which large-scale gene perturbation analyses are feasible at present. Studies on this unique animal model promise to contribute both to the understanding of the basic neural-crest gene regulatory network architecture, and evolution of the neural crest. In this review, we summarize the currently known regulatory relationships underlying formation of th...

BACKGROUND Complications associated with iliac crest bone-graft donor sites have been reported. This prospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence of pain and complications at the iliac crest donor site in patients undergoing treatment of fracture nonunion. METHODS Ninety-two patients undergoing anterior iliac crest bone-grafting for nonunion or delayed union of a long-bone frac...

dam spillways are the structures that lead rightly and safely the outflow downstream, so that the dam integrity can be guaranteed. many accidents with dams have been caused by an inadequate spillway design or insufficient capacity. to accurately respond the hydraulic spillways, designers use physical modeling for designing this kind of structures. the scale effect in the spillway modeling, as a...

CREST is a new architectural style for highly dynamic distributed applications. CREST (Computational REST) is a generalization of the REST architectural style that shaped the scaleable WWW. In CREST, URLs denote loci of computations and the representations exchanged are expressions that may be as simple as a string literal or as rich as full continuations or closures. CREST eliminates the clien...

A dam spillway is a hydraulic structure that appropriately and safely diverts the outflow to downstream, so that the dam stability and passing of flood flows can be guaranteed. Compared to straight crest spillway, an Ogee spillway with curvature in plan in a fixed-width can pass more flow. Therefore under the low hydraulic heads and the need for a smaller place in plane, they are considered as ...

Wave overtopping at breakwaters is one of their essential hydraulic characteristics when determining the design crest level. This study concentrates on developing a new practical formula on predicting wave overtopping, by implementing two different statistical models, Multiple Linear Regression model (MLR) and Generalized Linear Regression model (GLM). The models consider dependency of overtopp...
